Folding Bicycle Description
The JetStream P8 is ready to tackle the toughest, roughest roads and help say goodbye to intimidating commutes. Designed in collaboration with suspension-meisters, Geman A, the location of the frame pivot point and suspension kinematics have been special tuned for smaller wheels. In combination with the Kinetix fork, the effect is nothing short of a revelation.
