"Dahon is a specialist US company with a large range of folding bikes in different wheel sizes. Their models range from commuters to mountain and touring bikes. The Vitesse D7 has an aluminum frame and is a fast and smooth ride, making it great for urban commuting. The generic brakes were fine, but the generic gears were a bit noisy In low gear. Overall it was fun to ride and is good value for money.” (rideOn june-july 2008)
