Availability Update - Paratrooper Folding Bike
by Larry Lagarde
Although we're sold out of the military tough Paratrooper folding bikes from Montague at the moment, the bikes are as popular as ever. To learn more about when they'll again be available, I called Montague today for an update.
Montague expects to have new Paratroopers available in March. The bikes will cost @ $20 more but there will also be some small component upgrades. In particular, the Shimano Deore rear derailleur on the 2007 Paratrooper models will be replaced with the smoother riding and slightly lighter SRAM X-5.
Following is an excellent video comparing how the Shimano Deore and SRAM X-5 react while being ridden over the same piece of single track. Note how little the SRAM travels in comparison to the Shimano Deore derailleur. Impressive.
