Dahon Mu Uno

It's Official! Dahon has released an impressive line up of folding bike models for 2009.

Good news first or bad news?

Bad...? Alright, lets get it over with quick and get to the good stuff! Many people will be sad to hear that the Speed Pro, Speed TR and CADENZA 8 will be discontinued in the UK.

Now how about the good stuff, Dahon has announced that for 2009 that they'll have a range of 38 folding bikes total with 4 new models, the affordable Mμ Uno, the stylish Mμ EX, a new Vitesse P18 and a slick looking Cadenza Solo with disk brakes.

Those with plenty of cash to spend can roll in the new year with Dahon's lightest folding bike to date the Mμ XXV but if you're a little strapped for cash then check out the more affordable Mμ Uno.

It's a simple single speed folding bike with no visable cables and a hidden Zorin PostPump, Did I mention that it will only set you back €449 Euros or about $657 US Dollars and still looks great.

Targeting the high end rider the stylish Mμ EX should roll in and outa stores quicker than you can say "Twenty speeds!" Yup that's right the Mμ EX harnesses the shifting power of the SRAM Red drive train coupled to one of Dahon's lightest frames. Light and fast this folder is a total dream to ride and would make the perfect Christmas present for some lucky bastard. Expect to pay about €1,999 Euros or $2,924 US Dollars.

And of course Dahon hasn't let us down as they have also added a few nice extras to all the bikes such as cleaner cable routing, better stem height and adjustment for folding, grease ports on hinges, better handle bar catches and some sweet looking glow in the dark graphics.

“With some of the highest prices ever for gasoline, people are flocking to public transportation and seeking alternate forms of transportation in greater numbers than ever,” stated Joshua Hon, Dahon vice president.

This is part of the reason why Dahon's sales are growing by an average of 20-30 percent, per year.

What's your dream Christmas present...?
