The Bridgestone Mountaineer was the high exhaust trail version of Bridgestone's 90 cc single, built to go off-road. Wikipedia lists it as a variant of the 90 cc model with a high level exhaust. Cycle World's February 1966 trail test describes a single cylinder two-stroke engine with rotary valve induction, built in unit with a four-speed foot-change gearbox, in a pressed metal frame modified from the street version, with teledraulic forks, 17-inch wheels, a high and dry exhaust pipe with a heat shield, a carrying rack and folding pegs. Bridgestone rated the engine at 7.8 hp at 7,000 rpm and claimed a top speed of 60 mph.
