Oh sure, some will have no issues with it. Just imo/ime. The roads here are in a fairly bad state and that's part of the problem. I've no problem hitting good speeds on my road bike here but I still find the Brompton a real handful. It's the low trail figure mainly. The Dahon has more trail and a bigger wheel, 40mm tyres etc, all helps.
Personal preference, experience etc. I have no issue flying along on a Brompton at 30mph down hills in Somerset...
