NUA DRAC PINION
Pure titanium all-mountain performance, built for trails without limits.
Drac, dragon in Catalan, is our titanium hardtail built for riders who want modern trail performance without sacrificing durability or character. Its stylized Grade 9 titanium frame carries a timeless aesthetic, yet every line reflects progressive, contemporary MTB design.
Designed around a modern long, low, and slack geometry, the Drac features a 65° head angle and extended wheelbase for stability and confidence on demanding descents. At the same time, it remains responsive and efficient on climbs and flowing singletrack. Rolling on 29” wheels with clearance for up to 2.6” tyres, it delivers traction, comfort, and control across varied terrain.
At its core sits the centrally mounted Pinion gearbox, paired with a Gates Carbon Belt Drive. Fully sealed and protected from impacts, it eliminates exposed derailleurs and significantly reduces maintenance. With evenly spaced gearing, smooth power transfer, and long service intervals, the system is engineered for reliability in real-world trail conditions.
True to Nua’s philosophy, the Drac also maintains versatility beyond pure trail riding. Multiple mounting points for bottle cages, racks, and cargo solutions allow it to transition from aggressive trail sessions to bikepacking adventures.
The Nua Drac Pinion is a titanium hardtail for riders who value technical trail capability, drivetrain durability, and long-term reliability, without compromise.
