DETROIT
- As the new HUMMER H2's popularity continues, General Motors.
HUMMER division is providing its customers a large selection
of new and unique accessories. The HUMMER brand is poised
to capitalize on the $27 billion U.S. auto accessories market.
Enhancing
the ownership experience with innovative HUMMER accessories
The
HUMMER Tactical Mountain Bike, designed by Montague Corporation
- the worlds leading supplier of military bikes, offers
the strength of a military vehicle along with the ultimate
freedom, convenience and portability that an outdoor enthusiast
desires. The bike has a patented folding system that was
developed to allow Paratroopers an easy exit from military
aircraft with a full size mountain bike. Once on the ground,
the bike can unfold and traverse terrain silently at high
speeds, with no thermal or acoustic radar signature. The
bike also is used in conjunction with LAV's (Light Armored
Vehicles) and HMMWV's as backup transportation and to facilitate
battlefield reporting.
Made
of lightweight aircraft grade aluminium and capable of extreme
off-road riding, the HUMMER Tactical Mountain Bike folds
simply without the use of tools. By turning one quick release
lever, the bike compacts in less than 30 seconds into a
3'x3'x1' pack for easy portability and storage in an H2,
closet, or boat.
"Teaming
up with Montague demonstrates a new approach to accessories
and vehicle personalization," said Nancy Philippart,
GM SPO executive director - GM Accessories Business Channel.
"Montague is a forward-thinking company and is
recognized for its technology, design and innovation."
"The
HUMMER Tactical Mountain bike is a good example of how we
plan to leverage the brand," said Marc Hernandez,
HUMMER marketing director. "It compliments the
H2's military origins, capabilities and the premium nature
of the vehicle. The bike also provides an opportunity to
bring the HUMMER experience to a wider audience."
