Birdy Speed
Constructed with lightweight components from the racing and mountain bike worlds, the Birdy speed is the benchmark model when it comes to lightweight folding bikes.
Lightweight folding tyres, ultra-light Big Foot cranks from Tune and a Shimano Ultegra transmission with special ‘faster’ ratios make the Birdy speed world record-capable. This top lightweight weighs in at a mere 10.3 kg. The high-quality components, including Ultagra transmission, Filante saddle and Avid V-brakes lend the Birdy speed its thoroughbred racer look.

Strida inventor Mark Sander alerts us that Pacific Cycles, a Taiwanese company that also produces Airnimal and Birdy frames, will build Mark’s full-size folder, the Swivel-Head (above). Not only it folds quickly and compact, but, like the Strida, you can also wheel it folded. On the other size spectrum, Pacific also makes the Carry-me, an 8″-wheel micro-bike that rides astonishingly well. We will stock it in a few weeks.
