- Is the Dahon SUV D6 good for gravel and rough roads?
- Yes. Its 20-inch wheels and wider tires handle gravel and broken pavement better than most small-wheel city folders. It is not a mountain bike, so keep to light trails.
- How heavy is it to carry?
- It weighs about 33 lb, so it is manageable for short lifts but tiring up stairs or onto busy trains. Plan for rolling it when folded where possible.
- Does it have enough gears for hills?
- The 6-speed drivetrain covers moderate hills and headwinds, especially when loaded. Steep climbs will still be work on a bike this heavy.
- How does it compare with a Brompton or lighter Dahon folder?
- It is heavier and folds bulkier than a Brompton, but it rides more stably on rough surfaces and costs far less. Lighter Dahon singlespeeds are easier to carry but less versatile.
- What should I check before riding?
- Check the hinge latches, tire pressure and brake adjustment, and keep the steel fork and rear triangle dry and oiled to prevent rust.
- Is it suitable for a daily commute?
- Yes for short to medium commutes on mixed surfaces. If you face many stairs or crowded trains, a lighter folder may suit you better.
- Where is the Dahon Suv D6 20" 2020 cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $599.00, as of our latest check.
