We have a demo Birdy in stock, and can order new inventory on request.
Originally designed by the German brand Riese and Müller, the Birdy is a bike with serious engineering pedigree. The Birdy fits a niche that will appeal to many riders - it's a folding bike that puts ride quality at the forefront. Very few bikes that ride this well can also fold into such a compact shape for transport or storage.
The Birdy is a great match for riders who regularly tackle long rides or rough terrain, but are still looking for the convenience of a folding bike. Not only does the full suspension soften the ride, but it improves handling and traction over uneven terrain. One of the reasons for the bike's responsive feel is the stiff aluminum frame that omits a top tube hinge, keeping frame flex to a minimum. In addition to being functional, the Birdy's design is notably sleek and modern. When compared with other folding bike options, the Birdy stakes its claim as the compact folder that maintains a refined ride quality.
This Birdy Standard comes with a 9-speed derailleur, mechanical disc brakes, and 18"x 1.5" semi-slick tires. It's a one size fits most frame, with an adjustable stem that lets rider choose their preferred handlebar height. Riders between 4'7" and 6'4" should find that they fit comfortably. A rarity among folding bikes, the Birdy can be outfitted with robust front and rear racks compatible with small panniers. If you're looking to tour with a folding bike, the carrying capability of the Birdy is much appreciated.
