The Get Outdoors blog had a short post about the Fuego, a foldable mountain bike from Dahon. I personally haven’t seen too many foldable mountain bikes and this thing pretty much blew me away (but then again I’m still riding a hardtail from 1999).

The Fuego has a 7005 aluminum frame and the 17″ version weighs in around 28 pounds, not too bad for a full suspension rig. The folded size is 11″ x 26″ x 31″ which ain’t quite small enough for carry-on luggage but definitely airline checkable. It’s a bit unclear as to whether the bike suitcase is included but for $2,300 let’s hope so. Good looking bike, you would never guess that it could be folded down in just 15 minutes!
