Customer Testimonials
“I purchased this full-sized folding bicycle for two reasons: (1) I’d like a folding bicycle for *storage* purposes (small apartment in nyc) (2) I hate the small sized folding bicycles (aesthetics, dumb internal preferences). While the bicycle is quite light at around 24 lbs, it is possible to take this on a daily commute on a train and such. Folding and unfolding the bike is pretty straightforward and really takes less than a minute. Overall, I’m happy with the bicycle because it suits what I need from it perfectly.”
“Bought this bike about 6 months ago for commuting (including a train journey) and I have been very impressed. You wouldn’t know you are riding a folding bike. It’s light, fast and reliable and very quick to fold/unfold once you are used to the mechanism. I’m cycling away while fellow commuters with Bromptons are still twiddling away with various fittings. Once folded it takes little more floor space than small wheeled foldies. Very happy with the bike and would recommend it to anyone looking for a foldie.”
CLIX Folding System
Clever integration of the patented CLIX System allows the BOSTON to be folded in under 20 seconds without the use of tools. A flip of the CLIX quick release lever on the top tube and the bike folds to a compact size.
Folding Integrated Technology
The BOSTON frame is designed around a patented folding system. The Folding Integrated Technology (F.I.T.) is based around frame construction concepts designed for serious full suspension downhill bikes. Not only does this make folding easier but it makes this bike the strongest folding bike on the market.
Singlespeed or Fixed Gear
The BOSTON is powered by a single-speed drivetrain that centers around a flip-flop hub. This special hub allows riders to change between a fixed-gear and free-wheel setup with little effort. The 42 x 16t drivetrain is low weight and perfectly geared for city riding.
