Like all Montagues, the Paratrooper Express is designed to fold and fit anywhere. With front suspension and semi-knobby tyres, the Express is at home on and off-road. It makes for the perfect light trail bike or rugged commuter.
Montague mountain bikes can take you over the roughest single track and cross country trails you can find, rival the best hardtail bikes on the market, and fold in seconds for transport or storage.
With Shimano derailleurs, Suntour suspension, and Tektro brakes, the Paratrooper Express offers components from the industry’s top manufacturers, carrying on the Swissbike® tradition of performance and portability.
• Medium – 18″: For riders 5’3″ – 5’10”

• Large – 20″: For riders 5’11” – 6’4″
Standover height is 29.13″
Paratrooper and Paratrooper Pro in action on the video, Our verdict is: The Paratrooper Express folds in exactly the same way, and is capable of very similar use as the frame is rugged and strong. The components however are a bit basic for serious off road use, more casual offroad use is envisaged for this entry model.
