For some riders, steel will always be the ultimate frame material, with ride quality, resonance and resilience that’s unmatched. And if that’s the philosophy you subscribe to, Dragon is the pinnacle of that lofty performance peak.

We cut our teeth on steel hardtails when mountain bikes were a new thing, when steel was all there was, and geometry made all the difference in the world. And we kept chipping away at it, fine-tuning our geometry while taking advantage of ever-lighter, ever-stronger tubesets and better components. And somewhere along the way, we built ourselves a reputation for crafting the very best steel performers on the trail.
