Whether accelerating on a flat or tackling an incline, the 105 drivetrain provides the smooth, reliable ride needed for road cycling and urban performance.



Full-Suspension for Maximum Control

Many folding bikes sacrifice comfort to reduce weight, but the Birdy R prioritizes full suspension. Its advanced suspension system is designed to absorb shocks without compromising speed, allowing you to maintain high velocity even on uneven city streets. This full-suspension setup keeps the bike stable and responsive, giving riders the confidence to handle high speeds with precision.


Experience Speed with Style
