RENAULT PLATINUM LIGHT8 | An ultralight folding bike weighing approximately 8.8 kg
So light, you'll want to take it everywhere. A folding bike that lets you enjoy the city and your travels with ease.
The RENAULT PLATINUM LIGHT8 is an ultralight folding bike that achieves a weight of approximately 8.8 kg while equipped with 16-inch wheels and a 7-speed external derailleur.
By combining an aluminum frame with lightweight components, it significantly reduces the burden of carrying the bike or using it for "rinko" (folding and carrying on public transport). This lightness is a significant advantage in situations unique to folding bikes, such as climbing station stairs, loading it into a car, or storing it at home.
Despite its compact body, it features a 52T chainring and an 11-28T 7-speed drivetrain, making it comfortable for everything from city commuting to gentle inclines. This bike offers both nimble acceleration and easy handling, making it a perfect companion for daily life and travel.
The folding mechanism is simple and easy to use, allowing for smooth storage and portability. It's recommended not only as a secondary bike but also for anyone who wants to make their daily commute more flexible.

The main appeal of the PLATINUM LIGHT8 is undoubtedly its lightness. Opportunities to lift a folding bike arise more often than one might expect, so its weight of approximately 8.8 kg significantly impacts daily usability.
Moreover, despite being a 16-inch bike, it has well-configured gear ratios, making it surprisingly quick. It performs well enough to be enjoyed for local shopping, commuting, or even as a companion for "rinko" trips to explore new destinations.
With a good balance of portability, compactness, and riding performance, it's also recommended as a first folding bike. By making it easy to take out, it expands the enjoyment of cycling itself.
