Throughout the end of 2023 and start of 2024, Discerning Cyclist released rankings of the top folding bikes with Montague models appearing in the top 5 in categories across the board. DiscerningCyclist.com is one of the world’s largest urban cycling publications known for hands-on testing and reviewing hundreds of products, as well as blogging about news throughout the cycling world. Beginning simply as a discussion about riding a bike to work, the website now touches on every area of cycling lifestyle, emphasizing style, function, and practicality in their reviews written by experienced cyclists. Over the last few weeks, they released rankings of varying categories of bikes, clothes, and accessories. Among these were determining the best folding mountain bikes, road bikes, hybrid bikes, bikes with suspension, and full-size folding bikes, with Montagues capturing top spots in each one. 

Best Folding Mountain Bikes
