Dahon Helios bike review

Dahon produced the Helios bike in 2003 and can be classified as a Folding bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $499.95.
Dahon Folding Helios can be found in one single color which is Polished.
This bike is equiped with 20 x 1.50" tires and Stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Aluminum, 28-hole. Dahon equiped this exact model with ProMax linear-pull brakes, Promax levers braking system and Aluminum, Q/R hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Dahon used 7005 aluminum material for the frame. Aluminum high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Helios to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Dahon folding.
For the smoothest biking experience Aluminum is used on this bicycle linked to KMC chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Dahon, the whole system is connected to a high reliability SRAM gear shift levers.
