The Curve SL is Dahon’s top of the line super-light compact commuter bike. As would be expected it folds in seconds, weighs next to nothing, and is small enough to fit into a shopping bag when folded. But where it really shines is how well it rides. The BioLogic II frame geometry is reassuringly stable. A Shimano Capreo 9-speed drive train provides all the gears needed for grueling commutes. Designed for the daily commuter who really wants to move, the Curve SL delivers surprising speed in a small package.
