Style is elusive and impossible to quantify. But the Vitesse has it - in spades. The Vitesse is our response to customers who asked us to build the ideal bike for urban commuting. We took our awardwinning Vitesse D7, added an internal gear hub, tried and true components from top component suppliers, and a stealth black paint job. Then we topped it off with mudguards, a rack and even a trouser saving chainguard so you can ride in any weather. Riders wanted.

 

7005 aluminum frame with custom-drawn Sonus tubing, integrated head tube, and Lattice forged hinge

SD3: SRAM 3 speed hub gear

 

 

D5: Custom Sturmey-Archer 5 speed hub gear

FREE TUNE-UP - a £30 value!
Dahon requires all of their bikes to be checked and adjusted by a trained bicycle mechanic before riding.
This activates the warranty and you can then upgrade to a lifetime warranty simply by sending the warranty card in.
Without this service, you'd have to bring your bike down to the local bike shop for a tune up before riding and you'd get charged up to £30.
We offer this service for free, so when you get your bike from us, all you have to do is unfold it and you can start riding.


*Note: These are Dahons standard model specifications. We do our best to ensure that the specifications listed here accurately reflect the exact parts found on our delivered bikes. However, component changes do occur for various reasons and there may be brief delays on site updates. Dahon reserve the right to make component changes without prior notification, which may cause discrepancies with the information listed on the web.
