I've really become fond of Dahon bikes. I'd love to go touring on one. Has anyone had any experience with the new Dahon Smooth Hound? It looks like a potentially excellent tourer, but it's impossible to test ride it anywhere. I wonder if it can fold to a size that can fit in a suitcase (seems bigger than most Dahons)

Le Dahon Metro me parait un bon choix.
J'aime sa géométrie.

J'intende achete le Dahon Boardwalk ou Metro. Ils sont 12kg, mais 35000 - 45000 Yen.
Votre video est tres bon.
Hope that use of French was not too awful.

dahons are great for city commuting where you want the bike with you or to take it on a train. using them for long trips or off road is just missing the point of these . a hard tail mtb is what you need for your kind of use it will be easier safer and faster and it wouldn't brake your bike. that's how i see it.

and where will it be?
Great video. Can I ask how you reduced the weight to under 10kgs for each bike?
Thanks

Dahon Helios P9 : 11 kg (with Son lighting system)
Dahon Helios SL : 8,7 Kg (wheels are very, very light)
you can replace somme accessories with carbone fiber items but the weight gain will be small.

Hey! Nice work! :) I just got my Speed D7. I Have one question: What tires are you using? Do you think I'll be able to ride the bike at dirt roads with the sleek one that comes with the bike? Thanks!

Light weight and good grips for offroads.
The sleek one are for slow ride on dirty roads ;-)
