Speed TR
Perfect for
  • Touring in Tuscany.
  • Exploring in Vietnam.
  • Vineyard hopping in Napa.
If your idea of a vacation is heading to places like Croatia, Costa Rica, or Vietnam to tour the local back roads, the Speed TR is your bike. With your trusty Speed TR, there isn’t a back alley that can’t be explored. It’s a fullfeatured touring bike that packs in seconds into a suitcase for convenient travel. The robust 4130 chromoly steel frame and custom Tour racks can be loaded with luggage. High-volume Schwalbe Big Apple tires provide cushy comfort on even the worst roads. A SRAM DualDrive drivetrain serves up 24 evenly spaced gears, including a 21” low gear when you are fully loaded and humping up a climb in the Alps.

dahon reviews

"The overall quality and finish of Dahon's touring bike is of a very high standard indeed, right from the deep gloss lustre of its black paint to using stainless steel screws and bolts throughout whenever possible."

"In motion, the bikes were a revelation. The smaller wheel size meant that not only did the bikes feel nimble when fully loaded, but stable as well."

"Today our quest for a Dahon bike finished when we took delivery of a Speed TR. We are very impressed with your bike ... it changes gear like a dream and is very adjustable and comfortable."

" Took delivery of my Speed TR 2 weeks ago. On the whole I am well pleased with the whole set up, and value for money. How can Dahon give all that for the price!! I am used to UK prices, being a Brompton owner. Does it beat the Brompton L5? You bet! Hands down!!!"

"I took delivery of my Dahon Speed TR in early April and have used it for commuting to work every day since, being impressed with the way it handled over the urban route (1.5 miles each way) I took it out on Thursday 20th May (day off) for a longer run. This was about 30 miles over small country roads and a couple of rougher cycle tracks, mainly the Brampton Valley Way, which is part of the SUStrans route 6 I believe. The rest of the route took in some of Northamptonshire's rolling hills (short but very sharp). All in all I am very impressed. My expectations of the Speed TR's performance have been exceeded. In fact I would go so far as to say that it equals my hybridised light tourer (531ST frame, 700c wheels) for speed and performance, but the Speed TR is quite a bit more comfortable.Prior to this run I would always choose the tourer for leisure and tour riding, now I have to decide which to use because the Speed TR is an equally capable machine. So to sum up I would like to say thank you for your help and please pass my congratulations on to Dahon for making a fantastic machine."
