Birdy R20 | 11-Speed | Performance Foldable Bike
Birdy R20: Engineered for Speed and Precision
The Birdy R20 is designed for cyclists who crave speed and agility in a compact, folding bike. Built with the same high-performance Birdy frame, the R20 elevates your ride with a 20-inch wheelset and race-ready components. Whether you're cutting through city streets or taking on long-distance road rides, the Birdy R20 offers precision handling, unmatched efficiency, and a lightweight build that never compromises on performance. With the Birdy R20, you're not just riding a folding bike—you're riding a high-speed machine built for the road.
At 10.8kg, it is the lightest 20” wheeled full suspension folding bike in the market.
Performance-Driven 20-Inch Wheelset
At the heart of the Birdy R20's superior ride quality is its 20-inch Hubsmith wheelset, designed for enhanced speed and smoother rolling on paved roads. The larger wheels provide increased stability and efficiency, making the R20 ideal for road cycling and longer commutes. Combined with performance tires, the Birdy R20 delivers a faster, more responsive ride, without sacrificing the compact folding capability that defines the Birdy lineup.
Optimized for Speed with Shimano 105 Drivetrain
The Birdy R20 is equipped with the Shimano 11-Speed 105 groupset, a favorite among road cyclists for its smooth shifting performance and durability. The 11-speed drivetrain allows for precise, fast gear changes, enabling you to maximize your speed and control on any road. Whether you're cruising through the city or accelerating on open highways, the Shimano 105 ensures seamless power transfer for an efficient, high-speed ride.
Ultimate Comfort with Full Suspension
Despite its speed-focused design, the Birdy R20 doesn’t compromise on comfort. Like all Birdy models, the R20 is built with a full suspension system that absorbs shocks from uneven roads, giving you a smooth ride whether you're cycling on tarmac or less predictable surfaces. Paired with the lightweight, hydroformed aluminum frame, this ensures that you can maintain comfort on long rides without compromising on the bike's performance or durability.
Precise Control with dual piston actuated TRP mechanical brakes!
Safety and control are essential at high speeds, and the Birdy R20 is built with the TRP Spyre mechanical disc brake system. Designed for precise braking power, these brakes give you full control in any riding condition—whether it's a fast-paced city stop or a controlled descent. The responsive stopping power ensures confidence, especially in wet or unpredictable environments, making the R20 as safe as it is fast.
The TRP Spyre brakes are unique with a dual actuated pistons, providing controlled power, modulation and even brake pad wear.
Compact Folding for Easy Transport
Like the Birdy GT, the R20 boasts a compact folding design, allowing you to take it anywhere without hassle. Folding down in under 15 seconds to compact dimensions, it fits easily into small spaces—whether you're commuting, storing it at home, or packing it for travel. At just 10.8kg, the R20's lightweight frame ensures that you can carry it with ease, making it ideal for both urban riders and road cyclists who need a high-performance folding bike.
The folding design makes it a standout in the world of performance folding bikes. It has the smallest fold amongst 20" folding bike that has full suspension at 72 x 62 x 34cm.
The R20 also can be pushed when folded without the need of any rack mounted wheels, adding to its versatility in commuting or travelling with it.
