Frame
6061 T6 aluminium frame—lightweight, dynamic and sturdy.
The very simple, patented lateral folding system means it takes up very little space: at home, at the office, in the boot of a car or in a camper... you'll forget your bike is even there.
Once folded, the size of the bike is reduced by two thirds, and a locking system on the frame and stem keep the bike folded and make it easy to move and transport.
