VERSATILITY Renegade enables you to be a commuter in the morning, leader of the after-work group ride and take off for a 300-mile bikepacking expedition over the weekend. All with a single bicycle. With over 20 fork and frame mounts you can now choose to mount fenders, rear carrier, low-rider front carrier (or two cages for water bottles/storage) and three front triangle water bottles. Add clearance for 700 x 50mm and 650 x 2.00"* on our steel and aluminum models, and it's clear the Renegade series is equipped to accommodate any adventure. *Renegade carbon models are designed to accommodate up to a 700c x 37mm tire without fenders or 35mm with fenders. *Steel and aluminum Renegade models are designed to accommodate up to 700c x 50mm tires without fenders and 35mm with fenders. ADVENTURE FRAME DESIGN Starting with a wide and consistent stack and reach range, we set out to design a frame that could handle on or off road conditions while maintaining a comfortable and consistent ride. As you start to review the geo chart you will notice we have 3 different fork offsets, BB drops and rear center measurements depending on frame size. This is unique. We set out to ensure every Renegade rider will experience the ultimate in adventure bike performance regardless of their frame size. Most of our competitors simply design one fork and strap it to every frame size. While this may work just fine for a bicycle that's designed to be ridden with a single tire size (think a road racing bike), it significantly impacts the handling and ride quality of an adventure bike when swapping out your 28's for 32s, 40s or even 47mm tires. Add size specific tubing, where we vary the diameter of the frame tubing depending on frame size and 2 different sized rear triangles and you have what we feel is the perfect adventure geometry for all sized riders and the best riding adventure bike period.

FULL RANGE The Renegade is ready for any adventure, no matter which Renegade you ride. The long and tall endurance geometry is designed specifically to ride comfortably all day on the road or in harsh conditions off-road. The smooth ride of the full carbon fiber Renegades set the bar for how we designed the steel and aluminum bikes. With disc brakes and the ability to mount up to a 47c tire, these bikes are ready to go just about anywhere. All you need is the desire to push, pedal and explore. With a full range of sizes from 44 with 650 wheels to 61cm there's always a Renegade designed just for you.

THREE VARIABLE OPTIMIZED. 1. INSTANT CENTER With the 3VO system's unique virtual pivot characteristics, we're able to combine the efficiency of a hardtail with the proper support of precisely-controlled active suspension. This is how every full-suspension bike should ride. 2. AXLE PATH A rear wheel that stays planted while charging through rough terrain is crucial to providing an intimate connection with the trail. 3VO's initial rearward axle path allows the bike to be supple on small bumps and square edge hits while its tightly tuned relationship with the system's leverage ratio keeps the suspension highly reactive even while pedaling. 3. LEVERAGE RATIO Imagine having two bikes in one, that's essentially what we've got with 3VO. The tuned multi-phase leverage ratio with initial rising rate provides an unparalleled pedaling platform while remaining keenly adept at sustaining repeated bumps without holdup. Up to just beyond the sag point, the system employs a slight rising rate. Some designs claim an initial falling rate with high initial leverage improves sensitivity and responsiveness, but these claims seem more driven by a need to market a deficiency than by any genuine benefit. Why? Because up until the sag point of the bike, sensitivity and responsiveness are primarily felt when the suspension is able to extend, not compress. - Dyad Pro High Modulus Carbon Fiber - 130mm travel 3VO suspension - Enduro Max sealed bearing pivots - Fox Float DPS Performance Series EVOL shock, 3-position compression - Fox 34 Rhythm Series Float 29" w/ sweep adjust compression & lock-out - Stan's No Tubes Flow D 29" rims, Shimano MT410 15x110mm front & 12x148mm rear hubs - Shimano Deore, 12-speed - Shimano MT420 4-piston brakes

