Known as the Rolls-Royce of bicycles, Alex Moulton (AM) has a price tag of 10,000 yuan for entry-level models, and each model is produced in extremely limited quantities per year, and its product has long been more than a bicycle to become a work of art sought after by collectors.
 
The frame of the bicycle is generally welded by several thick steel pipes, and the most distinctive feature of Alex Moulton's folding bike is that dozens of special steel pipes with a diameter of less than one centimeter are spliced together to form a "space frame", with a complex structure and exquisite design, like a human skeleton. The frame looks slim, but it's actually very sturdy. This space frame is hand-welded by craftsmen, and each frame is unique.
 
Speaking of which, you may think that Alex Moulton's folding car is just a flashy showcase, but in fact, Moulton has put performance first from the beginning, and the frame design is based on lightweight and sturdiness. In 1986, Jim Glover set a world speed record of 82.5 km/h on the AM-SPEED, and in 1988 Dave Bogdan rode the AM-SPEED to complete the 4,944 km in 10 days and 15 hours.
 
Its unique front and rear suspension system with ultra-high-pressure tires can still maintain good grip at high speeds; Its front and rear wheelbases even exceed those of many large-diameter bicycles, and it was the first to introduce aerodynamics in the development process, so that the vehicle can maintain first-class stability even at high speeds. The ultra-fine steel tube frame weighs less than 9 kilograms, even with suspension and shifting.
 
Alex Moulton currently has more than ten models, the entry model is TSR, SST, the high-end is the "AM" series, the most classic is the AM-SPEED that has created the myth of speed mentioned earlier, and the new flagship model DOUBLE PYLON is the "space frame" technology to the extreme, the seat tube, head tube, fork are all composed of ultra-fine steel tubes, using the most advanced Renault 953 steel, rigidity to the highest level. As the highest priced folding car at present, whether it is an entry-level model or a flagship model, it is top-notch in terms of transmission, brakes and other configurations, the main difference is also in the frame and suspension system, the frame on the higher-end models is obviously more complex, and the more parts that use the "space structure", the higher the complexity and adjustability of the suspension.
