When I add it to my cart, it displays as " 2011 Montague Paratrooper Mountain Bike". What is the difference between 2011 version vs 2014 version?

Minor difference in technical specs and / or components. As far as I can tell, the last significant change was around 2010 when they went to a rear disc brake. The 2014 spec shows shimano derailleurs which I think is a fairly recent change as in earlier models they used SRAM derailleurs. Overall, I don't think it's worth losing much sleep over... The Paratrooper is really solid bike in my opinion.

Its the same model for all years, its a low end bike unlike higher end brands that change model every year. Hope this helps

The website has answers. It is not the world's lightest mountain bike. I bought mine 2 years ago, and it weighed in at 34 pounds delivered, 10% more than the specs promised. This is the 18 inch. As for materials, frame, handlebars, most of the fork, and the wheels are aluminum. My seatpost is steel. Having said that - trust the Montague website, as the components probably can vary over time.

If you're referring to the higher price of the 2014 edition vs the 2013 edition, the difference lies in the cost of the new components. The Extruder and Bed are made of aluminum now, instead of Plywood. The material is more expensive, but better quality, thus the price increase.

Yep. You will be angry.Mine arrived today from TRD Trading. Guess what? It's a i9023 intended for Europe (this model has a google.fr sticker on it).I will post photos today. It's going back and I expect a full refund. Amazon's listing is totally misleading and incorrect.Very frustrating.

I purchased this on October 15th direct from Amazon. It wasn't the 2014 version, but the 2012-2013 version. But I noticed the product image has changed to the 2014 version after I purchased it.

I have 2 packages from 2013 and this appears to be the same as those. However, is the 2014 blend out? I don't think it typically comes out until Spring. I may be wrong. You can ask a Starbuck's store, they will definitely know.

yes. it's one of the special deals where limited number of bikes were sold for only 60 bucks. It sold out within 30 sec of the offer. lol ...You can check the next deals by clicking the penguin on the upper left corner of amazon home page. good luck.

It is the latest version and either made in '13 or '14. Keep in mind the warranty starts when you purchase the machine, not when it is made.

Hi there. I am not sure the one I purchsed it for I just bought on Black Friday 2013. So I am not sure it the one I purchased is the 2011 version or not.

It may be the fully adjustable handlebar on the 2013 (not available on the 2014), and also the 2013 blue color may be preferred.It also depends on which store is selling it.

This is the v2 with the yellow label on the back. Not sure if that means 2014 or not but it is the improved/fixed one.

I have no clue? Good question. But I do have an answer, and/or solution for you:Go to www.biketiresdirect.com , they have your cleats in black (no float), as I assume you want the older "Delta" version. They are also bi-material. Black is "no-float" and the red has a slight rotation to it, hence, float. Either way biketiresdirect is a decent place to buy on-line, i.e., they only sell "bike gear". They also have an 800 number so you can call them and get exactly what you want! Trust me, I run a $15,000 ride, so I wouldn't steer you wrong. Good luck. Again, Black=no float, Red and grey cleats have float, one more than the other.Cheers! Gary, Grove City, Ohio I have no clue? Good question.

It's the newest model and everything on the pole is updated for better use in general. For more detail, we recommend you check out http://youtu.be/DSm_fRPS_tk which features the 2014 model and also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m04WT3y5w7Q which features the previous model.

I assume that I bought the 2013 model. I got it for my nephew for Christmas 2012. It is the orange bike with one hand brake. It does, in fact, have air in the tires. They are not plastic. It is actually a nice little bike, but unfortunately, my nephew (almost 2 yrs old) is sort scared of it. I guess he's not quite ready.
