Dahon Speed P8 bike review

Dahon produced the Speed P8 bike in 2010 and can be classified as a Folding bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $649.00.
Dahon Folding Speed P8 can be found in one single color which is Fire.
This bike is equiped with Front: 20 x 2.00" Schwable Big Apple tires and Stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Kinetix Comp double wall. Dahon equiped this exact model with Kinetix SpeedStop V brakes, Avid FR-5 front/Avid FR- 5 rear levers braking system and Front: Kinetix Neutron, Rear: Kinetix Comp hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Dahon used SuperLite 4130 Chromoly, double-butted material for the frame. Ritchey high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Speed P8 to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Radius V forged.
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.
