RALEIGH ENTERS A NEW DIMENSION.

Every cyclist has a vision of the perfect partnership between rider and machine; a partnership where every effort is fully rewarded, every challenge met and conquered.
The perfect partner should be eager in the climb, lively in the sprint and handle with pinpoint precision, giving its rider that indefinable ‘edge’ that is the vital difference between a leader and a follower.
Now the perfect partnership is a vision no more: a new dimension of performance, responsiveness and efficiency has become a reality.
What others merely promise, Dyna-Tech truly delivers.

THE STRENGTH AT THE HEART OF A DYNA-TECH FRAME.

The Dyna-Tech process pioneered by Raleigh’s Special Products Division completely changes the way frames are built and dramatically improves the performance they deliver.
A high-technology bonding material is combined with performance-enhanced Reynolds steel or titanium tubing, and the heart of the frame assembled using precisely-machined aluminium lugs.
Every Dyna-Tech frame size has its unique set of angles and dimensions, maximising its comfort and efficiency when correctly matched to the rider.

The ‘Performance Enhanced’ badging on a Dyna-Tech frame is the result of Raleigh’s exhaustive tests in the lab and on the road; proving that Dyna-Tech’s ‘cold’ construction technique exploits the full strength of every grade of Reynolds tubing.
The graph shows how brazing heat can affect tube strength – the extra responsiveness you enjoy from a Dyna-Tech frame is a direct result of its extra strength.

REYNOLDS MEETS THE NEW TECHNOLOGY FROM RALEIGH.

Reynolds tubing has been the mark of a quality frame for over 65 years.
Now the combination of Raleigh’s new Dyna-Tech bonding process and performance-enhanced Reynolds tubes increases still further the ability of the frame to put more of your efforts onto the road.

Aerospace grade Titanium 325 main frame tubes with Manganese Molybdenum taper-gauge stays and heat-treated Manganese Molybdenum fork blades. Recommended for use in time trials and on good road surfaces.

85 tons tensile heat treated Manganese Molybdenum butted main frame tubes in special light gauges. Manganese Molybdenum taper-gauge stays and heat-treated fork blades. Recommended for use in time trials and on good road surfaces.

60 tons tensile special drawn Manganese Molybdenum butted main frame tubes with Manganese Molybdenum taper-gauge stays and Chrome-Moly-Manganese fork blades. Suitable for road racing and general purpose use.

52 tons tensile Chrome-Moly-Manganese butted main frame tubes and fork blades. Suitable for road racing and general purpose use.

52 tons tensile general purpose tubeset, featuring Chrome-Moly-Manganese butted frame tubes teamed with Manganese Molybdenum narrow oval taper-gauge fork blades.

A NEW DIMENSION OF SECURITY.

The three-dimensional holographic Dyna-Tech badge only goes on when the frame has reached the end of its exhaustive build, paint and inspection procedures.
A duplicate hologram also containing the unique frame number is attached to a separate card, giving you a permanent and secure record of your machine.
Should anyone attempt to detach the hologram from the frame, it automatically ‘voids’ itself, providing an immediate warning of a stolen cycle.

Below, a close photograph of a blue tube carrying the 2080 Performance Enhanced Tube Set transfer with “SERIAL No. AA0125” illustrates the security hologram text.]
