The Cadenza is an urban machine designed for hard-core riders who need a bike to get them around fast, in any weather, no matter what the road conditions. Compact road double gearing and high pressure Conti slicks take care of the speed. Ergon grips, an adjustable Dahon F.I.T. Stem, and BioLogic™ Aria saddle take care of comfort. Kevlar belted tires and an integrated pump hidden inside the seatpost serve as prevention for urban road hazards. And patented LockJaw™ technology lets you fold the bike in under 30 seconds so your urban companion can always rest inside, safe and sound. 
- Frame features an eccentric bottom bracket and vertical drop outs, V- and disc brake mounts, and rack and fender braze-ons so you can customize your bike any way you want.
- FSA compact road crankset with wide ratio 11-32 cassette deliver plenty of hill climb gears.
- Dahon F.I.T. stem offers 50 mm of vertical adjustment so you can dial in the optimal riding position.
- Integrated pump hidden inside the seatpost is always ready when you need it.
- Clearance for tires up to 2.0” so you can go fat or skinny.
