Perpetual innovation and reinvention are the guiding principles here at Dahon. It starts at the top with Dr. David Hon, our founder and president, and a former senior physicist at Hughes Aircraft. With a team of forty dedicated research and development engineers churning out 10 patents each and every year, we have one of the largest and most accomplished research and development teams in the bicycle industry. Simpler, lighter, faster, stronger: these are our unchanging design objectives and we are the best at what we do - designing folding bicycles. But when somebody else does something better than us, we aren't shy about collaborating with them and adapting their technology to our bicycles. Our 2004 bikes are packed with new, patented, and exclusive technologies. Read about them below.
