Funxtron F16 Suspension Folding Bike

The Funxtron F16 Performance is a 16-inch (349) trifold folding bike with full front-and-rear suspension. This batch weighs 10.28 kg including pedals. It targets riders who want a folding bike that rides more comfortably over rough surfaces than a typical rigid trifold, while still folding down small enough for a car boot or suitcase.

First-batch offers

This arrival comes with two offers, and both can be used together. Limited quantities, while stocks last. They cannot be combined with other promotions. Bikes bought at Jollymap include one year of free inspection and servicing.

A fork mudguard with every bike

Every F16 includes one Jollymap exclusive 3D-printed nylon fork mudguard. It is a gift, not sold separately, and customers who already pre-ordered receive one too. The guard is made to this fork and finished in matte black, so rain from the front wheel is less likely to spray onto you or your shoes.

$1,000 off when you add the matching carbon wheels

The F16 uses a 74 mm front and 135 mm rear spacing with 12 mm thru-axles. Carbon wheels in this spacing are not currently sold elsewhere that we have seen. Buy the bike together with the Suncord Funxtron F16 tri-spoke carbon wheelset or the THIAB Funxtron F16 4-spoke carbon wheelset and the order is $1,000 less. The discount applies to this batch of F16 bikes only. Buying the wheels later does not include the $1,000 off.

Key Facts

• Category: 16-inch (349) full-suspension trifold folding bike, 10-speed
• Standout feature: both front and rear suspension on a folding bike — an adjustable air front shock plus a carbon rear fork with a PU damper, a combination not commonly found on trifold bikes this light
• Key numbers: 10.28 kg with pedals, folded size 610 x 605 x 315 mm, unfolded size 1440 x 1030 x 580 mm, Sensah 10-speed (11-25T cassette)
• Best for: riders who want a lightweight trifold with real suspension comfort for mixed city-and-rough-road riding, and families who want to fit multiple folded bikes in a car for weekend trips

The Problem It Solves

Small-wheeled trifold bikes are easy to store but tend to transmit every bump straight into your hands and seat, since most have no suspension at all. The F16 adds an adjustable air front shock and a carbon-composite rear fork with a PU damper, aiming to smooth out rough pavement and cobblestones. This batch weighs 10.28 kg with pedals, and it still folds in about a second.

Who It Suits

The F16 suits riders who already like the trifold folding format but find rigid trifolds uncomfortable on rougher roads, and families doing "car plus bike" weekend trips who want to fit several folded bikes into a car boot. If you don't need suspension and want a simpler mechanism with less to maintain, a rigid trifold such as the Java NEO 9S 16 inch 349 9-Speeds Folding Bike (approx. 9.8-10.2kg) is a simpler alternative at a similar wheel size.

Dual suspension for a smoother ride

The front uses a patented MacPherson-strut-style linkage with an adjustable air shock (30mm travel, composite piston rated up to 600psi, nano-coated inner cylinder for low-compression, linear damping). The rear pairs a 360g T800 carbon-composite arched fork with a PU shock absorber — the brand describes this combination as filtering vibration in multiple stages for a smoother ride than a rigid trifold.

Sub-one-second folding mechanism

A hidden folding latch built into the frame lets you open or close the bike in about 0.5-1 second, and the brand states it needs less than 25N of force to operate — designed to be manageable even for riders with less hand strength.

Lightweight hybrid frame and drivetrain

A 6061 aluminum main beam is paired with a T800 carbon front fork and a T800 carbon rear fork, aiming for a stiff, responsive ride. Jollymap weighed this batch at 10.28 kg including pedals. The drivetrain is Sensah 10-speed (11-25T cassette), with a CNC lightweight hollow crank (165 mm, 52T chainring, crank about 400 g) and CNC lightweight hydraulic disc brakes for precise shifting and consistent stopping power. Ergonomic grips and a contoured saddle are also fitted for longer rides.

Compact enough for a car boot or suitcase

Folded down to 610 x 605 x 315mm, the brand states the F16 can fit several units into an SUV boot, or pack into a standard suitcase for air travel — useful for the "car plus bike" weekend trip format this bike is designed around.

Brompton-compatible front mount

A multifunctional mounting plate at the front is compatible with the Brompton-style front carrier block ("pig nose"), so you can add compatible lights or a front carrier rack later. The brand also states most other parts use widely available market-standard fittings, which should make future upgrades easier.

Jollymap's Advice

If you mainly ride smooth city roads and want the simplest possible trifold, you may not need a suspension system — a rigid Java NEO trifold will do the job. If your rides include rougher pavement, cobblestones or longer distances and comfort matters more than mechanical simplicity, the F16's dual suspension is a genuine point of difference.

FAQ

Is the Funxtron F16 really the world's lightest and smallest full-suspension folding bike?

That wording comes from the brand's own marketing. Earlier brand materials cited 9.7 kg. Jollymap weighed this batch at 10.28 kg including pedals, and the folded size is 610 x 605 x 315 mm. We have not checked the claim against every full-suspension folding bike on the market.

How much does the Funxtron F16 weigh?

This batch weighs 10.28 kg including pedals, weighed by Jollymap. Earlier brand materials stated 9.7 kg without saying whether pedals were included. Use the weighed figure for this batch.

What are the pros and cons of the F16 compared with a rigid trifold?

The main advantage is comfort — the dual suspension is designed to absorb bumps that a rigid trifold like the Java NEO would transmit directly to the rider. The trade-offs are that it's a newer model with less of a track record than long-established brands, and suspension components add some maintenance considerations over time. If you don't ride rough surfaces often, a rigid trifold with a simpler mechanism may suit you just as well.

What size wheels and tires does the F16 use?

16-inch (349) wheels with CST Machvolt Pro G5 1.35-inch tires, rated to 85 psi.

How many gears does the F16 have?

Sensah 10-speed, with an 11-25T cassette and a 52T chainring, suitable for flat city riding and moderate hills.

Is the folding mechanism hard to use?

The brand states the hidden folding latch needs less than 25N of force and takes about 0.5-1 second to release or lock, designed to be manageable for most riders including those with less hand strength.

Can I fit a front basket or light on the F16?

Yes — the front mounting plate is compatible with the Brompton-style "pig nose" carrier block, so compatible lights or a front carrier can be added.

Do I still need to pre-order the F16?

No. This batch has arrived and can be ordered from the Jollymap online store and the Kwun Tong shop. Customers who already pre-ordered still receive the mudguard. To check a colour or a wheelset, message us via live chat or our Facebook page.
