This folding bike integrates a sophisticated hinge mechanism to enable quick, tool-free compact folding for multi-modal transport.
Design and Construction
Constructed with a lightweight aluminium frame, the Mu XL Sport employs Dahon's signature small wheel geometry.

Smaller 20-inch wheels contribute to the bicycle's nimble handling, enabling quick acceleration and responsive manoeuvring through congested city environments. The frame geometry positions the rider in an upright posture, enhancing visibility and comfort during commuter journeys.
Intended Use
This folding bicycle is engineered for urban commuters requiring a compact bicycle that transitions seamlessly between cycling, public transport, and office or home storage. The specification supports regular short to medium-distance rides across paved and well-maintained surfaces.
