Allston Belt Drive Folding Bike Folded

Independent Review

“First impressions: It’s a gorgeous bike. The internal hub fits well with the clean lines of the bike’s style. Talking the bike out for its maiden voyage, I was surprised to find no flex at all in the ride, despite the folding mechanism. My old Dahon Matrix 2007 had a bit of flex. This bike has none. The bike really shines on city streets, and getting around Union City and Palo Alto was a blast. Conclusion: This bike is a solid (dare I say perfect?) commuter bike. It’s folds when you need it to, but otherwise it’s a full-size bike.”

“When riding a folding bike, you want a frame with minimal flexing and a full-sized folding bike like the Montague is rock solid. Go ahead and stand up to pedal and you’ll notice the rigid frame, which gives you the confidence for sprints to the next stop-light, or simply to complete the bike path loop at your favorite park. In summary, the Montague makes a perfect urban commuting bike and weekend adventure machine. On the the streets or the trails, this folding bike is loaded with quality components and with the eight speed hub you’ll be zipping to work or along the bike paths with ease. Anyone looking for a comfortable full sized ride with the added flexibility of a folding bike, the Montague is the perfect choice.”

Allston Gates belt drive closeup

Gates Belt Drive

The Allston is equipped with a Gates Carbon Belt Drive. It requires no lubrication, is virtually silent, and is cleaner, lighter weight and longer lasting than a traditional chain. It also won’t stretch over time, maintaining its efficiency for its entire lifespan.

DirectConnect™ Folding System

New since 2016 is the DirectConnect folding system, which removes the quick release from the top tube, provides an easier folding experience and larger clamping surface between the two halves of the frame. A flip of the quick release lever and your bike folds to a compact size.

Shimano Alfine 11

The Allston is powered by a Shimano Alfine 11-speed internal gear hub. This provides a wide gear range for hills, keeps the salt and sand out of your gears, and makes derailleur adjustments a thing of the past.

RackStand

The Allston is equipped with RackStand, a traditional cargo rack, kickstand, workstand, and folded bike stand all in one.
