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 the trusty Speed TR, there isn’t a back alley that can’t be explored. The Speed TR is a full-featured touring bike that packs in seconds into a suitcase for convenient travel. The robust 4130 chromoly steel frame and custom racks can be loaded with luggage. High-volume Schwalbe Big Apple tires provide cushy comfort on even the worst roads. A SRAM DualDrive drive train serves up 24 evenly spaced gears, including a 21” low gear when you are fully loaded and humping up a climb in the Alps. 
- SRAM DualDrive drivetrain has an incredibly wide gear range: the low gear is lower than a mountain bike; the high gear is as high as a road bike.
- BioLogic™ PostPump – large volume floor pump integrated inside the seatpost.
- Syntace VRO adjustable handlebar system allow riders to find the most comfortable riding position.
- Ergon grips with magnesium bar ends allow multiple hand positions and are the most comfortable grips on the market.
- Optional AirPorter suitcase lets you fly anywhere in the world with your bike and gear.

"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."
- V. Slattery and T. James, Brisbane, Australia
" 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."
