from Buffalo, NY, United StatesDate Reviewed: February 7, 2012
Strengths: Sexy as hell, Blue STEEL. STRONG. I had someone clip me get their foot stuck between my rim and frame and broke nothing on the bike. The other guy on the trek was not so lucky.
Easily adjustable for multiple riding positions. I am a commuter and enjoy the riding position. You feel as though you are well seated within the bike. Weight falls just infront of the rear wheel.Weaknesses: NONE, I found that putting slicks (Big Apples) on this bike made it a beast in the streets. I only wish that it had frame mounts for a rack.Bottom Line: Best bike for the price. Quality Frame, Strong
Favorite Trail: STREETS!
Duration Product Used: 2 Years

Strengths: Overall value: quality cromo frame, decent parts spec for the money.Weaknesses: Really nothing so far. Avid Juicy 3 brakes have a bad reputation but after about 10 hrs of riding are working great. Top/head/downtube junction seems underbuilt and may prove flexy, but not a problem so far in rough rock gardens.Bottom Line: I wanted to get a quick review in for anyone thinking about buying, with the idea to update down the line. My initial rides on this bike have been on very rough trails and the bike has exceeded expectations. Frame is just what you would want - slight flex to smooth things out but responsive in climbs and turns. he headtube junction seems to leave room for a lot of flex up front but I've had no problems and that's just based on looks. Solid wheelset and tires are nicer than competitors at this price. Some of the more suspect parts are all working great: Juicy 3 brakes are very good so far, SRAM crank is an older design but working well. Tora TK fork's coil sping is a little wimpy for my 215 lbs, but it's working really well and the lockout is impressive for a lower end fork. Pretty paint job chips pretty easily is my only real gripe.

a Weekend Warrior
from Fair Haven, NJDate Reviewed: March 28, 2011
Strengths: Climbs up and over roots very well. Comfortable ride. Looks great. Great value for $.Weaknesses: None so far.Bottom Line: I'm a big guy, 6'2' 225 and basically a weekend warrior when it comes to riding. This bike makes me a lot better, despite me being somewhat out of shape and a little overweight. My Dragon Sport 29 is a major improvement over my 10 year old Trek 6500. The 29 format allows me to climb easier and ride more confidently. I climbed up and over roots and trunks that I wouldn't event attempt before. It's amazing the difference between this 29er and my old 26 Trek. The steel frame is very comfortable and absorbs the bumps better. I didn't feel as "beat up" after a one hour ride. The hydraulic Juicy brakes work well. You get a lot of value and decent components for $1050. Love the classic Dragon frame with the blue paint. Very happy with it!
