Dahon Glide P8 bike review

Dahon produced the Glide P8 bike in 2011 and can be classified as a Folding bicycle.
Dahon Folding Glide P8 can be found in a few colors, among these colors Caramel, midnight and stealth .
This bike is equiped with 24 x 2.00" Schwalbe Big Apple tires and Stainless spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Kinetix Comp. Dahon equiped this exact model with Kinetix SpeedStop V brakes, BioLogic VB levers braking system and Front: BioLogic Joule dynamo, Rear: Shimano Nexus 8 hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Dahon used 7005 aluminum alloy material for the frame. BioLogic Crescent high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Glide P8 to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Dahon Axis.
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.
