DROP GROUND MOBILITY The Paratrooper Tactical Mountain
Bike was designed as ground mobility for the paratrooper. It
is a sturdy, durable full size Mountain Bike, designed to fold so the bike
can be dropped on a static line. Once on the ground the bike is unfolded
and serves as effective, efficient and stealthy ground transportation,
allowing easy evacuation upon completion of a mission.
LAV
/ RECONNAISSANCE SCOUT Using the Paratrooper Tactical Mountain
Bike in conjunction with LAR's, allows the company increased mobility and
security. The Paratrooper Reconnaissance model folds so you can attach
it to the side of vehicle and serves as back- up transportation. The Paratrooper
is a stealthy recon/scout vehicle able to travel with little to no thermal
and acoustic signatures.
ALTERNATIVE
TO FOOT SOLDIER The Paratrooper Tactical Mountain
Bike offers the most efficient form of human powered transportation available.
Men on mountain bikes have off-body load bearing, can traverse any terrain,
move at high speeds without breakdown, and can refuel themselves with local
water and food. It is also a great moral builder - the guys really enjoy
traveling around on a bike rather than on foot.

Folding Integrated Technology (F.I.T)
Patented Technology: Out patented
seat tube folding system preserves the structural integrity and inherent
strength of traditional bicycle geometry. Unlike all other folding bikes,
there are no wobbly hinges and no structural tubes cut in half.
Quick Releases: No tools are
needed to fold and unfold the Paratrooper. Just open one quick release
lever on the top tube and remove the front wheel. Folds in under thirty
seconds without tools.
Safety Lock: Recessed drop out
for quick release prevents frame from folding even with quick release not
tightened.
