| By now you
have noticed that Montague bicycles are different from all others.
In addition to our innovative technology, our bikes were designed
with the philosophy that performance comes first - the folding
aspect is secondary. Most people in the bike industry agree that
bicycles of the future will fold, but that is where the agreement
ends. We design full-size, high-performance bicycles that fold,
not folding bicycles.
Other folding bike manufacturers compromise on the ride quality
of the bike when they use small “circus-style” wheels. Montague
is different; our bikes use standard, full-size wheels that millions
of bikes use all around the globe. These wheel sizes have been
chosen by a countless number of riders and all major bike companies
because they offer by far the best stability, rolling resistance,
and obstacle clearance.
A WORD ON SMALL WHEEL "CIRCUS STYLE" FOLDING BIKES: Small wheels
offer, well, small performance. When compared to standard bicycle
wheels, the small wheels found on most folding bikes sink into
smaller potholes, offer less stability, create more rolling resistance,
force you to use an increased gearing ratio to go the same speed,
and when you get a flat tire, tubes are not readily available
at any bike shop.
