Drag Raijin is made from a new generation carbon material. It uses a combination of high-quality fabrics from T700 and T800. This makes the frame significantly stiffer and more durable compared to aluminum equivalents. Stiffness and strength are key qualities for control and safety on downhill racing tracks.
The frame offers 3 positions for the length of the the chainstay. This allows for changing the wheelbase in 5 mm increments. Depending on the cyclist's personal preferences and the track conditions, the chainstay can be set to Short, Medium, or Long (440mm/445mm/450mm) length for both wheel sizes 29' and 27.5’’.
Raijin can be switched between a 29/29 and mixed 29/27.5. The full 29er provides good grip and stability, which is especially suitable for fast tracks or overcoming large obstacles. The mixed configuration combines the stability and control of 29'' wheel, with the playful and maneuverable behavior of 27.5''. Especially suitable for bike parks, tracks with tighter turns, and anywhere more maneuverability is needed.
Another adjustment option is provided by the three possible positions of the central axis/ main pivot, allowing for different suspension progression ranging between 20-28%
