Dahon Ciao! P8 bike review

Dahon produced the Ciao! P8 bike in 2008 and can be classified as a Folding bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $849.95.
Dahon Folding Ciao! P8 can be found in one single color which is Plymouth.
This bike is equiped with 20 x 1" Schwalbe Marathon Racer tires while the rims are manufactured by Kinlin alloy double wall. Dahon equiped this exact model with Kinetix Linear brakes, BioLogic VB levers braking system and Front: BioLogic Joule dynamo, Rear: Shimano Nexus internal 8-speed hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Dahon used 7005 aluminum 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 Telescope.
For the smoothest biking experience Kinetix Wing is used on this bicycle linked to KMC Rustbuster chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Dahon, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano gear shift levers.
