Airnimal has expanded the options available on the Joey, the foldable fast commuter that can be easily taken out for a 100k week-end ride.

There are now four models:

Here is a review in RoadCycling UK, from whence the photograph:

For the commuter with a space premium at home [the Joey] will vanish into a cupboard in the same way that a Brompton would. Or if you have a train journey with a long ride either end, this is the perfect bike – it’s faster and more comfortable than a Brompton and more foldable (easier anyway) than a Birdy. But for it’s intended user, the frequent flyer, this bike is a must-have – just watch the luggage allowance as it’s easy to overload the case and take it over 23kgs.

Where Brompton get it right so do Airnimal. They both work. They fold quickly and easily and there’s no need for loads of size options as they fit most sizes of rider. Where Mezzo get it right, so do Airnimal too – they are both great to ride. Brompton will always be hard to beat for the daily commuter who needs flexibility, but the Joey will appeal to the more regular cyclist as they are a better riding bike first and foremost – so the fact that it doesn’t fold as well as the Brompton, won’t bother the rider who chooses it.

Like the Mezzo the Joey has a quality aluminium frame that is super-sturdy and lighter than most of Brompton’s range, the only area I think the Joey could improve on is the finish – the Mezzo’s anodised parts and sleek matt finish is far classier – which appeals to the ‘Graphic-designer-around-London’ type who is going to like that attention to detail.
