FeaturesReynolds 853 air-hardened steel actually gains strength in the weld zone area allowing Reynolds to draw this tubing thinner, for a lighter, stiffer frame with outstanding "feel". The Dragon features a chainstay/seatstay disc brace that supports our thinwalled stays from loads generated by the disc brakes. White Brothers LOOP TCR 650B fork represents the new benchmark in suspension performance. The innovative Aura damper harnesses the power of magnetism featuring enough rebound, compression and spring adjustments to fine-tune your preferred ride without requiring you to spend half the day knobtwisting. Paired with a sturdy and refined 32mm chassis and the supremely stiff and simple to operate QTapeR15 axle system, the LOOP raises the bar. American Classic Terrain 650B wheels are tubeless with bead barb technology hooks on the tire bead to secure the tires in place without "burping" air. The rim design is fine tuned at 26mm wide to stiffen the wheel and provide strength and precise handling. Schwalbe Racing Ralph dual compound folding tires are low profile and fast rolling but feature "half-open" designed shoulder lugs that result in ultimate control when cornering. A Shimano 3x10 drive train with 42/32/24 crankset and 11-36 cassette… that's 30 speeds for ALL conditions. Shimano's SLX RapidFire shifters offer a "2-way" release, allowing the upper lever to be pulled with the forefinger or pushed with the thumb depending upon rider preference. Shimano's SLX Hollowtech II crankset features a hollow forging for lighter weight and an integrated BB for increased rigidity & pedaling efficiency. Avid's Elixir 5 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. Crank Brothers Iodine 2 stem utilizes an innovative single torx bolt at the steerer tube to adjust an aluminum plunger system to provide a more distributed and uniform clamping pressure, a cleaner surface and allow for much higher torque settings. Jamis lock-on grips feature a dual compound including gel in the palm area for comfort and dual lock rings for no-slip security. The WTB Volt saddle utilizes a "whale tail" pad shape which helps increase power output by properly angling to the sit bones while climbing. A flex tuned shell and a Comfort Zone cut out below the nose increase comfort while riding on the front of the saddle.
