Start with the award-winning design of the road-proven Air Friday. Then beef up the frame, add a suspension fork, tweak the geometry for low-speed performance, widen the forks for 2-inch knobblies. Introducing the latest addition to the Bike Friday line of performance travel bikes:
the Air Llama mountain bike.
The Air Llama adds the performance edge of a titanium seat boom to a responsive and stable mountain bike frame, for incredible off-road performance. The Action Tec steerer tube-based suspension system provides significant comfort and excellent accuracy. The Air Llama simply rocks on the trail. "It will do everything a full-sized bike can do," writes Chris Burgeson in his review for Mountain Bike Magazine, "some things it can actually do better."
You don't have to be a dirt devil to enjoy the Llama. With a rugged frame, double suspension, wide tire versatility, and braze-ons for racks, bottles and fenders, cyclists who prefer mountain bike-style geometry for distance touring will absolutely love the Air Llama.
Like any Bike Friday, this is one mountain bike you can take with you. Pull the suspension boom and the handlebar stem out, release one hex bolt, and your Air Llama fits into a 92cm x 77cm (36"x 30")space. Spend twenty minutes with two included tools and you can pack your Air Llama into the optional Travel Case for fee-free checked baggage travel on most any commercial carrier. Consider the optional Travel Trailer when you want to convert your suitcase into a cargo trailer.
Whether you're a serious rider who needs to train while you travel, a business traveler who wants to take a ride out of the city, or an adventure tourist who needs a rugged, dependable expedition bike, the Air Llama will be your trusty companion when no other bike could even make the trip.
