Carbon fibre Folding Bike
The ORIBIKE is a carbon fibre folding bike built around a design that prioritises weight and efficiency. The frame, handlebars, headset, cranks and seatpost are all carbon fibre, which keeps the overall weight remarkably low. The 20-inch wheels and centre-pull caliper brakes make for a compact, straightforward setup suited to urban riding and commuting. Derailleur gears give you range across different terrain without the maintenance demands of internal hub systems.
What sets this folding bike apart is the engineering behind it. ORIBIKE was designed by Jon Whyte, a former British F1 engineer, which shows in the attention paid to materials and component selection. The carbon construction means you're not wrestling with a heavy folder when you need to carry it up stairs, onto a train, or store it in a tight space. The lightness also translates to responsive handling once you're riding, with the bike feeling quick and direct through corners and transitions.
These are hand-built bikes rather than mass-produced folders, which is reflected in the price point. Each one is made to order and available for collection only from Mayfair. If you're after a premium folding bike that genuinely prioritises weight and engineering quality over keeping costs down, and you don't mind paying accordingly, the ORIBIKE delivers on both counts.
