  • Commutes combining riding a bike with buses or trains.
  • Storing under a desk at work and riding to lunch.
  • Weekend getaways.

Customers rave about the styling and delightfully smooth handling of the Curve D3, one of Dahon’s most popular bikes. It’s the perfect bike for an easy commute or as secondary transportation stashed in a car. With its impressively small folded package it’s easy to take two for a weekend getaway. The Curve is available in three head-turning colors to match anyone’s style: fire red, blush pink, and cloud white.

  • Provides the stable ride of a much larger bike.
  • Adjusts to fit a wide range of riders, from short to tall.
  • Folds in seconds and is easy to carry, so it never needs to be left outside.
  • Patented V-Clamp frame hinge is strong, durable, and easy to operate.
  • Schwalbe Big Apple tires give a super comfortable ride.
