Customer Testimonials
“If you are a serious mountain biker, this is the bike for you…Won’t break not matter how hard you ride it…I have been in the rockies, in cali, and now in europe, plus the fact it folds, that’s a space saver, this has many miles, it is just as good as the day I got it…great investment!!!”
“Excellent bike. Neatly fits in my trunk. The ride is awesome. Recommend it for anyone who is on the go and needs time during the day to get out for a quick ride during long breaks at shifts at work.”
“I knew there were road bikes that are foldable but a folding mountain bike?!! I compared Montague with other folding bikes. None compared to it. The others either had less number of gears, were too expensive or their design wasnt good. I have had this bike for about 3 months and have already put like 100 miles on it. Its amazing, the color, design everything. The folding mechanism is awesome..and yes it takes less than 30 seconds to fold and unfold it. You will love it…worth the money.”
“After much research I decided to buy this bike based on 2 important factors for me – 1) I wanted, and needed, a bike that could fold up and be placed in my little Scion X-B. 2) I wanted a bike fairly inexpensive but strong for the money. If the U.S. Army and the Marines use this bike it’s got to be pretty strong! Trust me, you won’t be dissapointed with this bike. How many people can say their bike can fold up in 30 seconds? And if you’re worried about structural integrity the fact that our military uses this says something.”
CLIX Folding System
Clever integration of the patented CLIX System allows for the Paratrooper to be folded in under 20 seconds without the use of tools. A flip of the CLIX quick release lever on the top tube and the bike folds to a compact size.
Folding Integrated Technology
The Paratrooper frame is designed around a patented folding system. This design eliminates the need to break the frame in order to fold the bike. Not only does this make folding easier but it makes this bike the strongest folding bike on the market. The Folding Integrated Technology (F.I.T.) is based around frame construction concepts designed for serious full suspension downhill bikes.
