Dakota Race is our grassroots racer, the bike that exists at that sweet spot where the intersecting curves of performance, speed, fun and price intersect.

We engineered Dakota dXC Race’s chassis to make the most of lightweight, triple-butted Kinesis SuperLight tubing, incorporating a semi-integrated head tube and down tube gussets for strength and steering precision, with a feathery light carbon monostay that smooths the ride and enhances rear-end traction without compromising pedaling efficiency.
