A Jeep mountain bike conjures up pictures of the rugged comfort, and performance with visual appeal, of the well-known vehicle. This is exactly what this bike range offers.

The company has created options in all different aspects of mountain biking, from children to adults, full suspension to hardtail, freeride and other models.

Jeep mountain bike frames are tough and good-looking, and have a limited lifetime warranty. Jeep only uses components from the most respected names in mountain biking. They have developed a range that will satisfy anyone who appreciates the Jeep tradition, but wants to use pedal power as a green option to energy consumption!

Young riders are catered for with the Jeep Mountain Bike Commando range. In the Commando TJ20, the exclusive T-Youth frame, hand brake, and coaster brake spells safety and control. A kickstand, fender, and padded frame are standard features. The Commando TSI model sports full suspension, with a twist shift 7-speed drive-train.

The adult range Jeep mountain bikes include Full, and Dual Suspension models.

The flagship is the New Jeep Rubicon All Wheel Drive line, designed to tackle the toughest terrain with tenacity. The Jeep Mountain Bike Rubicon Classic and Rubicon Sport harness the advanced innovative All Wheel Drive system, featuring an engagement clutch for a 'shift-on-the-fly' option.

The bottom-line is vastly improved front wheel traction on any terrain, come sand, snow, mud, or rain. The system can also be engaged when losing traction in the back wheel, and adds power to the front. Smooth power transmission are offered by spiral cut gears. This Jeep mountain bike offers all-round improvement in control. Whether climbing, or descending, you will feel the grip on the ground. Slippery slopes are no threat to these bikes.

Another toughie is the Wrangler SE Jeep Mountain Bike . This is built on Jeep's teardrop aluminum chassis, and has a solid Jeep shock fork. It is not a dual suspension bike, but a hardtail Jeep mountain bike, with the ability to climb effortlessly, and to cope equally well with light trails or city biking. Gear shifting is easy, and the brakes have strong and dependable stopping ability.

The Jeep Mountain Bike Cherokee Sahara Dual Suspension gives performance and comfort in a high-tech bike. It has a 21-speed drive-train, easy-twist gear shifter, and an all-aluminum linkage dual suspension, as well as extra frame gussets for strength. It has metal pedals, disc brakes, and Kenda knobbly tires for grip.

If you are battling to fit this Cherokee Jeep mountain bike into your suitcase, you should perhaps consider the Jeep Cherokee Folding Bike as an alternative...

The 20" folding mountain bike takes up only 8 cubic feet of space. It takes only a few seconds to have your ride ready for the trail. The full suspension frame makes for a smooth ride, and the 6-speed indexed gear shifting loves to take to the hills. It includes mudguards, and a kickstand.

In the past, the Jeep mountain bike range has been seen as a good, reasonably priced option for beginners.

Many improvements later, with the Rubicon at the ready, even the big boys may just start to glance furtively in the direction of these Jeep mountain bikes...
