   ~ go faster farther with less energy


Fox Talas fork with 15mm axle2011 brings lighter weights, custom paint, and the combination of three wheel sizes to our "Fully" line of long travel suspension mountain bikes. We are now able to offer the big front wheel concept to smaller and even larger riders, so anyone can have performance advantages we have benefited from over the last five years. Utilizing two decades of mountain bike testing and development in Moab, Utah, the F-Series continues Dreamride's original design philosophy of long travel cross country from back in the mid 90's. The concept has become kinda popular, don't you think? We started it, if you don't know. But we are not interested in doing the popular thing, we are interested in going faster, and have a tool for prove we still know how to do just that. With very slight refinements we are sticking with the proven four bar linkage rear suspension design that has worked for us for almost ten years because it is pedal efficient, brake neutral, laterally stiff, uncomplicated, clean, elegant--everything it was in the beginning and more. The F-Series formula advantage is in its combinations. We are combining three wheel sizes (26, 650B and 29 inch) to offer three wheel combo choices. We mix 26, 27.5 and 29 inch wheels to give anyone of any size and weight a distinct advantage over varying terrain. All frames are guaranteed free of defects for 3 years from time of purchase. Bikes include invitations to join us in Moab for guided rides, and deals on exotic cycling vacations.

All Dreamride house brand bicycles are handmade in the U.S. Our frames are fabricated by our authorized dealer brands, the cream of in-house manufacturers in the United States. Our steel POE 29er frames are fabricated right here in Moab, Utah. Each Dreamride frame is custom-fitted to your body type, balanced to work with specific component packages to suit your needs on the trail. Each component selection varies according to personal needs and cosmetics. Each bike is designed and constructed, and sometimes painted, by Lee Bridgers, Dreamride owner. Fabrication of each frame is state-of-the-art, whether it is our aluminum F-Series, our rigid titanium 69/29er conversion or the POE, our fully rigid classic steel 29er. The F-Series concept is far ahead of its time.

2009 Dreamride Fully 69

mountain bikesEvolution of the Dreamride F-Series
    ~ the future is here!

With the introduction of the 29er Fox Talas and Marzocchi forks with 15mm front axles for the 2011 model year, F-Series bikes with 29 inch front wheels gets a front end that can aptly balance the bike's insane speed-over-obstacles abilities. More available 650B forks and rims make it possible to offer a new F-68 for shorter riders, from 5'4" to 5'7", creating the same sort of effect of the F-69 to scale. You can also get a 29-650B combo for a light-but-tall rider, or get a straight up Fully 26 wheel front and rear for the smallest riders or anyone wanting the best in snap and slow speed handling. Utilizing the distinct combined advantages of two wheel sizes, the F-69 accelerates quickly, rolls over obstacle more smoothly and handles like nothing before it. Imagine a bike that doesn't blur you out at high speed over rough terrain. Imagine a bike that can roll over, into and out of a three foot drop without lifting the front wheel, . . and make a tight turn at the bottom, too. This is accomplished with a bigger front wheel, the right amount of travel front and rear, and geometry that reflects many years of product testing and development of the 6-9 concept. See below for pricing, component details and frame options. There are many options, but, in general, only one of the wheelsize and component options will be perfect for your body type and riding style, and we will know which one when you give us your numbers and tell us where and how you ride. We are here to help you attain the thing you desire, and to know the things you need for us to know. In addition to custom geometry, travel and custom wheel combinations, the Mutant F-Series comes in two frame tubing versions, light weight and heavy duty.

Dreamride F-Series Bicycles
Every Mutant is different, but some things are tried and true. We use current Shimano and SRAM drivetrain components with ten speed rear cogsets and a very wide range of gearing possibilities.

We build the best wheels possible, always with custom modified Chris King hubsets, and we try to maintain a few matched color sets in stock. We always use Chris King headsets. Saddles are generally WTB with ti rails, but you may substitute Fizik, Brooks or Selle Italia. We use top end forks from Fox and Marzocchi for Mutants with 29 and 26 inch front wheels. Magura forks are an option in the 26 inch wheel category. For Mutants with 650B front wheels, we use White Brothers forks. Prices may vary slightly up or down depending on fork choice.

Dreamride Fully in the shop

     "It is easy to see the attention to detail and no-compromise construction, and you may know about the time-tested parts combos that flow together like braided hair, but do you know how it happens or where the knowledge needed to complete the task comes from?
      "I started tinkering with old cruisers at seven years of age in 1956. In the mid 70's I was still modifying Schwinn cruisers in the Bay Area of Northern California as folks actually started building "mountain bikes" from scratch and the thing caught on. Riding became more and more restricted, so I moved to Colorado to be next to technical singletrack of the Front Range and began working on mountain bike stunts for film, magazines and television. Dreamride began as a mountain bike film service in Moab in 1996, offering hardcore day tours, slickrock skills clinics and freeride demonstrations to the public on the side. See the mountain bike segment of the popular IMAX film, EVEREST for an example of my production and stunt co-ordination. Dreamride's activities routinely and inherently demonstrate flaws and advantages of various designs. As a direct result of our job, Dreamride bikes are about performance, safety, reliability, ease of maintenance and the highest quality--because they HAVE to be. A Dreamride bike looks like a million and a half bucks because it should. It out-performs because it must--because, being an older rider who guides for a living, I need a serious advantage. Anyone who rides with me knows there is something going on here."

Dreamride Fully69 A Beautiful Beast
A bike doesn't have to be pimped to perform, but Dreamride feels that the attention to beauty reflects a commitment to performance that is certainly much more than skin deep. Under the lush paint and anodizing are the highest quality components. Behind the parts and parts combinations is knowledge born of decades of experience. Dreamride Fully-69 ClimbMAX
A Testimonial:
     "The bike is quick, incredibly balanced and drop dead gorgeous. I have been a titanium junky (Lightspeed) for years but I ain’t ever goin’ back. The Fully is sweet, tight and Oh so forgiving without being mushy or inaccurate; you point it and it goes where you want it to; you CAN thread the obstacles but if you want to go over them; go and it laughs out loud! (Or maybe that was me that was laughing). The weight was what I was the most worried about prior to my first ride but it is clear now that movement forward is impeded by vertical movement and the Fully so effectively mitigates the vertical that the small weight penalty is more than offset. This bike feels friggin’ light." ~ Mike Simmons, Taos, New Mexico
