When you combine a light aluminum frame with our latest patented technology and equip it with our Deluxe component package, the result is one of the best values on the market. The Vitesse was recently rated the overall winner in a folding bike shootout, beating out all comers, including bikes costing up to four times as much. It’s no wonder then that the Vitesse is one of the most popular folding bikes on the market.

Folding and Unfolding Guide
dahon reviews

“... the Vitesse is more or less in a class of it's own. ... Dahon is on to a winner.”
- A2B magazine, UK

“First of all thank you for some excellent service. My initial enquiries were answered promptly and fully and once I’d placed the order the bike came when you said it would. I'm delighted with the bike, as you say it rides beautifully, much nicer than the Brompton - it's easy to forget you are on a small wheeled folding bike.”
- H. Medley, UK

“Almost a month ago, I got a Vitesse D3/D7 and it has been terrific. I’ve averaged 5-6 miles a day including weekends. Dahon's folding mechanism is so easy I would highly recommend it to all commuters. I've amazed quite a few onlookers when I fold my bike in 15 seconds and carry it inside a building.”
- Blassty, from the Dahon Community Forum, Chicago, IL

1st Place - Overall Test Winner
"THE extremely comfortable Vitesse trounced the opposition. Only 50 seconds passed before it was ready to ride, while folding took less than 30. It was lightweight, handled brilliantly and its smooth gripshift gearchange and three well spaced ratios made easy work of our test route. It folded down small and featured a bell, rack and bungees to secure a case. Easily our Best Buy.”
