Old school touring bikes are a pain in the neck to get to and from your touring destination. We think that touring bikes need to be easy to transport. The Smooth Hound packs flat in seconds and slips easily into a shoulder bag for you to carry around or stash at night. Fifteen minutes is all it takes to pack it into an airline legal suitcase. Yet the Smooth Hound has all the features you need for comfortable, convenient touring: the tall head tube let’s you sit a bit more upright, for long hours in the saddle; BioLogic™ handlebars are ergonomically designed to give you multiple hand positions; luggage racks are set closer to the ground for a lower center of gravity and improved load stability; and in a nod to Old World functionality and workmanship, the Smooth Hound features a hand-made Brooks Champion leather saddle in a Dahon custom antique brown color.
