Verdict

The verdict on the Jetstream P8  is unfortunately on the negative side. The manufacturers claimed it to be rider friendly but it disappointed most of the riders by its weak suspension that often causes them to topple over while riding it in the middle of the busy city. It is also a bit expensive as compared to other bikes.

The Dahon Jetstream P8 Disc is quite comfortable but the issue of the breaks breaking out in the middle of the city causing discomfort for the rider makes it difficult for the riders to buy it. It is also difficult to repair. Hence the bikers often prefer other bikes over this one.
