arracuda have always strived to be on the cutting edge of fashion and cycling trends. However, does this mean that it is right? Our new in house design, marketing and product team didn’t think so. For 2014 we decided it was time to take a step back, thoroughly research the market and find out what everyday commuters and leisure cyclists want out of their bicycle. Creating the best range of Barracuda bicycles we’ve ever made covering mountain, road, commute, hybrid, comfort and not forgetting our newest range of practical yet highly fashionable vintage bikes. Having an office full of cyclists certainly helped this process along, not only do the guys here ride bikes everyday but across the team they eat, breath and sleep the different categories of the sport. It’s our belief that three key elements combined make up the perfect machine. Firstly the aesthetics, the bike has to look great. Secondly getting the right specification at the right price, ensuring we are offering the most competitive bikes like for like. And last but not least designing the perfect geometry, ensuring the ride is perfect in every way making the rider want to get on their bike time and time again. Creating this range has been a passion for all the team, we hope you can share this with us, hit the road or trail and just pedal. Introducing the all new Barracuda…
Our Draco Series offers a comprehensive range of mountain bikes for riders enjoying a leisurely ride at the weekend across the park with the kids, a commute down the canal path or for the more advanced rider hitting the local trail centre for some serious MTB fun. Covering all wheel sizes (26”, 27.5” and 29”) means we will have the perfect bike for you. The Draco 1 is the first model and this offers a basic simple mountain style bike equipped with full Shimano 18 speed running gear and powerful V-Brakes. The Draco 2 jumps up to bigger wheels (27.5”), has a new lighter frame with trail specific geometry, front suspension forks and rapid fire gear shifting. The Draco 3 has the added upgrade of mechanical disc brakes for riders wanting advanced braking power. The Draco 4 is the pinnacle of the Draco line and comes in both 27.5” and 29” wheel sizes, the bike boasts Shimano Acera derailleur, oversized alloy handle bar and stem, Promax disc brakes and Suntour XCT Suspension forks. The Draco 1, 2 and 3 all come in Barracuda’s Women Specific geometry and colour scheme.
