Best Folding Bike Reviews Buying Guide
Below I have compiled a short list of what I believe are the best folding mountain bikes around currently – I have provided a short review of each of the models and am hoping they will aid you in your search for the perfect model for you. I personally love folding mountain bicycles, as you will see below, particularly because they are essentially the perfect hybrid bike for on and off-road cycling – whilst also providing the capacity to transport them to and from the workplace (relatively easily). I currently own the Montague Paratrooper Pro, however there are various models out there that are easily as good – and available at a much more affordable price too!

We believe this gives users the best overview of what to expect with each of these bicycles.
1 - Montague Paratrooper Pro
Review Rating: 8.9/10
Another gorgeous folding mountain bike, and the one that I personally own. Manufactured by the bike giant Montague, this model stands out among the best of them. It has a premium price, but pays it off effortlessly with the outstanding quality it offers to a wide range of riders.
This mountain bike will handle beautifully wherever you take it and show you that a folding bicycle can indeed compete with the top of the range ordinary non-folding models too. An absolute beast both on-road and off-road, it is no wonder this bike has garnered such popularity over a number of years. A real gem produced by Montague, and one that they can be truly proud of.
2 - Cyrusher FR100
Review Rating: 8.1/10
As I stated in my full review of this gorgeous folding mountain bike, this model will deliver again and again – a truly outstanding bike! Despite there being a wide range of other premium folding mountain bicycles around, this is undoubtedly one of the best. Not only is it superb on and off the road, it also takes an absolute beating and after substantial use will show very little signs of wear.
Built using extremely high quality components, this bike is a keeper and is not one to bat your eyelids at whatsoever. Cyrusher have done a wonderful job in producing this idyllic mountain bike!
3 - Stowabike V2
Review Rating: 7.8/10
We were very impressed by the latest folding mountain bike on offer by Stowabike – the Stowabike V2. It is a considerable improvement over its predecessor and for that reason we see it as one of our favorites.
4 - Xspec 26"
Review Rating: 7.9/10
Another looker makes our list of the best folding mountain bikes, however that is not all the Xspec 26″ folder boasts. It is also modestly priced and provides exceptional value for money, handling really well off-road despite being made out of cheaper components (relative to the more premium models found on our list).
5 - Stowabike V1
Review Rating: 7.0/10
One of the cheaper models on our list, and it makes it in at number 4 as one of the best folding mountain bikes for that exact reason. Many folding mountain bikes are extortionately priced, however this is not the case with Stowabike’s 26″ folding mountain bicycle – you get an absolute bargain for your money here, so if you find yourself on a tight budget – look no further!
