The story of Drag bikes - like many success stories in and outside the bike industry - began in a garage in 1989, with repairs and the sale of parts. Drag was founded in 2000, and today the portfolio ranges from urban bikes and children's bikes to road and track racers and mountain bikes. The Ronin stands out among the mountain bikes. This 29er aluminum fully with 150 millimeters at the front and 140 millimeters is available in five versions. The "5.0 SLX" version doesn't exactly make your mouth water when it comes to the components. It comes with a Rock Shox 35 fork and a Deluxe Select damper as well as a 1x12 SLX Shimano drivetrain, a KS Dropper Post, Hans Dampf tires and wheels with WTB rims with Shimano hubs. At the latest when you look at the price tag, you can't help but salivate: the aforementioned "5.0 SLX" rolls out of the store for an incredible 2,245 euros.

If you want to buy a drag bike right now, you'll have to come up with something. While the manufacturer has a good presence in specialist dealers in its home market of Bulgaria, the specialist dealer network abroad is much thinner. The closest store with drag bikes for the Swiss is in South Tyrol. The only store in Germany is on the Baltic Sea and therefore not exactly a stone's throw away. If you don't want to be discouraged by this, Drag also delivers directly to Swiss customers via its own online store, even free of charge for orders over 1250 euros. The only thing you'll need are pedals and some manual skills for the final assembly of the bike.
