Added on June 29, 2011, 2:08 pmhere is a review of dahon silvertip from sg togoparts.com

http://www.togoparts.com/articles/article.php?artid=1689

one noticeable spec difference is the dash p18 has a lower gear inches at 26"
where as the silvertip has 31".

not sure whether it will make a big difference in climbing hills....

Hi Im from singapore , I got mine here at a bad price, will rather get a dash 18 over the silvertip cause of the better pricing in malaysia.

Well from me wanting to get another mid town dahon , it show how much I love this series. Been riding the silvertip for 1 month plus , 1000++ km and survived three accidents(2 slides and 1 180 flip) and the bike is still going strong, no strange noise or damage part.(One tough folder laugh.gif ). The lockjaw hinge is well design , down side is the need to use allen key to fold.

This bike love to go fast, been able to hit abt 35 - 40 km/m on road , average comfortable cruising speed is abt 30km/h.

Not sure if the smaller gearing will make a diff in hill climbing, but the engine makes all the diff. biggrin.gif

Test ride both bike before deciding. I insisted on testing the bike ride quality before I pull the trigger on the dahon. Dahon resell value is better so its easier to resell incase you dun like the ride.
