IF Reach folding bike - Video Review

http://www.nycewheels.com/if-reach-folding-bike.html

The IF Reach folding bicycle, by Pacific Cycles, is a high performance bike that happens to fold up to a nice compact size. With 18 speeds and full suspension, it's not only built for speed but comfort too. This folding bicycle is made in Taiwan and utilizes a uniquely fantastic folding design.

In just 15 seconds you can go from fast full sized bike to compact portable package. Throw the IF Reach into your car trunk, take it on a boat, fly with it on vacation. It's the best way to take a bicycle with you wherever you go.

Nice review, although the rear suspension is not a 'standars air shock' - although it looks like one it is actually an enclosed elastomer-based device - takes the same elastomers as the Birdy

@karlgw That's very good to know, thanks! -Peter

Another great review. Nycewheels is awesome! Did you really have a flyer in the air ahead of the bike above a city avenue? The operator must be incredibly skilled... It's mind-blowing stuff. Any chance to see some behind-the-scenes footage on how you film these reviews?

@vedranre : ) thanks. Yep, we did fly it in traffic but made sure there was nobody right below us. I have been flying almost every day for 10 months now. There is a short video on our YouTube channel, search for "Helicopter Bike Cam for Product Videos" It doesn't show the GoPro camera setup but you get an idea what it looks like. Thank you for watching. -Bert

Looks like a Moulton wannabe. 

[nycewheels]

@frootiloopi Many folding bikes draw from the Moulton design. Brompton and Birdy use the suspension system, for example. The unique thing about the IF Reach is how the linkages allow the frame to fold up and then roll so smoothly. There really is no folding mechanism like that - it's called Integrated Folding. -Peter

@nycewheels Peter, I'm guessing that they H-type will be a perfect fit for you. You're a big guy and the H-Type was created for taller people. :)

[nycewheels]

@rawmark Yeah I saw the H-type but not in person yet. Waiting to get the first one in the shop so we can review it! -Peter

@nycewheels Thanks Peter. I just have boycotted almost everything made on that side of the world, excluding Australia, Japan and New Zealand. Maybe if it was in a different colour I'd be interested in it. I love the Brompton though. They make nice bikes and just came out with a new model that's ideal for you!
