Convenience above all
The Ryden Compact is designed for riders who value convenience above all: living in a small apartment, commuting across multiple modes of transport, travelling frequently, or simply needing a bike that is easy to carry and store.
Its lightweight hydroformed aluminium frame uses Ryden’s compact-fold technology with a reinforced safety hinge and a magnetic frame lock that keeps the bike securely folded during transport. The 20" double-wall alloy wheels handle agilely while staying stable on city streets, and puncture-resistant tyres improve comfort and reduce flats on daily journeys.
The Shimano CUES 1x8 drivetrain is simple, durable, and ideal for stop-and-go city riding, and mechanical disc brakes deliver dependable, easy-to-maintain stopping. An adjustable handlepost and telescopic seatpost fit a range of rider heights, and foldable pedals further reduce the folded size. The Compact is also compatible with optional front luggage blocks, rear racks, and mudguards.
Folded to 76x35x64 cm, it fits elevators, offices, trains, apartments, campers, and boats.
Where it fits in the Ryden folding range: the Compact is our portability specialist, the lightest (10.5 kg) and smallest-folding (76x35x64 cm) bike in the range. It uses mechanical disc brakes, a CUES 8-speed drivetrain, and the narrowest tyres in the range (20x1.50") to hit that low weight and small fold. Against the entry Fold Lite, the Compact is lighter and folds smaller with an alloy fork and a CUES drivetrain, while the Fold Lite ($100 less) offers slightly wider tyres for a bit more comfort on longer rides. If you want hydraulic braking, the Fold Urban steps up to that; if you want maximum portability, the Compact is built specifically for it.
