Yeah, for sure. IMO, it's a totally different bike. I think naming it the Dragon was a mistake. The Dragon 26/ 29 are geo'd like XC bikes. The 650b is geo'd more like an AM bike. I'd say it's about perfect for what I'd ride as a HT on trails. I'm still hoping for a beefier version of the SixFifty Bx dually that you could build in the upper-20's to 30# range for an Aggro-"B".
