No more interesting bikes as of 2017?
New version of SU18 bike from Belarus. Video explaining all upgrades, it's in Russian though. Designers still tries to find a way to finance mass production.

@Lalato I also like the concept of it. It's clear designer is improving the bike in v2.0. Definitely a change in fold and bike design compared to now dominating Dahon/Tern folds along with Brompton. Always good to see something both unique the practical.
More interesting thing is latch design he used in both rear and front ones which are different and seem to be solid.

I want to buy - Cannondale SuperSix EVO Carbon Disc Ultegra. But did you saw the prices? Less than for $4000 you will not find good bike.

I like the Dahon Speed and frames inspired by it (Fnhon Storm, etc). These are folding bicycle frames made of chromoly, with V-brakes arranged for the 406 rim and enough clearance for 50mm tires. There are versions of these that have disc brakes but, they wouldn't interest me unless they also have V-brake capability.

It's to add strength to the frame, and help prevent fatigue in the joint. But you knew that already, didn't you? Please don't ask me irrelevant questions. If you don't like it, or feel like arguing, go choose someone else.

Did Dahon frames have issues with frame strength or joint fatigue before?

Possibly. This is a preventative measure to add more strength to the beefed up Mariner i7 frame. Dahon is good when it comes to recalls. The ride on this feels about as good as my non-folding bikes. Surprisingly good actually.
