Dahon Vitesse P18 bike review

Dahon produced the Vitesse P18 bike in 2009 and can be classified as a Folding bicycle.
Dahon Folding Vitesse P18 can be found in one single color which is Cloud.
This bike is equiped with 20 x 1.50" Schwalbe Kojak SE tires and Stainless 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 levers braking system and Front: Kinetix Neutron, Rear: Kinetix Comp hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Dahon used 7005 butted aluminum material for the frame. Ritchey flat bar high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Vitesse P18 to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Radius V Telescope.
For the smoothest biking experience FSA Dahon SE, 44/55 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to SRAM PC-971 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Dahon, the whole system is connected to a high reliability MicroShift Thumb tap gear shift levers.