YOUR FAVORITE STEEL HARDTAIL SINCE 1993 We've been designing and building Dragons since 1993, but this latest version is an entirely new beast. Slacker front end and longer top tube mean more room to get rowdy…with the buttery-smooth ride our steel Dragon is legendary for. Say hello to your new favorite hardtail. - Reynolds 520 steel frame - Fox 34 Rhythm Series Float 29", sweep adjust compression & lock-out - Stan's No Tubes Flow D 29" rims, Shimano MT410 hubs - Shimano SLX, 12-speed - Race Face Ride, 32T crank - Shimano MT420 4-piston hydraulic disc - Race Face Ride Handlebar & Stem - KS Rage Dropper, Southpaw remote

SIMPLY AGGRESSIVE Why do so many riders love hardtails? Simplicity. Komodo gets right to the point. No rear suspension. One chainring. A super burly aluminum hardtail capable of just about any kind of riding or trail. BUILT TO PARTY Komodo's rear end is solid, the way an aggressive hardtail should be. A 12mm thru-axle and robust chainstays promote torsional rigidity, which will you'll no doubt notice when whipping through corners or rallying through rock sections. - Triple-butted 6061 aluminum - Rock Shox 35 Silver TK 29", Solo Air, Turn Key lockout, external rebound - Stan's No Tubes Flow D 29" rims, Shimano MT410 hubs - Shimano Deore, 12-speed - Race Face Ride, 32T Crank - Shimano MT420 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes - Race Face Ride Handlebar & Stem - KS Rage Dropper, Southpaw remote

MP2 SUSPENSION Dual suspension platforms open up a whole new world of on-trail speed and control. Faultline combines our proven MP2 design, the suspension platform that's won us numerous industry accolades, and Bike of the Year awards, with 29" wheels and a smart spec. It's the perfect rig for the experienced hardtail rider looking to upgrade to a dual suspension bike, or for a new rider looking for a bit of a head start. ASYMMETRICAL CHAINSTAYS The Faultline's chainstays are asymmetrical, with an elevated straight stay on the non-drive side and a dropped curved stay on the drive side. The drive side must be dropped & curved to clear the chainring, but running the non-drive side straight from the dropout to BB pivot reduces weight while significantly stiffening the rear triangle laterally. This design also helps improve tire clearance. - Triple-butted 6061 alloy - 120mm travel mp2 suspension - Rock Shox Deluxe Select R air shock with rebound adjust - Rock Shox Recon Silver RL 29", Solo Air, lever actuated lockout, external rebound - WTB STX i25 TCS 29" tubeless rims, Shimano MT400 hubs - Shimano Deore Shadow Plus, 11-speed - Shimano Deore, 32T crank - Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes

TRUE ALL-AROUNDER Designed with geometry like our Komodo, the Highpoint is ready to tackle all aspects of trail riding. With a 5" travel fork with thru-axle and tubeless rims, the Highpoint performs as a true all-arounder. It's a fact: larger wheels roll over obstacles more easily than smaller wheels. Stuff like rocks, logs, and stutter bumps. In other words, they'll roll easier and faster on the trails you ride. FRAME MATERIALS Highpoint features lightweight and strong triple-butted 6061 series aluminum tubing, featuring over-sized & tapered tubing for increased frame stiffness. - 6061 triple-butted aluminum - Rock Shox Judy Silver TK 29", Solo Air compression, external rebound, Turn Key lockout, 120mm travel - WTB STX i23 TCS tubeless 29" rims, 32H, alloy disc hubs - Shimano Deore Shadow Plus rear, 11-speed - Shimano Deore, 32T Crank - Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes - Jamis XC alloy handlebar and stem - Selle Royal Vivo Saddle

