Dahon Curve SL bike review

Dahon produced the Curve SL bike in 2008 and can be classified as a Folding bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $919.95.
Dahon Folding Curve SL can be found in one single color which is Magnesium.
This bike is equiped with 16 x 1.50" Schwalbe Marathon Racer tires while the rims are manufactured by Kinetix Pro. Dahon equiped this exact model with Kinetix SpeedStop V brakes, Avid FR-5 front/Avid FR- 5 rear levers braking system and Front: Kinetix Nuetron, Rear: Shimano Nexus internal 8-speed hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Dahon used 7005 Alloy material for the frame. Kinetix Pro high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Curve SL 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 Rustbuster chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Dahon, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano Nexus Revo Shifter gear shift levers.
