06 MR question

Hey guys I am currently looking at picking up an 06 MR and I cant seem to find any articles or specs that tell me if the rear seats fold down..

Anyone know? I have a mountain bike that I want to be able to fit in the back (instead of putting it on the roof).

Thanks for any help.

and don't listen to the haters that say "hitch on a evo??? HAHA"
i have this and it works great. i pull my 400lb 4 wheeler with it on a aluminum trailer and it pulls it better than my toyota truck ever did AND gets better gas
mileage!!!

just get a trailer hitch bike rack that has 1 1/4" reciever and your set.

nope, if it is the MR, then it has aluminum roof then you cannot "ever" put a roof rack or carrier in it unless you want it dented.

There's an X-brace behind the rear set to add to its structural rigidity. The Evo isn't a utility vehicle; it's a street-legal racecar.

if you take both wheels off the bike it fits in there no problem... i have actually put two bikes in there many times before.

forget the MR, get the regular evo 9 with HID, leather interior and moon roof.
just buy the shark fins and get your choice of shocks.

the car is not an MR, but if you look at where the racks sit, its not on the roof like most racks are. That part of the car is not aluminum like the roof is.
