“The secret behind the championship of Dahon P18 Ultra lies in our Dahon-V technology suite,” explains Dr. David Hon, CEO of Dahon. “It is a set of bicycle design and testing technologies and methods that effectively address structural shortcomings found in most bikes. And it also boosts the speed of all types of bikes. It features patented technologies like Deltech cable and Super Downtube that enable folding bikes to achieve performance levels comparable to that of road bikes for the first time.”
From daily commuting to casual racing
Present on the Dahon P18, the pioneering “one-bike, dual-mode” design allows riders to fold and carry a bike easily onto subways or buses. And then they can switch to a road bike structure with the drop-bar after unfolding. This way, the design is perfectly addressing urban cyclists’ desire for both efficiency and style. “Currently, our company’s folding bikes equipped with this technology are in high demand. They are reflecting the market's strong desire for innovative products, above and beyond just a bike,” adds Dr. Hon.

Where speed meets sustainability
“Guided by the “dual-carbon” goals, we are evolving from a manufacturer into a technology enabler,” emphasises Dr. Hon. “Through our “Sharing 360” patent licensing program, we form strategic alliances with industry leaders such as Golden Wheel Group and Shengyang (SYB), sharing proprietary technologies to raise industry standards.”
Speed and innovation

From Magellan’s 37-month circumnavigation to the Wright brothers’ invention of the first flight for mankind, humanity’s pursuit of speed has always been about expanding the boundaries of freedom.
Dahon-V embodies that same spirit for the modern age. It is recalibrating mechanics using steel cables and algorithms, redefining the possibilities of folding and racing, and safeguarding sustainability with lightweight and smart design.
Towards a greener tomorrow
Dr. Hon concludes: “At this moment, our company is racing forward at “Dahon-V” speed into a greener tomorrow. As our gears turn to the rhythm of innovation, a new chapter of efficiency, freedom, and sustainability is being written. Speed has no limits, and we are writing a new definition to unfold a new chapter of bike tech!”
