- Allow me to show you my new foldie bike - the Fnhon Gust.
This is one of the hottest foldie bikes in town, and I'd say it's a very good alternative for those who're looking at smaller bikes. While it does not fold as compact as a 3-fold Brompton (and clones such as Pikes or 3Sixty), it definitely provides much more in terms of quality and overall weight-saving.
We get plenty of good quality parts like Shimano groupset and full Litepro parts. And you really gotta check out how much lighter this is. At 9.2kg (less pedals), it definitely makes this easier to move around.
Not to mention for Fnhon bikes, you're more or less looking at custom builds in a sense that you can select all the trim colours and parts. And that's what I just did for my bike. I went for a full black-gold colour scheme. Just loving it.
Specs for this bike:
Frame: Fnhon Gust FGC1611 Chromoly Steel with aluminium fork (black & gold edition)
Groupset: Shimano 9-speed, shifter Alivio, deraileur Sora
Rimset: Litepro K-fun 305 (gold) with Kenda K1082 tires
Brakes: Avid levers with Litepro V brakes
Crankset: Litepro hollowcrank with 53T crank (gold)
Litepro parts: headset, skewers, seat post (gold)
Weight: 92.kg less pedals
Price: SG$700 plus
Watch my review on the 3Sixty foldie:

Hi can I check where you get it from? and also is yours tailor-made or pre-build set?
Hey. Me too riding this fnhon 305 in blue combination colour 👍. So far no problem everything run smoothly
These Fnhons don’t get as much fanfare and cult following, but they’re actually very nice too. Enjoy yours in good health!
So after riding the fnhon a while would you say it’s better than the Brompton copies? Also I noticed no mud guards. Is that a problem? Do you get dirty riding it?
@@rajivpn so far no issues without mudguard. But i never ride in wet weather so can’t say for sure.
I like the weight of these Fnhon bikes. But I guess in terms of folding, the B-types are better. May be important factor for transporting in your car to Marina/ECP.:)
In terms of ride, the Gust is still OK because it’s steel frame. Not exactly magic carpet but still ok for a foldie.
@@AndyinSG thanks for the reply. I like your videos. Hope to see more on the bikes
@@rajivpn thanks! Will look into doing more bicycle videos.
177cm and 93kg...is it suitable for someone like my size? thanks for the review.
Hi, nice ride.... neat body design and pretty colour option too.....i owned 1 too but in rose gold....✌
Thanks for dropping by. I sure hope you’re enjoying your ride.
@@AndyinSG yeah i do njoying it ....
Jus got myself a Gust 20 inch in Titanium
@@XDkaynnn great
@@XDkaynnn I think you meant Blast 20” right?
Hi, Any issue with the rear derailleur being too close to the ground? Thank you!
Seems ok actually.
@@AndyinSG , Have you tried going down steep slope? They say 305 wheel size are not stable when it comes riding down slope especially steep ones
@@marcfng9975 I guess it depends on how steep. I ride a 14” wheel foldie. No issues. I ride very slowly though.
Hi, can i check if the bike is suitable for a 1.8m person?
Technically it can fit. But I think you should get a feel of the actual thing first. The bike is pretty small.
Hi can share where you got this bike from? Thanks
Hey man, can find some on sale in Carousell.
Or you can email me too. thewatchkaki@gmail.com
@@AndyinSG Emailed You.. Thanks
The rear derailer is long type you should be using the short type.
Good idea. Thanks for sharing.
looks like an awesome bike but the derailleur will touch the ground.
i think fnhon is also a dahon clone in the same way that pikes and 3sixty are to brompton
I would think the Gust is definitely original model. But yes, I have to agree that the Fnhon brand is most likely inspired by Dahon.
fnhon actually produces the dahon frames
@@awfully.average fnhon is actually owned by a former dahon sales manager, he left dahon and created fnhon
Preferably disc brake instead of V brake, small wheels tend to heat up faster 😅
Not really a problem of you have good breaking technique
May i know where r u from?
I’m from sunny Singapore.
👍im from spore too.....may b we can catch riding our gust someday
@@rajimmohd6350 good to meet a fellow SG rider!
But I’m actually riding a Breeze all the time. I prefer a smaller bike. The Breeze suits me very well.
This is a design rip off from Dahon.
may i know which Dahon?
