just recently, this nova entered the indonesian market.
and just last night I had a chance to test ride a friend's freshly bought nova.
the ride is nice, it came with rather slim tires, so may be it is targeted to run fast on asphalt.
the handlepost hinge, I believe is a more simpler (maybe not fast action) but has the advantage of being stiffer than older style dahon's, that is put on most DLT's
I am sure this bike is really a big contender, challenger, to our local market, where it has already been filled with other Dahon licenced bikes....or even dahon eco, in the 200-300 dollar range.

what I like best is the provision of the front derailer hanger...
also the orange colour, very distinctive....
