Meet The Montague Paratrooper Mountain Bike

By Bill Lawson

You expect any equipment designed for use by the military to be up to the task in the hand; and this is something where the Montague Paratrooper mountain bike certainly delivers. With the ability to operate in silence, give off no heat signature, and handle any terrain, this 24 speed machine is immense.

Kitted out in such a fashion, it is remarkable that the bike can fold down within thirty seconds, with no need for tools or implements. A simple turn of one quick lever is all it takes for this bike to fold away small enough to be secured in a 3' x 3' pack, easy enough to be thrown anywhere.

Its primary role was as a quick and efficient support to airborne ground mobility troops, descending into enemy territories. Simply attached to a static line, and with that ability to be unfolded in moments, crew transportation could be assured in good time.

It goes further than this however, equally supporting recon missions with its natural stealth. Able to be secured to fast moving automated vehicles, it can be delivered to accessible areas quickly and provide excellent backup when needed. Able to be used to get closer to monitored sites, with no heat sig, it is ideal.

Foot support: For troops on operations on the ground, it can provide an invaluable resource. Partially used, it can be carried in a backpack. Fully used, it can allow more kit to be carried off body. A morale boosting tool too, ground can be covered more quickly and over terrains otherwise considered being navigated around.

Moving into the civilian field too though, the Montague Paratrooper has its obvious merits. For the thrill seeker, it is the ideal recreational bike. But more than this, for those just looking to stay fit with weekend rides around town, it can manage this just as well. It may be a little harsh considering just what it can do though. Best get dirty.
