I had been cross shopping for a Tern D7i, Tern Verge S8i, Dahon Mariner XL, or (once it comes out) a Dahon Lunden 20”…… but now I am leaning more towards the newly updated Priority Folder 8.

On the Priority website, they’re taking preorders with a target delivery date here in the U.S. of Sept 7th.

The new revised folder version 8 comes with a with Shimano Alfine 8-speed hub and hydraulic disc brakes. Still undecided but leaning towards the Priority Folder 8, except I’m at the highest weight capacity that the bike is supposed to handle. So I’m concerned if this bike is not good for somebody with my weight.

I have been cross shopping for a Tern D7i, Tern Verge S8i, and now recently considering the newly updated Priority Folder 8. On the Priority website, they’re taking preorders with a target delivery date here in the U.S. of Sept 7th. Price is $1149 + tax (free shipping) total is $1229 for me. The new revised folder version 8 comes with a with Shimano Alfine 8-speed hub and hydraulic disc brakes. Still undecided but leaning towards the Priority Folder 8, except i’m 6 foot tall and I’m at the highest weight capacity that the bike is supposed to handle which is 230 pounds. I’m right at that weight. So I’m concerned if this bike is not good for somebody with my weight.

This started showing as available to order here in USA. I stand 6’1” and weight 230 lbs (104 kg). Wondering if this would be a good size bike for me? https://usa.dahon.com/collections/bikes/products/mariner-xl
