A frequent winner of folding bike shootouts that include bikes that cost up to four times as much, the Mariner D8 is one of our most popular bicycles.

It’s a high quality, lightweight bike at a surprisingly affordable price. Its portability makes the Mariner D8 ideal for trips that include a stretch by bus, train or even putting in the boot of your car. Making it perfect for multi-modal urban transport.

The performance is one of the things we like best about this model. It provides a nice smooth ride even with 20” wheels. Whilst you have to pedal more to go the same speed as a larger bike this is typical for most folding bikes. This folding bike suits both women and men and works for all age groups.

Comfortable and Responsive

The Dahon Mariner is best suited for streets and urban environments, with the ride comfortable on just about any terrain.

It is very responsive bike with the gear shifting and brakes working exactly as they should. The Ergo grips keep your hands and arms more comfortable and the rigid frame keeps the ride smooth and on track.

Well made and lightweight

The reason riders love the bike so much is because it is well made, has good components, is very lightweight and compact, is very adjustable and ultimately rides well. This bike provides great quality without going into the ‘high-end’ price range.

This model was specifically designed for boat enthusiast’s, caravan and motorhome users who want to stash their bike away in a small boat hold, or caravan cupboard. Having it available for use when at their destination, allowing them to explore, pick up food and supplies to bring back to the boat / caravan.

Perfect for commuters

The compact frame and fold-up size make it easy to store in a small space, fold up quickly and hop onto a train or bus and even store under your desk in your workplace. Folding and unfolding the bike takes only seconds making it highly functional and convenient for urban commuters.
