DAHON Introduces D-VELO: Revolutionizing Green Mobility

On November 22, 2024, the Chinese Cycling Industry Conference (CCBI) held in Huadu, Guangzhou, made waves in the realm of green transportation. As the demand for low-carbon transport options grows, DAHON took center stage to showcase its innovative solutions, notably the recently unveiled D-VELO technology. This event, themed "Green Mobility, Smart Transportation," aimed at addressing the mounting global challenges related to climate change.

DAHON, recognized as a leader in folding bicycles, presented its inaugural 700C aluminum frame fork road bike, the Vélodon, integrating the D-VELO Speed Technology. This groundbreaking design not only emphasizes performance but also the company's commitment to environmental sustainability. The announcement was made by the company's founder and CEO, David Hon, hailed as the Father of the Modern Folding Bicycle, who has passionately led DAHON for over four decades.

The Evolution of D-VELO Technology

During the presentation, Dr. Hon elaborated on the origin and key principles behind the D-VELO technology. He explained that it is grounded in a simple theoretical principle linking the rigidity of a bike's frame with the cyclist's speed. By ensuring optimal frame rigidity, D-VELO addresses the common energy loss associated with flexible-framed bicycles. As a result, this technology allows cyclists to achieve higher speeds with less pedaling effort, promoting both efficiency and comfort on the road.

The key components that enable D-VELO’s groundbreaking performance include:

• - Eagle Carbon Frame: Provides a 15% higher rigidity compared to standard carbon frames.
• - DELTECH System: Offers an increase in rigidity ranging from 4% to 23%.
• - Double Curvature Cones: Enhancing frame stability and speed by 14% compared to round tubes.

A New Era for Road Biking

In addition to the D-VELO technology, the Vélodon bike features an array of patented designs such as the Soaring Top Tube and Eagle Slipstream Tube. These innovative additions bolstered the bike's rigidity, durability, and stability while also lightening its overall weight, showcasing a remarkable advancement in road bike design. Similarly, the PC24 Super Carbon Folding Bike, which also harnesses the D-VELO technology, includes lightweight carbon fiber, presenting a sleek and futuristic aesthetic that captivated conference attendees.

DAHON's presentation extended beyond mere product launches. By participating in significant events like the Taiwan Cycle Show and China Cycle Expo, DAHON has garnered global attention for its advancements in cycling technology and sustainable practices. As Dr. Hon stated, "Our commitment to energy conservation and environmental sustainability drives our innovative technology, such as D-VELO."

Future Attractions at CCBI 2024

Continuing its momentum, DAHON planned to display its popular models, classic bicycling designs, and the Sharing 360 patented components from November 23 to 24 during the Two-Wheel Fan Festival at CCBI. This event encourages biking enthusiasts to engage with the latest innovations in the cycling world.

For cycling aficionados and green mobility advocates alike, the introduction of D-VELO marks a thrilling chapter in DAHON's history and the industry's evolution towards sustainable transportation solutions.
