The grand pooh-bah of rugged and dependable transportation,
Jeep, have done it again with its new line of SUVs priced from $200
to $2,700. Nice price, you say? Of course, these vehicles are
human-powered SUVs, better known as mountain bikes (What,
did you really think they were cars?). But that doesn't mean
they can't withstand the same untamed terrain as their mammoth
4-wheeled brethren. Featuring unisex "Y" frames of
durable aluminum or steel and high quality Shimano (i.e., "the
latest") components, Jeep's newest contribution is sure to
make any backcountry trail feel like a smooth, asphalt sidewalk.
Suited for both recreational and extreme riders, some bikes even
come with extra-padded spring seats for superior crotch-cushioning.
