Choose your bike: One of the best ways to narrow down the options is to consider the type of riding you intend to do. This will help you find a bike that has all the features you need to make your journey as pleasant as possible. We offer 4 different bike models which are great for a variety of different riding environments. All our models fold using Montague’s patented folding system. To decide which bike best fits your needs you will want to evaluate what kind of riding you will be doing.
Where Do You Ride? The city. You love the commute, the trip to the store, and the evening jaunt to move your legs. This is the rider who loves the paved maze of city and suburban riding. The do-it-all. The daily commute, the weekend escape, and everything in between. This rider wants to do it all, from the paved to dirt. The mountain biker. This rider lives for fast singletrack and rocky decents. A cyclist who demands performance to handle the rough stuff. The epic ride. This rider goes big and travels far, living for technical rock gardens and mountainous climbs.
DX CROSSOVER If you’re looking for a bike that’s tough enough for the back roads but perfect for city streets, our DX Crossover Bike will satisfy your hunger to ride. The DX is a great all-around bike for anyone who wants a comfortable ride at an unbeatable price.
CX COMFORT Meeting your friend for coffee? Hitting the trails at noon? The CX Comfort Bike is the one for you. This bike is built for versatility and comfort while providing you with mountain bike performance.
MX MOUNTAIN Rugged and rough, the MX Mountain Bike tackles the trails aggressively yet effortlessly. This bike will give you the performance edge you need while attacking the most arduous of mountains.
PARATROOPER Designed to endure almost any terrain at high speed, the Paratrooper Mountain Bikes will get you to the middle of nowhere with stealth operation and zero fuel requirements. These bikes are strong as tanks, light as daypacks.
Practical uses: Pilot. Private pilots across the country enjoy the convenience and portability of Montague bikes. Stowed conveniently in the hold of even the smallest aircraft, Montagues still leave room for other gear. So, wherever you land, Montague has you fully equipped for any off-road adventure
Boating. Boaters love the flexibility and convenience of having a Montague bike on board. Pull into port, pull out your Montague mountain bike and have high-performance wheels to take you wherever you want to go! Montague bikes are all full-size bicycles that fold simply to fit compactly into the hold of a boat. Exploring the mountain bike trails inland or just doing the supply runs to and from town, Montague has a variety of models that fit your riding requirements and fold to fit in your boat.
Car Trunk. You can take it with you – without the hassle of a bike rack! Whether it’s a business trip, a camping trip or just a weekend drive in the country, store your bike in your trunk and have the freedom to go for a ride whenever you want! Montague bikes are the only full-size high-performance mountain bikes that can fold to fit in the trunk of a compact car. Whatever your vehicle: sedan, SUV, truck, etc, in less than 30 seconds your bike can be locked safely in the back – no tools, no roof rack, no hassle!
Airline Travel. From Portsmouth to Peru, you can take your Montague bike with you whatever your destination. With our Airliner hardcase you can easily transport your bike anywhere in the world! The bike folds simply into a case that can be checked as airline luggage. It is very easy to get your Montague bike into taxis, rental cars, and in and out of hotel rooms when using the Airliner.
Commuting. Avoid the jams in the city. Keep fit on your journey to work. Montague bikes are easy to carry in elevators and can be stored snugly into a closet or under your desk at work. Take your bike on the train and make those final blocks to work on your bike. Store your bike in your trunk for sunny days when you can park in a remote lot and bike the rest of the way to work
RV. Whether you are cruising the canyons in your motorhome, meandering across the plains with your trailer or just away for a weekend of rural retreat in your camper, Montague bikes offer you the flexibility to take your bikes with you without the hassle or eye-sore of an external bike carrier. Montague bikes can be folded into a carrying case and tucked out of the way, clean and dry, leaving you plenty of room for your other gear
Storage. Whether you are a city dweller, a student or just space constrained, Montague bikes offer you a high-performance ride with the added convenience of portability and stowability! Gone are the days of hanging your bike in the hall or leaving it locked up outside at the mercy of bike thieves and the weather. Montague bikes can be folded neatly into a carrying case and stored out of the way in a closet or under a bed
Hunting. The Sportsman’s alternative to an ATV or walking. With minimal noise, low maintenance and easy deployment on almost any terrain, the Paratrooper Mountain Bike is the ideal means for scouting game trails or accessing remote sites not open to motorized vehicles. The bike can be equipped with a tow trailer or rack for carrying your gear or game and it compacts for easy storage in your truck or the hold of an airline. Stow it on your next trip out west and avoid the hassle of a mile-long walk-in to your spike camp.
Folding System: Have you ever noticed how most folding bikes look like someone took a hacksaw and cut them in half and added a hinge to allow them to fold? Not very imaginative, and certainly not very good for the ride quality (when a tube is cut in half, it loses its torsional rigidity, making the bike ride like a wet noodle!). The patented F.I.T.™ system developed by Montague engineers, and found on all our bikes, uses a system that does not cut any tubes in half. In fact, when looking at our bikes, it is not immediately clear how they fold, or even that they fold at all. We use our patented Concentrus™ system, which is a tube within a tube design that actually strengthens the frame by incorporating technology found on some high performance, dual suspension mountain bikes. This technology was developed by Montague for military use and is covered under numerous patents worldwide. No tools are required to fold and unfold Montague bicycles. Simply remove the front wheel and unlock one frame quick release. This can be done in a matter of seconds allowing the bike to be stored with ease in your car trunk, boat, plane, closet, or anywhere else you stash your gear.
Frame Material: Montague engineers don't stop after designing great frame geometries. Materials used in frame construction are equally important.So our engineers, looking to the aircraft industry, have developed state of the art custom drawn 7005 series, aircraft grade aluminum tubing that is used on every bike we sell. Sure, it would be easier and less expensive to use the same old round steel tubes that everyone else uses, but then our bikes would ride just like everyone else's, an option we just can't accept. Our trend-setting frame materials are then welded together in our state of the art welding facility making a frame that is stiff both laterally and in torsion. Finally, our frames are finished with a 5-layer anti-corrosion finishing process allowing them to last longer and look better. All this adds up to a frame that will last a lifetime and is guaranteed to do so (see limited lifetime warranty for details).
