Montague X-50 review
By Anthony D. Glover
My terrain is Bagram AF Afghanistan - My total commute is 8 miles a day on a partially paved flat, very dusty, windy, very muddy (on wet days) road. I ordered my X-50 on 4 May and it arrived on Bagram 10 May 2010. It took me 15 minutes to unpack and start riding. The ride is extremely smooth on these roads and I rise out of the saddle on the rocky unpaved sections. We have one hill and I find the shifting smooth as hell. Even riding with one hand you can shift effortlessly. After a muddy ride I found the bike easy to hose off and clean. NO tough to clean places. Great bike for the average rider, but with 18 gears I was spinning on the flats and needed more torque, so I just ordered the Paratrooper and I'll let you know next month if the extra 6 gears was worth the money. At $499 the X50 was easy to sell.Enjoy the rideSir Glover

Best folding bike on the market
By Michael Ary
Yes, I own a folding bike... it's made by Montague (montaguebikes.com). Harry Montague invented the first full size folding bike. His son David (an MIT graduate Aerospace Engineer), joined his father in June of 1987 to form a partnership for the design and manufacture of the most innovative folding bicycles in the world. Their sturdy foldable mountain bikes were selected for use by the U.S. Army paratroopers no less! I figured if paratroopers use them, then I shouldn't have any problems with it. And, in the 2 years I've had it, I haven't. It's lightweight and durable and collapses in less than 20 seconds to fit in the back of my (compact) car's trunk with lots of room to spare. It takes up about the same space as a collapsable wheel chair. The company uses only the highest quality available parts that can be found at most bike stores, so no need to worry about your local bikeshop being able to affect repairs or maintenance as you would with some exotic brand name foldable bikes. I use it all the time. I love the affordability, the durability, the convenience and features of my Montague X50 folding mountain bike. I think you would do well to check it out if a foldable is in your future.
