The fold is straightforward and while it doesn&#8217;t end up as compact as some folders because of the slightly larger wheels, they do help it roll along nicely without being as affected by potholes.&#8221;<br \/>\n-road.cc<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"dnd-widget-wrapper context-full type-image\"><\/div>\n<p>The vertical folding mechanism of the QIX offers quick, easy folding, allowing riders to fold their bike small enough to fit in a car trunk or under a desk in seconds. The included rear rack with integrated wheel make the QIX a breeze to maneuver in the folded position. Once unfolded the QIX offers a riding experience second to none. The QIX sports an aluminum frame, lightweight 20&#8243; wheels, an 8-speed rear derailleur, and weighs in at a hair over 26 pounds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11769\" src=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/dahon-qix-d8-folded.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"764\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/dahon-qix-d8-folded.jpg 764w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/dahon-qix-d8-folded-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/dahon-qix-d8-folded-397x300.jpg 397w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 764px) 100vw, 764px\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The parts are all good quality, and it&#8217;s nice to see a rack and mudguards included; they make it a much more practical\u00a0round-town proposition.&#8221;<br \/>\n-Road.cc<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Head to your local <a href=\"\/\/www.livetoplaysports.com\/find-a-dealer\/\">Live to Play Sports dealer<\/a> and check out the <a href=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/en\/catalog\/?product_details=111870-1g\">Dahon QIX<\/a>, and other Dahon folding bikes for yourself!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With its innovative vertical fold technology and superior ride quality the new Dahon QIX is sure to be a hit with riders everywhere.
