Dahon Ciao! P8 bike review

Dahon produced the Ciao! P8 bike in 2010 and can be classified as a Folding bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $979.00.
Dahon Folding Ciao! P8 can be found in one single color which is Charcoal.
This bike is equiped with 20" Schwable Marathon Racer tires and Stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Kinetix Comp double wall. Dahon equiped this exact model with Kinetix SpeedStop V brakes, BioLogic VB levers braking system and Front: BioLogic Joule II dynamo, Rear: Shimano Nexus 8 speed Internal hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Dahon used 7005 Butted Aluminum Alloy material for the frame. BioLogic Crescent high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Ciao! P8 to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Radius V Telescope.
For the smoothest biking experience Kinetix Wing is used on this bicycle linked to KMC Z610RB chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Dahon, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano gear shift levers.
