The Jamis Dragon is a steel-hearted legend, Reynolds 520 butted chromoly, one of the most tested, proven tubesets made. Famously dialed hardtail geometry, tweaked for 29" hoops, and you get a smoothly efficient ride that's the benchmark for resilience and response, the yardstick by which other bikes are measured. Surly's handmade Karate Monkey rigid Steel fork for added rigidity and response, when you need it most-Climbing. This beast has slayed countless mountains, hills, valleys, trails, cities. This bike's only limitation is the rider. It will wear you down, it will make you cry, it will humble you, it will make you stronger, better, faster, you will eat hills for breakfast, and mountains for lunch. Who needs gears? when you have legs of steel and a Dragon as your steed. No suspension? No problem, the huge 29er tires act like their own pneumatic suspension system, without the complexity of modern day suspension forks. No hassle, no BS. This is no ordinary bike, this is a simple, durable, and versatile machine that will take care of you(instead of the other way around) Why Hydraulic Disc brakes? The Dragon was built to accelerate on a dime. This bike knows how to take care of business when it needs to, and can keep you safe when you need it. Whether you're riding in the city, Firetrails, Single-Track, or off road, this is your go to setup for all things gnarly. Simplicity blended perfectly with practicality.
