Regular Senior Member 1,324 posts Joined: Dec 2010	QUOTE(gck @ May 21 2019, 02:19 PM) I absolutely love the K1, if not mistaken is below 11kg which is quite ok weight for the money and spec. would this be good choice within my budget? saw in BBS there also dahon speed d8, 1.8k.. should i go with that one? plan to use in hill road as well.. 1) xds evo k1 2) java pro 4 3) dahon speed d8 (single chairing) 4) java ira (but this one stretch bajet) 4) dahon boardwalk (my friend recommend, touring spec but single chairing?)

How much is the Java Ira by the way? 1.9k but the frame is chromoly.. i have not bought yet.. maybe after raya and still gathering info.. anyone have experience with dahon mariner d8?

Regular Senior Member 1,324 posts Joined: Dec 2010	QUOTE(azamunekurone @ Sep 3 2019, 08:47 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « dont forget, the java ira also chromoly frame with carbon fork. dahon speed TR this is the reason and my dream bike last time. u can read the review here https://bicycletouringpro.com/dahon-speed-t...bicycle-review/ the dahon speed TR is touring spec folding bike. i know this model had discontinued, but to make it possible,i build nearly the same spec like this. and this is another reason why i choose dahon speed over the boadwalk. i never know boadwalk had touring spec or touring edition. only i saw people make over it like touring spec. besides, the boadwalk frame looks fragile for hardcore touring. dont get me wrong, boadwalk also a good bike, classic feel. last time it was not so hot here in malaysia, only one or two year back this model popular made by few of my friend maybe bcoz of the JDM model. if i had it, i will make it speed demon makeup equip with 451 wheels and so on. i have both dahon speed d18 and tern verge p9.. after few test ride on both bike, i would say dahon speed is my favourite.. verge is super good at handling, very firm and sturdy.. but when u reach 20kmh, u need more effort to go further.. unlike dahon, u can feel the speed momentum mean you can do more with less effort, maybe due to chromoly frame.. dahon is my choice.. hehe

Luckily a passer by Car gave the dogs a good Horn, then they stopped chasing after me ... phew.. cold sweats encountered once when cycling in rimbayu housing area at night.. 2 guards dog chasing us.. fuh pedal full speed!

Regular Senior Member 1,324 posts Joined: Dec 2010	QUOTE(Bumblebee2000 @ Dec 21 2019, 12:41 AM) Hi, I’m a total newbie here and have been reading through posts from V1 to V6 and been doing research for past few months. I’m coming to a decision point of getting either a Dahon Speed D18 (RM2500) or Dahon Archer P18 (domestic China) (RM2300). I can’t find much information on Archer P18 but it’s a Tiagra 9 Speed + rear Derailleur but with ProWheel Hollow Crankset and Microshift Front derailleur. Is it a worthy buy compared to Speed D18 which comes with Sora components? Needs some expert opinion here. Thank you very much in advance. dahon speed d18 is my favorite FB..

Regular Senior Member 1,324 posts Joined: Dec 2010	QUOTE(Bumblebee2000 @ Dec 21 2019, 04:56 PM) I like Speed too. Ask heard Archer is the same as Speed. Just that it’s called a different name in China. So, now in dilemma on whether to get a D18 or P18. I read that D is deluxe and P is Performance so I’m guessing P18 is better but I think will also need to look at the components to know. d18 is using full shimano sora on a 406 wheelset while p18 is mix microshift and tiagra on a 451 wheelset.. may due to larger wheel, p18 is more to performance..
