Birdy
The Birdy is a full-suspension folding bike and it already has a cult following. In 2005 the Birdy was completely redesigned, with a monocoque main frame formed from two sheet-aluminium halves, precision-welded together by robot, at its heart. This production technology gives a completely fresh look with flowing free-form lines and a bodyworkstyle appearance. The main frame and rear suspension arm are a full 150g lighter and at the same time more rigid. The step-through height has also been reduced by 60 mm.
Folding bikes are intended for mobile people, who sometimes also need to carry their vehicle, so low weight makes even more sense here than on any other type of cycle. A particular feature of the Birdy is the dual functionality of the frame joints, both for suspension pivots and as part of the folding mechanism. This trick of using the frame joints both for folding and suspension means that a joint in the main frame can be eliminated. With its simple folding mechanism (folds in around 15 seconds), small folded size (from 79x61x36 cm) and low weight (from 10.4 kg) it is easy to transport and can be stored in any space small or large. The Birdy is now well established as the leading folding bike on the market and is distributed in America, Australia and Japan, so that a worldwide service network is on hand even when you’re on the road.
The Birdy is available in five basic specifications: rohloff, touring, speed, city and light. A choice of five colours and numerous accessories lets you customise the Birdy to your individual requirements. (See folding animation)

Frog
The Frog is back! After going AWOL for a few years the new Frog is checking back in with up to minute technology and an astonishingly good ride. It is based around a monocoque main frame manufactured from two sheet aluminum halves, accurately robot-welded. This fully-suspended compact folding bike is designed for everyone who needs a bike along constantly: in cars, trains or boats the Frog vanishes into even the tiniest spaces, and for local public transport the smallpacked sizewon't even raise an eyebow. As a constant companion it is always on hand and invites spontaneous use. With the 8-speed hub gearing, spirited riding is possible even in hilly terrain. The full suspension and wide tires with grippy tread swallow up bumps superbly. The ride feels almost like you're on a big touring bike.
The Frog has the same folding system as the Birdy,and with the telescopic seatpost, the compact wheels now enlarged to 16", and folding pedals, it achieves an astonishing folded size of 73x59x26 cm. This gives it a 28% smaller folded volume than of its sister model the Birdy. Folding takes around 20 seconds.
