Cambridge, MA - Montague Corporation, the leader in full-size high-performance bikes that fold, is introducing a new stylish, low price, 18-speed Crossover bike—the DX. This new bicycle uses Montague's patented X-Series folding technology, (technology designed originally for the US military) which enables the bike to fold in less than 30-seconds without the use of tools. At a suggested retail price of $399 the new DX gives riders the chance to own a Montague bicycle at a price that won't blow the budget!

About the DX
Weighing in at 29 pounds the bike can be folded down in less than 30 seconds to a compact 3'x 3'x 1' for portability and storage—no tools needed! The new double-tube frame is exceptionally easy to fold and carry - a perfect choice for the recreational rider who is looking for style, comfort and convenience at an affordable price

About Montague's X-Series Frame
The DX design uses Montague's patented X-Series folding frame—a frame designed under funding from DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) for the US military. The bicycle frame was designed to be tough enough to drop from a plane; durable enough to traverse any terrain and move at high speeds; and easy enough to fold into a portable size. Using this X-Series frame, Montague is now launching the DX to the consumer market providing riders with a tough and durable product with a sleek and stylish look at an affordable price.

About Montague Corporation
Based in Cambridge, MA. Montague Corporation is the pioneer of Folding Integrated Technology (FIT), deemed to be one of the next-generation trends in the bicycle industry. Unlike other folding bike manufacturers Montague prides itself on being, first and foremost, a manufacturer of high performance bikes with an integrated technology that enables them to fold.

In a recent interview, Chris Carmichael (Lance Armstrong's coach) likened the impact of Montague's frame on the bike industry to the impact of the Walkman on the music industry:

"Think about what the Walkman did for music." —Chris Carmichael

Now consumers have the opportunity to own a bike that folds to fit their lifestyle without compromising their style!

The DX is available for purchase at a suggested retail price of $395.00. For more information on the DX or other Montague models please call 800-736-5348 or visit our website at www.montaguebikes.com.
