The Dahon Jack 7 folding bike is the perfect bike for riding to and from work while being portable enough to keep it at your desk. The bike folds quickly into a compact size enabling you to keep your bike with you on the train, the bus or at your workstation. Unlike many of the folding bikes on the market today, the Jack is rugged and you can take it to the next level and drive over just about anything in your path.

The Dahon Jack D7 is a unique 7 speed folding bike that is a full 26″ and folds down to 13.3″ x 36.7″ x 30.8″. This folding bike can be folded down in less than 30 seconds for when you need to quickly catch a bus or train. The weight of the bike is 28 pounds, and may be a little difficult for the ladies to lug around or load in and out of the trunk. That being said, this bike accommodates many different riding styles and can easily become your favorite bicycle ever.

The bike is retailing at around $700, but you are practically getting two bikes in one here. The Jack is capable of being a traditional urban bike, handling the city streets and taking tight turns on a dime. Where this bicycle kicks into another gear is, its ability to handle all the obstacles the road can throw at it with its Schwalbe Big Apple tires. With the Kevlar anti-puncture lining and more suspension you can off-road with no issues.  Like traditional mountain bikes, you will be flying all over the bumps and imperfections of off-road travel at lightning speed. The Jack’s strong frame can withstand the shock and bouncing of the off the beaten path with little difficulty.

Dahon created the Jack D7 in three sizes, small, medium and large. The Jack can also handle riders from five feet to six and a half feet tall. With adjustable handlebars and stem, it can easily handle just about any riders style. The seven speeds allows you the flexibility to ride normal terrain or extreme hills with no difficulty. One of the features many riders love is the hidden bike pump that is actually built into the seat.  This will come in handy on those days when you’ve just left the trail, are heading for the streets and your tires need a little more air.  Despite the bikes light weight it is a very durable folding bike. 

The beefy 7005 aluminum frame gives the bike some additional weight, but it also gives you the flexibility to get a little tough with this bike. It can handle the bumps and imperfections of the road unlike many light weight folding bikes. Durability is the key with the Jack, it feels like a strong bike as well as looks like one too. You would expect this rugged bike to be uncomfortable as a trade off of the strength, but you will be surprised how comfortable this bicycle is. Although the bike can handle all terrains, it comes with a price. The tires are much bigger, and that means when you fold it down it is not as small as many compact folding bikes. It is a little heavy to carry around, but its a small price to pay since you are getting a very durable bike that will last for many years to come.

The Dahon Curve D3 folding bike is a 3 speed bicycle that is perfect for off road or a commute to work in town. The Curve D3 is a smaller folding bike, that allows you the ability to accelerate much faster than it’s larger counterparts, however the smaller wheels do take some getting used to because the larger tires do absorb a lot of the roads imperfections. It is a trade off that is not that big of a deal when you see all the benefits of the Dahon Curve. 

The Curve D3 has three speeds, which is perfect for urban riding or short distances. If you are using the bike to commute to work or for a trip to the park, you will appreciate the additional features that this folding bike has to make the trip more of a pleasure for the rider. The Curve D3 is equipped with a standard bike rack, for your groceries, suitcase or gym bag. If you run into any trouble on your trek, the bike has a built in bike pump to get you back on the road quickly.

I can not say enough about the ease in folding this particular bike. The folding time is under 15 seconds, and when the bike is completely folded it will fit in an 13.3″ x 26.1″ x 25″ space, small enough to fit in a trunk, under your desk or along your seat on the train or bus. The reviews on this bike have made this one of Dahon’s most popular folding bike. You can get the Curve D3 is one of three appealing colors; blush pink, cloud white and fire red.

Dahon has incorporated their patented V-Clamp frame hinge design to give the rider a strong, durable, and easy to operate bicycle. The Curve D3 uses Schwalbe Big Apple tires, to give you a comfortable ride. Whether you are short or tall, the Dahon technology allows the rider to adjust the bike to fit your height. My favorite thing about the Curve D3 is it features a body with an ergonomically curved design that makes it so simple to carry. You can tell once you lift the bike up, that it is made sturdy, and will be able to handle whatever the road has to offer.

The most popular feature of the bike according to the reviews, is the internalized 3-level gear. Because the gear is enclosed, the gear is unlikely to come off when storing. The gear is also weatherproof and will last longer not being exposed to the elements. The bike also has a bipedal stand, allowing you to do any maintenance effortlessly, while the bike is upright and the rear tire elevated to allow the wheel to spin.

I really love this bike, but a word of warning, the Curve is an urban utility bike. This Dahin Curve D3 is definitely meant more for the sidewalk than the road. That being said, this bike packs a lot into its small frame. With the enclosed gear, and the bike rack, tire pump and hinge design, you will be getting a very durable folding bike that provide years of riding pleasure in the city. The bike can be stored almost anywhere, and because it can be snapped together in seconds, you could go from road, to bus, to road, to work with little or no interruptions.
