- Those who want the benefits of a folding bike, plus all the features they love on their traditional bike.
The all-new Matrix is a versatile bike that will take on anything you throw at it. Drop it down on the nastiest potholed roads and the hydraulically-damped fork smooths everything out. On smooth tarmac, lock out the fork and you can hammer away efficiently. We’ve given the Matrix a LockJaw folding hinge too. When locked down, the hinges are incredibly strong but virtually invisible so nobody will even know you’re on a folding bike. 
- Fold it and store it in the trunk to save the cost and hassle of a car rack.
- The durability of a mountain bike and the speed of a road bike.
- Suspension fork absorbs the shock from the worst roads.
- High pressure Continental Sport Contact tires feature a Kevlar anti-puncture belt.
- Shimano Disk Brakes for excellent all-weather braking function.
