Folding Mountain bike review
Montague Paratrooper Folding Mountain Bike
The most popular of the folding mountain
bikes would have to be the Paratrooper from Montague.
If you are after the ride quality of a
regular sized mountain bike, a solid frame, a quality suspension system, beefy
tires and powerful disc brakes, in a top quality folding mountain bike, then
the Montague Paratrooper has it covered.
Quality
Components
The convenience of a folding bike is great,
but if the components of the bike are of poor quality then you would be
hesitant to ride it for fear of it falling apart.
The one thing the Montague Paratrooper has
is simplicity and parts that you feel comfortable aren’t going to let you down.
At the rear end of the bike you have a
Shimano Deoure derailleur, which is one of the top 4 levels of Shimano’s
components and this is shifting gears on an 8-speed cassette, which gives you a
wide range of gears, with plenty of big gears for hills and a range of small
gears for going fast.
The mechanical disc brakes make the bike a
lot lower maintenance, and nice wide tires give you plenty of grip when you
need it, climbing hills, in gravel and when riding in muddy conditions.
The triple chain ring and another quality
Shimano derailleur help make up the 24 gears in total on this bike, with smooth
gear changes for effortless riding.
The frame of paratrooper was made to
withstand all types of conditions, as the name suggests it was designed in
conjunction with the US military, to build a bike that could survive the
roughest of handling.
The strength of the frame in this folding mountain bike comes from the central spiral of the framework, taking the load
through a series of triangular connections that lock in when the bike is
unfolded.
The front all terrain suspension has plenty
of travel for taking those heavy bumps, and the front wheel also has its own
disc brake setup for extra braking power.
The
Real Benefit of The Montague Paratrooper.
As a mountain bike the Paratrooper is up
there with it’s strong frame and quality of components, but the real selling
point is in it’s ability to fold up for storage and transportation purposes.
The simplicity of the patented folding
system means that with the flick of 2 levers, your full size mountain bike
folds up to easily fit in the boot of a car.
The lightweight construction makes it easy
to carry or put away and it’s simple locking system makes it easy for anyone to
use.
As a mountain bike that has all the
features of a regular sized bike, quality components for a strong frame and
reliable parts, and the ability to fold for storing or transport, It’s easy to
see why this folding mountain bike is one of the most popular.
