2011 Dahon Jetstream EX

Hello folks! Greetings from Malaysia..

I picked up my 2011 Jetstream EX today and am very excited because they are the last to be produced as it is no longer available in the 2012 line-up.. Here are some highlights in pictures..



My bike, still in its box - all the way from Taiwan!



The box, opened..



Fixing a small glitch on the collar..



Folded with all the fastening material used in shipping the bike...



My buddy Ruey with the 2011 Jetstream EX.. Just happy to be a part of the Jetstream family!

That is a very sweet bike. would probably handle the rougher trails that you have in Malaysia with ease! also really nice looking disk brakes. basically the only thing you should do is removable pedals.

Very nice - good luck and enjoy! What is the weight limit for these? I would think that at 100KG+ the suspension would be weighed down so to speak and not offer as much travel...

If you don't mind waiting, you can reserve this bike and we'll contact you when we get them in stock.

i wonder how long you have to wait though, to get yours once you ordered.

Great pics. I got the same bike last year and love it. Do you have to adjust the air pressure in the suspension at all?

It has a very rigid ride and the component choices make for a great ride. The stock Schwalbe tyres are fast and versatile. I'd have them on any 20" bike!

Nice bike!

I can clearly see the difference in the disk brakes and rear shock..
