The Montague Paratrooper Elite ($2499), is a full-sized and fully capable mountain bike that folds in seconds, small enough for a standard car trunk. The Paratrooper Elite uses standard components from Shimano, RockShox, and Mavic, the same you’ll find on the industry’s leading cross-country and downhill mountain bikes, but it revolutionizes the mountain bike with a patented folding design. Montague’s DirectConnect folding system does not break the frame’s tubing which makes for an extremely rigid frame that you would never imagine could fold.

Montague has a complete line of 11 folding bikes that range from high-end mountain models like the Paratrooper Elite to single speed urban bikes and 30-speed road bikes.

The design was a proof concept to show what could be done with the MX3D method of printing metal. The method used called WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) […]
