Dawes says

The XC1.8 is agile, fast and smooth thanks to its great spec, hydro-formed frame tubes and carefully chosen geometry, a contender in any race. The hydro-formed frame allows us to add more strength to the frame without increasing weight, the double butted down tube also adds extra strength on rough terrain. The XC1.8 is fitted with RST forks with remote lockout which means you can apply the lockout with a single thumb shift, all of this is kept under control by the powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes.
