Boardwalk

A2B Magazine
United Kingdom

"...it's a comfortable and rideable machine, reeling off tens of miles with deceptive ease...the bike feels light and agile on the road... The Boardwalk abounds with small but effective touches...Sometimes everything comes together just so, and the Boardwalk is one of those machines."

Product Multi-Test: Folding Bikes for under £400

• 1st place - Dahon Speed D6
  A value package, with a chrome molybdenum steel frame, stylish oval cross-beam, handy side stand and rear rack. With 20-inch wheels, it gave a stable ride and the V-style brakes felt safe. Both testers liked the ride, especially the six-speed Shimano gears and security offered by larger tyres. The Speed 6 may not suit all sizes but it's light and the price is right.
• 2nd place - Philips Boardwalk (Dahon Boardwalk)
• 3rd place - Dahon Piccolo
