Overview
The Kabon folding bike uses a Toray T800 carbon fiber frame and wheelset to bring a 20 inch folding bike down to 19.7 lbs, aimed at commuters who need to carry the bike onto trains or buses or store it in small spaces.
Most folding bikes at this size use steel or aluminum frames, so the carbon fiber construction here is the differentiator, trading typical folding bike weight for a lighter, pricier build. The Shimano Altus M2000 9 speed drivetrain and Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes are components usually found on higher tier bikes rather than budget folders.

Who it's for
Commuters who fold and carry their bike regularly and want to minimize weight, as well as riders comparing full-size carbon commuters against steel folding bikes and wanting both light weight and portability.
What buyers say
