Dahon Ios XL (2011)

We designed the Ios XL to be the ultimate urban bicycle. We included everything an urban cyclist could want: super fast and compact folding, best in class Shimano Alfine hub, hydraulic disc brakes, dynamo lighting and fastrolling, puncture resistant tires. Then we added a bit more. Beautiful hydroformed frame tubes and an adjustable Dahon Andros stem. To top things off, we designed and equipped the Ios with the Dahon Valo light and the BioLogic ReeCharge, which stores energy from the dynamo hub and charges your iPhone or iPod while you ride. Wow!
Technology Highlights:
Big bike performance, small bike portability – when folded, the Ios is only slightly larger than Dahon’s super compact 20” wheel folders
Hydroformed frame tubing is strong, light, and beautiful
The BioLogic ReeCharge battery captures energy from the dynamo hub and charges your phone, iPod or GPS; it detaches in seconds from the bike so you can store it in your bag and have instant recharge power whenever you need it
The quick release Andros stem offers 85 mm of adjustment in 270 degrees so every rider can find the perfect fit
The Dahon Valo light features a 10 lux LED bulb, stand light, and integrates perfectly with the Andros stem
Avid Juicy hydraulic disc brakes give ultimate braking power in all conditions
