The Dakar XCT trail platform has been completely redesigned, and it's seriously destined for greatness. The all-new carbon fiber frame shared by Dakar XCT 4 and XCT 3 is crazy-light—a mere 1,950 grams, and that's including paint and decals!

This is a genuine piece of rocket science, with a main triangle that's a Dyad lay-up of M30 and T700 high modulus carbon fiber—effectively a beefed-up version of our proven Dakar XCR Team and road racing technologies—with a 1-1/8" – 1.5" tapered head tube for steering precision. Out back, our new mp4 multi-link uses clever strategies like asymmetric chainstays that provide extra lateral stiffness and chain clearance; a slight rising-rate geometry and low wheel travel-to-shock ratio that's super active for rapid response and full-time traction, with a near-bottomless feel.
