Riese & Muller have cleverly designed an aluminium frame with no hinges to weaken it. Instead of a folding frame, the front and back wheels fold in - and the same pivots which let them fold also provide very good front and rear suspension. The suspension also makes the Birdy very fast - you can run the tyres at 100psi+ yet still be comfortable, and the suspension doesn’t dive under braking.
There are eight models of Birdy, all based on the same frame but with different gearing and components.
Yet amazingly, the Birdy still folds very well - with a bit of practice you can fold or unfold it in 15-20 seconds.
