For years, steel was the racing standard. And we wrote the book on cross-country steel. These might look like old school rigs, but there’s nothing outdated or outmoded about the way they blaze down the trail. For guys who know how to ride and flow, these bikes are absolute scorchers.

Reynolds 853 and 631 air-hardened steel gives the Dragon’s chassis lightweight strength and an amazingly supple ride. Power up on the pedals and you’ll simply feel…energized. This is a frame that gives as much as it gets, so the harder you push it the better it feels.

Perfect geometry is more than mere lengths and angles. It’s knowing where to place the cable stops for the most frictionless routing, it’s designing dropouts that help shore up the critical seatstay/chainstay junction, it’s knowing precisely how 853 steel stiffens in the weld zone, and using that to advantage when it comes to butting the tubes for ride tuning.

Whether you’re after the no-holds-barred Pro, the race-ready Comp, or want to use the custom-painted 15th anniversary Team frameset as the starting point for your dream bike, one thing is for sure—you’re not just getting the best steel chassis money can buy. You’re getting the benefit of nearly two decades of hard-won, off-road racing know-how. And you can take that to the trailhead.
