Folding Bicycles and Folding Bicycle Accessories by Dahon: Hammerhead 8.0

Training rides on executive "training" trips..
The Tin Mountain Hillclimb.
Climbing passes in the Alps.

Don’t let the small wheels fool you – the Hammerhead is as fast as many full-sized road bikes, especially if you do a lot of climbing. Small wheels are slightly higher in rolling resistance, but they are also inherently lighter, faster to accelerate, and most importantly, more aerodynamically efficient. Packs flat in seconds for the elevator or with 15 minutes into a suitcase to catch the next flight. Ever fly to some amazing place on a business trip and wish for a quick ride? Now it’s possible.

Built around small wheels but as fast as most 700c race bikes.
Fifteen minutes to pack it into an Airporter Mini, our airline- approved suitcase.
Shimano Ultegra 20 speed drivetrain.
Dahon Special Edition FSA crankset
