Raleigh Folding i8 bike review

Raleigh produced the Folding i8 bike in 2012 and can be classified as a Hybrid bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $710.00.
Raleigh Hybrid Folding i8 can be found in one single color which is Black.
This bike is equiped with Freedom Cruz 20 X 1.5 tires while the rims are manufactured by Weinmann SP17. Raleigh equiped this exact model with Tektro linear pull braking system and Unavailable front hub Shimano Nexus interal 8spd hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Raleigh used Atomic 13 Aluminum material for the frame. Alloy Flat Bar high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Folding i8 to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Alloy Folding.
For the smoothest biking experience Forged Aluminum 46t is used on this bicycle linked to Shimano HG40 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Raleigh, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano Nexus Twist 8spd gear shift levers.
