The Dahon Curl is a real innovative folding bike.

Its folding is inspired from the Brompton but unlike Brompton clones its improved and unlike Brompton clones its not a stupid copy of the Brompton transmission.

It folds more compact than any bifold and is even slightly smaller than the Brompton.

Innovation requires investments that must be covered by the price of the bike.

So, its normal that its more expensive than classic bifold.

But its a pity that there is no mounting for any kind of front bag (if I remember well, some previous iterations of the Curl had mounting points for a Brompton front block ?).
