Built for modern city life
The Ryden Fold Urban is built specifically for modern city life: for commuters, students, apartment residents, and anyone wanting a practical transport solution. It offers the flexibility of a folding bike with the comfort and reliability of a traditional commuter.
Its hydroformed aluminium frame uses Ryden’s reinforced quick-fold hinge, folding into a compact package in seconds without compromising rigidity when you ride. The 20" alloy wheels handle responsively in crowded streets while staying large enough for a smooth, stable ride over uneven pavement, and puncture-resistant tyres reduce maintenance and improve confidence on daily journeys.
The Shimano CUES 1x9 drivetrain delivers dependable shifting with durable LinkGlide technology, well suited to high-mileage commuting and stop-and-go traffic. Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes give consistent all-weather stopping with less maintenance than mechanical systems, and ergonomic contact points with an adjustable riding position keep you comfortable through the day.
The Fold Urban includes mounting points for a rear rack, full-length mudguards, and commuter accessories, and its compact folded size (79x37x67 cm) fits apartments, offices, elevators, public transport, and vehicle boots.
Where it fits in the Ryden folding range: the Fold Urban is our most affordable folder with hydraulic disc brakes. It steps up from the entry Fold Lite (Shimano Claris 8-speed, mechanical brakes, steel fork) with hydraulic braking, a CUES 9-speed drivetrain, and an alloy fork. Above it, the Metro Fold adds a CUES 10-speed drivetrain, and the Travel adds touring capability with a wider gear range and an included rack. If you want hydraulic braking and reliable commuting at an accessible price, the Fold Urban is the entry point to that.
