The Espresso is the bike for urban adventures: to the park on a sunny weekend; down the street for a lazy Sunday brunch; or to the market for some fresh penne, tomatoes, and a bottle of wine. For 2010, the Espresso gets a complete makeover. The patented new Dahon Axis stem lets you fold the Espresso with a minimum of effort and Schwalbe Big Apple tires mean that you go faster, in a lot more comfort. The new Espresso is a shot of caffeine to your cycling lifestyle.

Highlights:

• Upright and comfortable riding position
• Dahon Axis stem adjusts for height and reach so you always have the perfect riding position
• Folds in less than ten seconds – so you can take it anywhere
• Fold it and store it in your trunk so you save the cost and hassle of a car rack
• Mudguard and rack ready
