The Montague Urban is a full-size road bike that offers all the features of a regular road bike with the added benefit of the folding design. This means you can take it with you nearly anywhere you go. Commuters will love it because you can easily take it with you on a bus, carry it up and down stairs, and store it by your desk. Shoppers will love it because you can carry a small amount of groceries or other gear on the cargo rack. Students will love it because it's easy to carry into class, a coffee shop, or store in a small dorm. It also has a DirectConnect latch that ensures the bike won't fold up and collapse while you're riding. And, unlike a regular bike, you can store a folding bike in a closet or compartment so it's out of sight in your home or RV.

Quick and Easy Folding Design

The Urban takes approximately 20 seconds to fold up. You can do it in 4 easy steps. Undo the latch on the back of the seat post and rotate the cargo basket under the rear tire to convert it to a bike stand. Open the quick-release latch on the front hub and pull the spring to remove the front wheel. Open the CLIX DirectConnect latch under the top tube, and fold the bike in half. Use the included hook-and-loop strap to secure the front wheel to the folded bike.

The bike weighs just 29 lbs so it's convenient to carry wherever you go. It's easy to haul up and down stairs, load in and out of your trunk or truck bed, and you don't have to worry about locking it up when not in use.

Montague Urban

1. Shimano Altus 3-Speed Front Derailleur -
   The Shimano Altus 3-speed front derailleur shifts the top part of the chain between the 3 front sprockets. It works with the Shimano Acera 7-speed rear derailleur to give the drivetrain a total of 21 speeds for you to choose from. The top swing derailleur creates a small profile so you can mount a water bottle to the seat post without obstruction. It's also top pull, so the shifter cable can be only routed to the shifter from the top of the derailleur. Routing from the bottom is standard on road bikes, but it's routed from the top on the Urban to accommodate the triple crankset.
   
   
2. Shimano Acera 7-Speed Rear Derailleur -
   The Shimano Acera 7-speed rear derailleur shifts the bottom part of the chain between the 7 rear sprockets. It has a light action for precise shifting that's perfect for road cycling. The lightning-quick action is perfect when you need to make sudden gear changes. It's constructed of lightweight aluminum and steel that are designed for pavement riding. It works with the Shimano Altus 3-speed front derailleur to give the drivetrain a total of 21 speeds for you to choose from.
   
   
3. 700c Kenda Tires -
   The 700c Kenda semi-knobby tires are great on paved or gravel roads. The wheels have double-walled rims that provide increased support when compared with single-walled rims. This makes them better at navigating speed bumps, pot holes, and other road hazards. The tubes have Schrader valves with cores that are easy to remove.
   
   
4. RackStand Cargo Rack and Kickstand -
   The RackStand is a sturdy steel cargo rack over the rear wheel that lets you carry your gear. This eases your burden so you don't have to carry groceries, textbooks, and other items in a clumsy backpack. You can convert the RackStand into a kickstand by simply opening the latch that attaches it to the seat post and rotating it underneath the tire. This also give you support under the bike for cleaning and maintenance. The fender for the rear wheel is also integrated into the RackStand.
   
   
5. Gel Saddle with Elastomer Comfort System -
   The gel saddle has an elastomer comfort system that makes it comfortable even on long rides. It has a long, narrow shape that won't chafe your thighs as you pedal. It's also easy to adjust to accommodate your height, and you can do it in seconds. Just loosen the quick-clamp, slide the seat post to your desired height, and close the quick-clamp.
   
   
6. Kalloy Aluminum Frame with 5-Layer Brushed Coating -
   The 19" frame is made out of 6061 aircraft-grade Kalloy aluminum tubing that is lightweight yet stronger than standard steel tubing. It's great for riding over rocks, through ditches, and navigating other off-road hazards. It also has a 5-layer brushed coating that helps prevent corrosion so it's great to use in wet conditions.
   
   
7. Seat Post Hinge with CLIX DirectConnect Latch -
   The large hinge on the seat post connects the front and rear parts of the frame, keeping the point of articulation off of the top tube. This prevents the frame from developing a potential weak point as can happen with other folding bikes that are hinged on the top tube. It features a CLIX DirectConnect latch that automatically secures the hinge in place when the bike is unfolded. This prevents the bike from accidentally folding up and collapsing while you are riding.
   
   
8. Shimano EZ Fire Trigger Shifters -
   The Shimano EZ Fire trigger shifters are located on the right side and left side of the handlebars next to the hand brakes. They let you easily shift gears up and down using your thumbs and index fingers without having to move your hands off the grips. The shifter on the right shifts between 7 speeds on the rear derailleur. The shifter on the left shifts between 3 speeds on the front derailleur. An optical display on each shifter lets you easily see what gear you are in.
   
   
9. Handlebar Brake Levers -
   The handlebar brake levers are located in front of each hand grip so you can steer and brake without having to move your hands. The right hand brake lever stops the front wheel and the left hand brake lever stops the rear wheel. The soft, ergonomic handles are easy to grip so your hands won't slide off them while steering.
   
   
10. Tektro Dual-Pivot, Side-Pull Caliper Brakes -
    The Tektro dual-pivot, side-pull caliper brakes are great for racing or commuting at high speeds. The front and rear units mount at a single point above each tire and have arms that wrap around the tires. When the handlebar brake levers are squeezed one arm pivots at the center and the other arm pivots at the side. This type of brake is great for use on the thin tires found on road bikes. They also provide greater braking power when compared with rim V-brakes.
    
    
11. Rigid Unicrown Fork -
    The rigid unicrown fork is strong yet lightweight, and it's flexible so you won't feel much flutter when riding a rough road or braking aggressively. The fork provides enough space between the crown and the tire so that a random stick or pinecone won't get wedged in and cause your wheel to stop. It's also easy to mount a water bottle cage on either leg. It has a ramped dropout with a CLIX quick-release latch so you can easily remove the wheel and fold the bike up.
    
    
12. Front and Rear Fenders -
    The Urban is equipped with fenders over the front and rear tires. They help prevent water, mud, and road grime from splashing up and soiling your clothes or splashing onto the clothes of your fellow riders. They also help reduce the amount of grit that can get into your bike's moving components. The front fender is constructed of lightweight yet durable plastic that won't break when hit with rocks or other road debris. The rear fender is integrated into the cargo rack and will be located under the wheel when the rack is rotated for use as a kickstand.
