Folding Bicycle Description
The Mμ P8 is one of Dahon’s most versatile, all-around bikes. It’s wonderfully light, fast enough for long weekend rides, and stylish enough to turn heads everywhere you go. Great performance and a good value. Lighter, stronger, and faster are the goals and the Mμ P8 delivers on all three.

dahon reviews

"... the nippy and responsive frame is complemented by the tyres, wheels and saddle, which together provide a good level of smoothness and ride quality. The bike rolls quite freely, making it appear easy to press on and encouraging a pro-active, even assertive style (essential for survival in London!). I find myself humming a tune and smiling at other road users a good proportion of the time."
