birdy is a full sus foldie, wouldnt the sus make it lose efficiency?
52T front, capreo hub with 9T smallest.
My friend is a strong rider. No problem.

Unless i get a faster bike. My mtb very slow. Usually 30km/hr i already panting heavily

birdy suspension is pretty stiff, not like those fork suspension. so not much lost efficiency. good enough to smoothen rough roads.birdy is a full sus foldie, wouldnt the sus make it lose efficiency?
but the birdy is supposed to be fast rite? i am thinking rigid frames for maximum power transfer.
unless the sus makes the foldie more comfortable to ride fast.
This setup will cost how much in total? I am comparing the price against buying a high end road bike. And whether this setup will beat the speed performance of road bike?Its not supposed to be fast.
But when one changes to oval chain ring, uses Capreo hub and carbon wheelset, he can fly easily. But then my friend is a strong rider who has road bike, Tyrell, Brompton and others.

No doubt foldie is more convenient. But we should also consider its safety as a factor. I believe foldie is not as stable as a road bike right?Do you think a heavily Zhng Corolla Altis can rival a Ferrari?
Different bicycles serve different purposes.
To hit 25-30 kmh is no problem. And advantage is that one can fold easily and roll to take a train, taxi or bus.

Got a fren considering tern x18 and tyrell fsx. He has a cannondale roadie and intend to change it for a foldie instead due to portability. Any experts on foldie can help review which is better for speed ma?
