Dahon Curve D3 bike review

Dahon produced the Curve D3 bike in 2008 and can be classified as a Folding bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $529.95.
Dahon Folding Curve D3 can be found in one single color which is Fire.
This bike is equiped with 16 x 2.00" Schwalbe Big Apple tires while the rims are manufactured by Aluminum. Dahon equiped this exact model with ProMax Alloy V-Brake brakes, Promax alloy levers braking system and Front: Dahon Mini, Rear: SRAM I-motion 3-speed hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Dahon used 7005 Alloy material for the frame. Flat Alloy high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Curve D3 to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Radius Telescope.
For the smoothest biking experience Cold-forged 6061-T6, 46 teeth 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 SRAM Twist gear shift levers.
