Frame design that combines high rigidity and comfort, supported by DAHON's unique technology

The excellent riding performance of the DAHON Visc Evo is supported by a frame design that combines DAHON's unique lightweight aluminum material "Dalloy Sonus Aluminum" with "Re-Bar Technology" for high rigidity.

It is stronger than typical 6061 aluminum, and the double-butted processing, which varies the wall thickness only where necessary, achieves both lightness and flexibility.

This creates a powerful sense of acceleration that is hard to believe comes from a folding bike.

In the center of a folding bike's frame, there is a "joint" for folding the bike in half. The movable part used for this joint is called the **hinge section**, which acts as the heart of the folding mechanism.

During riding, this hinge section is securely locked, allowing the frame to act like a single pipe, transferring power efficiently into propulsion. Therefore, the rigidity of the hinge section significantly affects the riding comfort of a folding bike.

The Visc Evo adopts "Re-Bar Technology," which supports this hinge section at two points, top and bottom, making it more resistant to twisting and reducing flex during out-of-saddle pedaling compared to conventional designs.

This is a key point that realizes a "solid ride" that is surprising for a folding bike ◎

The front fork features a curved aluminum fork. While maintaining the lightness of the material and the sharp, crisp ride characteristic of aluminum, the design is engineered to absorb minor vibrations from the road surface.

The calm ride, which doesn't "rattle" even on a compact folding bike, is a result of this fork shape.

Authentic parts assembly featuring Tiagra to support performance

The basic specifications adopt SHIMANO Tiagra (2×10 speed), a road bike component.

In addition to the fine gear adjustments essential for long rides, the gear ratio can handle steep climbs effectively. Coupled with the smooth shifting characteristic of Tiagra, you can keep pedaling effortlessly.

This parts selection is especially beneficial for those who want to ride long distances.

Although the crank is not SHIMANO made, it features a highly designed model with matte black as the base and silver machined parts as accents. This enhances the overall appearance and light impression.

The gear ratio features a road-oriented gear configuration with a front "53/39T" and a rear "11-25T". This specification maximizes its potential.

The pedals are foldable without the use of tools 〇

Caliper brakes are also chosen with road bike specifications. You can expect precise speed control.

It features "451 wheels," which are a size larger than typical 20-inch wheels, offering a surprisingly smooth and extended ride for a small-wheeled bike. Its characteristic is reduced deceleration and easy speed maintenance.

The standard tires also roll lightly, making it pleasant to ride from urban areas to longer cycling trips.
