The Jamis Dragon is one of our most storied, revered chassis. Always steel, with its incredibly resilient ride. Always fast, with our superbly tuned geometry that maximizes traction and handling. This is the rig that built our reputation in mountain biking’s early years, and it’s a legend that’s clearly still going strong – 2013 marks the 20th anniversary of the Dragon.
Best of all, it’s a legend that’s available with big hoops. Mating a 29er’s roll-over-everything momentum with steel’s trail-taming ride is an absolute winning combination.
Reynolds 853 air-hardened/heat-treated steel gets pressed into service for our no-compromise Dragon 29 Race, with Reynolds 520 pipes getting the call for Dragon 29 Sport, which gives that same legendary Reynolds ride quality -- taking trail harshness out of your backside -- while saving some cash for your wallet. Both offer a parts pick that’s pure Jamis in its attention to detail and performance.
