For decades, America has had a love affair with the Jeep. Used by the military, park rangers, and hard-core outdoor enthusiasts, the Jeep has come to symbolize rugged versatility. We dig Jeeps because they can pretty much go anywhere and do anything. They are right at home whether they happen to be scrambling up a rocky incline, cruising to the beach, or simply running to the grocery store. Jeeps just do it all and look cool doing it.

People love the Escape series for the same reason. Escape owners will tell you they chose one because they wanted a bike that could do it all. Dirt jumping. Urban assault. All-mountain. Even a little mellow cross-country riding. Think the fun stops there? We've heard that people have been known to cruise the boardwalk and commute to work on their Escapes, too. Rugged versatility.

Each Escape starts out with a burly alloy hardtail frame designed to take the abuse. You're more likely to fold before your frame will. Then we choose components that are strong, but not so heavy that they'll weigh you down. Heavy parts are just a drag. And as a final touch, we give each Escape sweet paint and graphics. After all, you might as well look good, right? It's the perfect package.

Go anywhere. Do anything. Escape.
