FeaturesReynolds 853 DZB air-hardened chromoly actually gains strength in the weld zone area, instead of losing it like all other welded material, allowing Reynolds to draw this tubing thinner, for a lighter, stiffer frame with outstanding "feel". Heat-treated chromoly rear stays and investment cast dropouts increase torsional stiffness by 30% The Dragon features a chainstay/seatstay disc brace that supports our thinwalled stays from loads generated by the disc brakes. Rock Shox's Reba RL Solo Air 29'er fork features Motion Control, a damping system that allows the rider to easily tune their fork with the desired level of efficiency. Features include magnesium lowers, an external rebound and a lockout lever for on-the-fly adjustments. The Solo Air feature allows air to fill both the positive and negative chambers using a single valve, simplifying suspension setup while retaining a plush ride. American Classic tubeless wheels have taken cross country riding and racing to a higher level of performance. The lightweight and durable deep section rim design is also wide and stiff to translate into quick acceleration. AC 130 and 225 hubs are time proven to be stiff, strong, reliable and still one of the lightest hub sets on the market. Geax is regarded as one of the best tire manufacturers in the world, offering tires with higher thread counts and leading-edge compounds. Their Saguaro's are renowned for offering a light, responsive ride. SRAM's S1000 38/24 crankset is forged out of AL-6066 alloy providing a crank that is both strong and light. SRAM's X9 10-speed rear derailleur features Exact Actuation and Direct Route cable technology for smooth, quick and precise shifting with less effort. SRAM's X9 10-speed shifters have all new redesigned internals and a forged pull lever for greater durability and smooth action. SRAM's PG-1050 11-36T 10-speed cassette performance is optimized by material choice, tooth profile and shift ramp design for quick and positive index shifting. Avid's Elixir 3 offers the same ride quality as the upper end Elixirs with slightly fewer features. The brake features an ambidextrous lever body featuring Tapered Bore technology, easy access tooled reach adjust and a 2-piece caliper all resulting in a light great feeling brake. Ritchey's Pro cockpit parts are manufactured by a 3D-forging process, allowing the part to be three dimensionally shaped in a single step while carefully controlling inner wall thickness. This forging process yields optimal grain structure and eliminates all internal imperfections, allowing Ritchey to use less material without sacrificing strength or durability. Jamis lock-on grips feature a dual compound including gel in the palm area for comfort and dual lock rings for no-slip security. WTB's Silverado Comp saddle features an elongated shell that offers superior racer-body fit. The long narrow length allows the rider more pedaling positions.
