Overview
A 20 inch wheel folding bike with a 6-speed derailleur, V-brakes and a hi-ten steel frame that folds in under 10 seconds, weighing 25.7 pounds and folding down to about 31.5 by 13.6 by 26 inches.
Dahon is a long-running folding-bike maker, and the attached reviews largely describe the brand's folding mechanism and build quality on other Dahon models rather than this specific D6, so treat the points below as characteristic of the line rather than proof for this exact bike. Reviewers consistently describe fast unfolding, frames that felt solid once assembled, and stock seats that most people ended up replacing. Rated for riders from about 4 feet 9 inches to 6 feet 2 inches and up to 230 pounds.
- Folds in under 10 seconds
- 25.7 lbs, folds to about 31.5 x 13.6 x 26 in
- 6-speed derailleur with V-brakes
- Fits riders about 4 feet 9 inches to 6 feet 2 inches, up to 230 lbs
Who it's for
Commuters or travelers who need a bike that folds small enough for a train, boat, RV bunk or car trunk, and who can handle minor first-assembly quirks like threading on pedals. Not the choice for long-distance touring, where a full-size bike rides better over many hours.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers of Dahon folding bikes consistently describe a fold that becomes quick and intuitive after the first attempt, solid build quality that held up to travel and outdoor storage, and stock seats most riders ended up replacing for comfort. A few mentioned a small safety knob at the main fold hinge that can break if pulled in the wrong direction, so it's worth learning the correct unfold motion early.

Performance notes
The V-brake and 6-speed derailleur cover commuting terrain including moderate hills, and the hi-ten steel frame is built to fold in under 10 seconds once you know the sequence. Riders describe the fold as intuitive after the first try but note a small safety knob near the main fold hinge that can break if pulled the wrong direction.
