Their bikes are made to last with details like
stainless steel spokes, sealed hubs and bearings, stainless steel frame
latches, chromeplastic fenders that will never rust, and anodized finishes
on aluminum components are found on every one of our bikes, even the
most economic models.
Bikes for Everybody
They want to make folding bicycles accessible
to anyone, anywhere in the world, who wants one and that means making
their bikes affordable. So even though they enjoy designing high-end
bikes and will continue to expand the high end of our line, they will
always make “cheap” bikes that are packed with value so
that we can make a real impact on society.
Light is Right
Sure, there are lots of folding bicycles on the market, but how many
of them are truly portable? A bicycle isn't portable if it's too heavy
to lift into your car or carry across a subway station. Following
are some of the technologies we use to build some of the world's lightest
folding bicycles:
- Premium Frame Materials - Everything starts with the frame
and that's why we choose the best materials for our frames.
- Frame Design - Frame design can be even more important than
frame material in building a light frame. A good frame is strong and
light.
- Frame Details - Butted tubing, CNC machined head tubes, forged
hinges and drop-outs
- Super-Oversize Seat Posts - They use custom 34mm seat posts
on all of their compact bikes. The larger diameter tubing lets them
use thinner tubing while maintaining strength.
