Montague Paratrooper 18 Bike
MFR Model# PARATRPR 18
Overview
|
The Paratrooper is one of the many folding mountain bikes that Montague offers. Its patented folding design was developed to allow airborne soldiers to drop out of airplanes and helicopters and into combat. The Paratrooper offers advanced features with 24 speeds and front and rear mechanical disc brakes. Known for its durability and load bearing capabilities, this folding bike has also developed a following with everyday commuters and weekend warriors.
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. 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. |

Reviews
This is a great and rugged bike. Its been a faithful companion with on trips to Yukon, NWT, Nunavut and it has survived the dust of 4 tours of duty to Burning Man. I also use it for my every day bike in the summer. Very well built and easy to fold and unfold. I love the fact that its mountain bike- so trails are not a problem.
