I have a warranty issue with a non-DRAG component on a DRAG bike. What should I do?
“3rd party” components (e.g. SRAM or Shimano) are warrantied directly by that manufacturer. Separate warranty information for these parts should have been included with your bike when you purchased it. Contact your nearest Authorized Retailer for assistance.
Sizing
What size bike do I need?
Before buying your bicycle you must find the right bike size. The right bike size depends on the bike model, flexibility and the following personal measurements: inseam, trunk, forearm, arm, thigh, lower leg, total height. We do not currently offer an online bike size calculator. We advise you purchase your DRAG bike from our DragZone stores or authorized dealers where our specialists have the expertise and experience in choosing the right frame size that fits you properly.
29er versus 27.5 versus 26 inch – which is best for me?
Current standards for wheel size of mountain bikes are 26”, 27.5”, 29”. The size 26″ is less common in new bikes. Each of these types has advantages and disadvantages. The higher the rider is, the more comfortable he/she will be with the big wheels. For cyclists with180 cm height 29” bikes are the best choice for most types of riding. 29-inch bicycles are also preferred from cross-country riders, regardless of their height. They provide the lightest bike more stability in downhill, good speed on the ground.
On the other hand, in some situations the big wheels are not that maneuverable, they appear more difficult to accelerate. In disciplines such as enduro, downhill and freeride most suitable bikes are 26” or 27.5”.

Can I get spare parts for my bike?
Visit our DragZone store, authorized dealer or send email to support@dragbicycles.com, specifying what spare parts you need.
What are the differences between the materials used?
Which material you choose depends on many factors—your style of riding, your weight, your sense of adventure.
Aluminum
Aluminum is widely used on today’s bikes. It is light, strong and stiff. It gives a solid ride for climbing, or lively handling in tight situations. It is heavier than carbon fiber and lighter than steel.
Carbon Fiber
Carbon fiber is increasingly used for higher end bikes. The fibers are bound together with glue to create a ply which are put together to form a laminate, making it strong like plywood. Carbon fibre is very tough as well as lighter than aluminium and since light weight is often sought by cyclists it has become popular in recent years. All racing bikes are made from carbon fiber. Its disadvantage is that it is brittle and once broken cannot be repaired, unlike metal.
I have a bike with a rigid fork, can I put a suspension fork on it?
It depends which model you have and what riding style you practice. Please, email us your DRAG Bicycle model and give short description of your riding style. We will be pleased to recommend you compatible products for your needs.
Can I put my carbon frame on a car rack?
Yes you can, but only if you make sure not to clamp or squeeze the frame tubing.
What is the difference between TE, Pro and Comp versions of the same model?
TE (Team edition) specifies the highest class bike equipment.
Pro is mid range.
Comp is basic, entry-level model.
How do I set up my fork and suspension correctly?
Check our Product manual
Helmets
I crashed my helmet do I need to change it?
Yes, you have to.
Is a more expensive helmet better than cheaper one?
Expensive helmets are lighter and more comfortable because they have more ventilation but this does not necessarily mean they will perform better in a crash.
Bicycle helmets are not designed to last and should be replaced after several years or after a serious crash.
