Hi All, I'm looking for a folder that will suit my needs and am seriously thinking about tthe Airnimal White Rhino.

Only thing I'm not sure about is its size when folded, and I can't find that anywhere. Can anyone advise?

Thanks in advance!

Hope this helps, visit the Airnimal site (link in my A to Z) when you roll the cursor over a model other options appear as a drop out.

Good luck!

Are your needs serious offroading? If your bike is for commuting, leisure or the odd gravely dusty track the White Rhino might be overkill (unless of course you aren't bothered by the cost..! :))
It looks like a very fun bike (I've lusted after one myself ) but it's quite a spec if you aren't going to do some downhill flying.

For something a little less costly but still with dual suspension and a fair amount of off-paved-road ability (with the right tyres of course) you might want to look at the Dahon Jetstream P8 (http://www.dahon.com/jetstreamp8.htm)

They have a new range out for 2006 so you might even get a bargain!
Or you could wait for the 2006 model out soon -

I'm sure Rafael will expound on the virtues of the Downtube FS VIII in a post beneath this one!
