Dahon Mu P8 bike review

Dahon produced the Mu P8 bike in 2008 and can be classified as a Folding bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $629.95.
Dahon Folding Mu P8 can be found in one single color which is Orbit.
This bike is equiped with 20 x 1.50" Schwalbe Marathon Racer tires while the rims are manufactured by Kinetix Comp box, CNC. Dahon equiped this exact model with Kinetix SpeedStop V brakes, Avid FR-5 front/Avid FR- 5 rear levers braking system and Kinetix Comp hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Dahon used 7005 Alloy material for the frame. Ritchey high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Mu P8 to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Radius Telescope.
For the smoothest biking experience Sugino XD is used on this bicycle linked to KMC Z82 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Dahon, the whole system is connected to a high reliability SRAM Twist gear shift levers.
