Surely a Dahon MU SL has to be a contender?
http://www.dahon.com/us/musl.htm

I bought mine last month and @ 19.4lbs / 8.7kg it is a good 10lbs lighter than my other folder. I’m VERY pleased with this Dahon, it is fast and I was able to keep pace with a guy on a race/road bike.

Another contender may be the even lighter MU XXV

or how about the Speed Pro TT http://www.dahon.com/us/speedprott.htm
It is heaver than either of MU’s though

Brompton may have the compact fold but they can’t compete in terms of speed, components or the light weight of the MU SL
