Dreamride Fully
~ full custom long travel for XC racing and all mountain
From the originator of light-weight, long-travel cross country mountain bikes, the Fully is a philosophy. Each Dreamride Fully is handmade from the ground up, custom fitted and balanced with tested parts for your specific body and intended use. Sure it's pretty, but the fact that it makes you go farther faster with less energy is the best reason to own one.
Forget one-size-fits-all. Forget silly shaped tubing and jacked-up rear suspension designs that flex laterally as much as they move vertically. Forget bikes that come in a box from China. The Fully is a personalized trail bike with perfect form and fit, effectively customized for your body, trails and riding style. An elegant Ventana rear suspension employs quad bearings at every pivot point and strong CNC machined yokes to keep you on line. Each Fully integrates frame construction and component choices to suit specific needs. Our paintbox includes two front wheel sizes (26 or 29 inch), the option for heavy duty tubing (2" downtubes on HD and Fully69), extra gusseting (Mutant HD), as well as a selection of stock paint choices. The result is a faster, safer, more efficient machine that looks like a million bucks. Nothing comes close in quality, performance and classic beauty at any price level. Those who own a Fully know. If you ride with someone on a Fully, even if you are stronger, you will be watching his (or her) ass disappear on the trail in front of you. With a solid background in parts testing and overall bike design, the Fully is the best mountain bike we can produce at this point in time. It is designed to pedal over rough ground and react to every impulse as if it were part of your body.

Dreamride Fully 69
~ the future is here!
Utilizing advantages of both 26 and 29 inch wheels in combination with long travel rear suspension, the Fully69 accelerates like a 26er, rolls like a 9er and takes on the rough terrain expected of a Fully. Motorcycle manufacturers learned long ago that acceleration, strength and rigidity of a smaller wheel in the rear, along with bump-eating abilities and stablity-at-speed of a larger front wheel, combine for better performance in just about every situation. See below for pricing, component details and frame options.
$8425 ~ Fully 69 ClimbMAX HD
$7295 ~ Fully 69 SuperEgo (HD option ~ $200 additional)
The Fully 69 ClimbMAX and SuperEgo (see components listed directly below) comes with a Fox F-29 120mm fork and custom 26/29 wheelset capable of delivering solid performance at speed and over rough trail. 6 inches of plush rear wheel travel combine with 5 inches of front travel augmented by the unique qualities of the 29 inch wheel. The 6-9 combo takes advantage of the best qualities of both wheel sizes by putting the right size wheel in the place it works best. The front wheel rolls over trail rubble and obstacles of all kinds and builds momemtum at speed. The 26 inch rear wheel is rigid, strong, accelerates with snap and keeps gear ratios where they should be, while the additional travel in the rear allows the rear end to follow the big wheel's lead without problems. The Fully 69er can also come in the HD format for larger or more aggressive riders, or you can opt for a SuperEgo build or a hybrid of ClimbMAX and SuperEgo parts, as pictured. See below for parts variations within the three models. Price includes build, hardshell flight packing case and shipment to your door (within the continental United States). NO TAX OUT OF UTAH.

26er or 69er MRC (Moab Rental Clone) means options to delete the flight case, to substitute selected Moab-tested parts that have served us well within our rental fleet and/or substitute parts currently on sale and in stock in our shop. Substitutions include mid-range forks, saddles, hubs, and Shimano and SRAM components that offer similar operational performance when compared to the extreme upper level parts in grouppos above. The sole objective of MRC is to bring the price down without sacrificing strength or function. If you choose to delete the Serfas flight case, we subsitute a reuseable cardboard case with velcro closures and foam padding. Using all these subitutions, combined with deletion of the case, will bring the cost of a Fully26 to under $5000.
5" travel is recommended for riders under 5'5" tall. 5" travel frames include internally double butted front triangle and specific component choices designed for light weight. Bike weight hovers around 24.5 to 27 pounds with 5" travel Fullies, depending on tire choice and lower level component subsitutions. The Mutant HD build for taller, heavier, and more agressive riders may require an X-frame modification (additional $150) for strength.
"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."

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.
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
Details, details, details.
We begin with the best four bar linkage rear end we could find. A custom fitted and highly detailed front triangle is set to match six (or five, for smaller riders) inches of suspension travel with a specific balanced parts combination that suits your riding style, your body and your trails. The Fully is based on 50 years of off-road riding experience and 10 years of product testing, design, fabrication and development on the rough terrain of Moab, Utah.

Call the same number in Moab, Utah for an appointment at our private shop. It is best to make appointments at least a week in advance during peak season months.
Each and every Dreamride Fully comes in a hardshell flight case.
Every bike is carefully packed into a Serfas case. We anticipate rough handling in transit with foam tubing, strapping and careful placement. The Serfas case is sized to fit within reasonable shipping-rate categories. Lockable steel latches for security. Wheels and hand-strap for transport through airports. Pictures of your bike carefully packed in the case are posted along with maintenance and reassembly info on your personal webpage.
Combine your Fully purchase with a Moab mountain bike vacation.
Dreamride offers a special vacation package for those purchasing a Fully. The package includes many personal touches such as complete privacy for a single client, special lodging deals and guiding by Lee Bridgers, company owner and Fully designer and builder. Click on THE PACKAGE for info.
Fit a Fully into your budget.
As long as you can stomach $5K for a new bike, we can manipulate parts combos to suit your budget. Extreme high end builds produce absolute no-compromise bikes, but parts choices are always subject to the use they will see. Builds that venture into enduro/freeride are actually less expensive because we understand that snapping a $75 derailleur is better than crushing a $200 derailleur. We do insist on a high level of quality, but cannot ignore the value and performance of proven mid-range components we use in Moab for our rental fleet bikes. No parts list is set in stone. Each bike is a custom one-off and each client gets the attention he or she needs to get the bike of their dreams.
