We've always considered the Helios P8 our reference bike - an almost perfect blend of excellent riding performance, light weight, folding convenience, good looks, and reasonable price. It's a versatile bike that can adapt to almost any type of riding. We were pretty sure that the 2003 version was about as good as it could get. Little did we know how wrong we were. The 2004 Helios P8 has been totally upgraded, starting with the Lattice forged frame hinge and forged drop outs (w/ replaceable derailleur hanger), Schwalbe Marathon Slick tires, Truvativ cranks, and Formula QR hubs. In total, the Helios P8 incorporates over 20 upgrades and improvements. Take it for a test ride and see for yourself why many people consider the Helios P8 possibly the best all around folding bike on the market.

"Greetings to all at Dahon, just a quick email to say my Helios is superb! I've had it for over 5 weeks now and every trip out is superb! The quality of the ride is outstanding! Far superior to my mountain bike! Some of the speeds I've got up to on the flats have amazed me! Even the local hills have been tackled with ease! I am also in my spare time a ranger on part of the UK (United Kingdom) national cycle network!...The Helios is therefore being put to very good use! Once again..thanks for a top bike!"
