Montague Paratrooper Highline
Best folding mountain bike for adventurers needing compact, rugged trail performance.
This is a rare breed of mountain bike that refuses to compromise on trail capability just to fit in your trunk. While you sacrifice the absolute stiffness of a non-folding frame, you gain the freedom to take serious, full-sized off-road performance anywhere your car can go.
