Good Quality Components on a Sturdy Folding Frame
By William L. Davidson
This is my second Montague Folding Bike purchase. About a year ago, I bought the Paratrooper Pro Model, 20" for my son and was impressed with the strong frame, no flex or looseness when locked in the unfolded riding position. This bike came perfectly tuned. We needed only to unpack, unfold, air the tires and adjust to my son's 6' 3" height. My recently purchased X70 unpacked with components, wheels tuned, but the cassette shiftier did need some simple adjusting. His bike has been completely trouble free for a year to date of hard use. The only change is the handle bar stem extender my son added to raise the handle bar for a more comfortable riding position. The X70, 20" frame is identical to the Paratrooper Pro but with sporty red/black/white paint and component upgrades. It offers a 10 speed rear cassette for 30 gearing combinations while the Pro is a 9 speed rear for 27 gear. The X70 is a couple of pounds lighter than the Pro but both are a pound or two heaver than their advertised weights of 27 lbs and 29 lbs. This regrettable, misleading advertising is common to most bikes companies of which I'm aware.I've been an avid bike rider for over 50 years. The Montague X70 is 5th mountain bike I've owned. It exceeds my previous mountain bikes with the smoothest shifting I've experienced and what seems to be the sturdiest frame yet in spite of the folding ability. If you are looking for a folding mountain bike to handle hard climbs and rough surfaces, I think you will be very favorably impressed with the Montague models. My impression is the the Pro components may be somewhat stronger than X70 perhaps making the Pro Paratrooper a better choice for exceptionally strong riders and the X70 for older, not quite so serious riders as myself.wd

Very Sturdy
By JERRY LEIPHON
I purchased the X70 over a couple years ago from Amazon and have used extensively over that period of time. The collapsible frame has proven to be very sturdy as I use it off road mountain biking regularly. I did shear off the shaft for the folding shaft this last fall and I have been improvising and must replace. It is a 3/8 " approx. diameter shaft and is the weak point of the bike. Jarring and bouncing has taken it's toll. The shaft should probably be a higher quality metal, such as titanium to prevent this. I also purchased the storage bag for the bike and it has proved to be very durable and accomplishes exactly what I hoped to. I can collapse the bike when finished using, put inside the vinyl storage bag and store out of site in the house easily. This is an excellent solution for small apartments, or very limited space. All in all very happy with the purchase as a rule !
