If you're racing XC and you're committed to 26" hardtails, anything less than Dakota dXC means you're not on the bike you deserve.
Get on top of the gear, blur the crank, spin those wheels and you'll be making time on the trail like you've strapped into a jetpack. But there's no black magic here—just black science.
Dakota dXC is the current state of hardtail art, with a new Dyad XC Elite carbon lay-up that's lighter, stiffer and snappier. This is seriously built for speed, with asymmetric chainstays that harness every pedal stroke, and vertically compliant full-length seatstays that keep the rear tire planted and tracking as you extract everything possible from the burly 1-1/8" – 1.5" tapered head tube and the steering control it provides.
Dakota dXC is our very finest hardtail technology. This is us at the top of our game. And it'll put you on top of yours.
