Dahon Matrix fold up bike - Folding Bikes 4U

The Dahon Matrix represents a sophisticated folding bicycle engineered for urban commuters seeking a compact folding bike solution with versatile transportation capabilities. Designed around a refined small wheel geometry, this bicycle integrates a practical hinge mechanism for seamless multi-modal transit.

Design and Construction

Frame construction prioritises structural integrity and weight efficiency, with an aluminium mainframe that supports rider stability while minimising overall weight. The mid-frame folding mechanism enables rapid transformation between riding and compact storage configurations, supporting seamless transitions between cycling and public transport environments.

Components and Specification

The drivetrain configuration provides flexible gearing for variable urban terrain, enabling smooth acceleration and consistent cadence across different gradients. Wheel dimensions and geometry are optimised for responsive handling in congested city environments, with tyre clearance supporting predictable performance across mixed surface conditions.

Ride Characteristics

Handling characteristics emphasise manoeuvrability and quick directional changes, with the compact frame geometry supporting nimble navigation through urban infrastructure. The riding position balances comfort and visibility, reducing rider fatigue during routine commutes and supporting confident interaction with surrounding traffic.

Intended Use

This folding bicycle addresses the needs of urban cyclists requiring a compact, adaptable transport solution. The specification supports regular commuting, short to medium-distance urban rides, and scenarios demanding efficient, portable bicycle transport.
