Redefining performance folding technology by Mark Sanders |
People who need to combine full sized cycling with other forms of transport - commuters, for example - will benefit greatly from the intelligent design of our IF bikes. IF technology makes journeys truly "door to door". The ability to almost instantly fold into a wheelable package (like most luggage these days) means tjhat the folded bike does not need to be carried along platforms, train and office corridors. This "never carry" feature means shopping malls, supermarkets and pedestrian only areas are easy to get round without having to leaveyour valuable bike outside. IF technology provides solutions bo both cycling enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts. The former will appreciate the feel of a "no-compromise" full sized bike with the space saving and easy transportation of a folder that IF delivers. Non-cyclists, who are looking for the benefits in size and convenience a folder gives but would prefer a full sized bike, will love the solid feel and transportability of the IF bikes. Imagine a full sized bike that transforms instantly into a compact package and never needs to be carried. IF bikes offer a single-action, automatic 5-second fold. No tools are needed and no parts need to be removed. The technology is based on a patented 3-dimensional 4-Bar link that automatically guides the wheels to come together when folding. This means bikes using this technology can be folded almost instantly, into a portable shape, supported by their wheels, with a convenient handle, so that they can be rolled along. As well as being wheelable when folded, the package is very small with all parts fitting between the handle and the wheels. |
IF REACH For discerning enthusiasts who appreciate the benefits of smaller 20" wheeled bikes but also want very fast folding to quickly board a train, etc. Brings the IF features of near-instant folding and wheelability into a standard Reach. |
IF MODE The clean and striking IF Mode is aimed at commuters of the mobile generation who, until now, may have not considered cycling or folding bikes to be an option. IF Mode is a unique product that offers a new image for people who previously thought bikes were for enthusiasts only. IF Mode avoids oily chains, complex tube with hidden dirt traps and the clutter of traditional bicycle features. It can be used by city commuters who do not want to change their appearance into ¡®bicycle warriors¡¯ and may use public transport or their car for some of the journey. IF Mode looks at home folded up on a smart subway train or in an office, just like a sleek mp3 player or other well designed accessory in your life. It also performs on the street like any lightweight well balanced full size bike. |
IF CROSS Aimed especially at riders who prefer a conventional frame, wheel size and appearance, with the feel and performance of a typical hybrid bike. A compact folding bike for people who prefer large 26¡± and 700c wheels. |
