I owned 2 Dahons before the local dealer, and in the end Dahon themselves really got beyond rude with me,another story. Perhaps if id known of Thor at the time but again another story.
Anyway Dahons got what i call flex,Brompton dont even come close to that. Even with the stem riser i have little if any flex. And my bars are only prolly about 1" lower than M-Type with the riser installed.
some bromptom stems flex more than others, likewise dahons. luck and wear are other possible factors in addition to bar selection.
