DAHON Rebrands D-VELO to DAHON-V
In a bold move that underscores its commitment to innovation, DAHON, a global leader in folding bicycles, has announced the renaming of its D-VELO technology to DAHON-V. The decision marks a significant milestone after over a year of global exhibitions, media coverage, and substantial recognition within the cycling industry. The new designation, with the 'V' representing 'Victory', captures the essence of DAHON's technological evolution and triumph in the world of bicycles.
Origin and Innovations
The DAHON-V technology stems from a critical reassessment of traditional bicycle frame designs. This reevaluation has led to the development of new technologies and testing methods aimed at enhancing the speed and performance of both folding and racing bicycles. Key innovations include the introduction of DELTECH and Super Down Tube, which substantially increase frame stiffness—addressing a common weakness found in single-tube folding frames. The result is a safe, robust, and high-performance cycling experience that promises longevity.
DAHON leveraged its principles to refine road bike structures as well. This optimization minimizes performance losses while maximizing efficiency, rigidity, and handling.
Product Highlights
At the recent EUROBIKE 2025 event in Frankfurt, DAHON unveiled an impressive lineup of innovative products that have garnered widespread attention, particularly through its 'DAHON 2.0' campaign. The featured products highlight the capabilities of DAHON-V technology, promising enhanced performance across their entire product range. Among the standout offerings are:
- - Télodon C8 AXS: A foldable carbon road bike that masterfully combines portability with high-speed performance. It features an internal V-Lock system and superior frame stiffness.
- - Vélodon C8 Di2: DAHON's first full-carbon racing bike, equipped with DAHON-V technology, including an electronic SRAM shifting system and Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH), designed for pure speed.
Major cycling media outlets like Global Cycling Network (GCN) and BikeRadar were present and reported extensively on these product launches, solidifying DAHON's presence in the competitive bicycle market.
Future Outlook
DAHON's journey does not stop here. The company is committed to further advancing the DAHON-V technology through:
- - Development of advanced materials: This includes carbon composites and high-performance alloys.
- - Smart integration: DAHON plans to incorporate adaptive e-bike systems that will enhance user experience.
- - Ecosystem building: Aiming for standardization of DAHON-V technology across various categories.
Through strategic partnerships with research institutions and industry leaders, DAHON is determined to shape the future of cycling. They are paving the way for lighter, faster, and smarter mobility solutions for cyclists globally.