THE TRAILS ARE CALLING Building great recreational-level bikes that ride much like our high-end bikes is a passion at Jamis. No bikes showcase our commitment to do just that better than these. The Trail X chassis emphasizes all-day performance with quick, but not overly twitchy handling attributes. Make no mistake though, if you want to throw down they're more than able to keep up. FRAME MATERIALS Trail X features lightweight and strong 6061 series aluminum tubing, featuring over-sized & tapered tubing for increased frame stiffness. - 6061 aluminum frame - SR Suntour XCT 30 HLO 27.5", coil spring, hydraulic speed lock out adjust, external preload adjustor - Alex TD26 27.5" rims, 32H, alloy disc hubs - microSHIFT Advent 9-speed drivetrain - Sealed cartridge bottom bracket - Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes - Jamis XC alloy handlebar & stem - Jamis ATB Sport saddle

OWNING CITY STREETS FOR 30 YEARS Our Codas have been some of our most popular bikes for decades, and for good reason. There's the smooth-riding Reynolds chromoly frames, the well-thought-out geometry, the heads-up riding position and the smart component selections, from the super-wide gearing range to the easy-adjust stems: these bikes are simply some of the best and most versatile around. THE BUTTERY RIDE OF QUALITY STEEL We're famous for our steel bikes and the Codas have a lot to do with that. No frame material makes more sense on beat-up city streets than steel. Why? Hit a baseball with a wooden bat and then hit one with an aluminum bat and you'll know why. You want your frame material to soak up those streets, not beat you with them. And we use only the best: Reynolds cold-worked, double-butted chrome-moly steel.

PUSHING THE BOUNDS OF "ENTRY LEVEL" These may be the most affordable 29'ers in our stable, but there's nothing entry-level about the performance of these bikes. We've taken all new frame styling and married it to our proven XC geometry. Best-in-class performance and big hoops doesn't have to mean big bucks, and the Durangos prove it. FRAME DESIGN DETAILS The Durango frame features a sloping top tube that optimizes stand-over clearance while at the same time adding great looks. The oversized down tube and head tube also offer plenty of strength, stiffness, and fork crown clearance. - 6061 aluminum main tubes - SR Suntour XCT 30 HLO 29", coil spring, hydraulic speed lock-out adjust, external preload adjustor - Alex TD26 29" rims, 32H, alloy disc hubs - MicroSHIFT Advent M6195M 9-speed - Sealed cartridge Bottom Bracket - Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes - Jamis XC alloy handlebar and stem - Jamis ATB Sport Saddle

EASY ACCESS We're super proud of the Citizen's sleek frame design. With an arcing top tube for the "Men's" frames and S-bend top and down tubes for a super-low step-through "Women's" version. In fact, we hesitate to designate either with gender specific labels because the version with the easy-access, low step-over top tube is suitable for anyone with limited hip flexibility who might be challenged to swing a leg over the rear wheel when mounting & dismounting. EASY ON THE NECK & BACK A usual complaint from new or returning riders trying to get into the cycling groove is feeling uncomfortably perched forward with too much weight on their wrists and having to crank their necks backwards just to be able to see in traffic. We specifically designed our Citizens to remedy this. The large diameter 700c wheels push handlebar height up and shorter top tubes pull handlebars closer to the saddle, all to mitigate forward lean. Our 4-inch rise handlebars sweep back at a natural hand-grasp angle with a long-quilled or angle-adjustable stem that allows for a wide range of adjustment to tune handle bar height and reach perfectly for each ride. GEARED TO GO The shifting systems on all our Citizens feature long cage rear derailleurs, full-size 48/38/28T triple-chainring cranksets (single 44t chainring for Citizen base model) and big 11-32T or 14-34T gearing in the back. This gives you the dual advantage of having fairly tall gears for controlled pedaling at speed on descents as well as really low gearing for easier pedaling uphill. It's a rider-friendly combination that's made the Citizens a perennial favorite of recreational cyclists.

READY FOR THE TRAIL Building great recreational-level bikes that ride much like our high-end bikes is a passion at Jamis. No bikes showcase our commitment to do just that better than these. The Helix chassis emphasizes all-day performance with quick, but not overly twitchy handling attributes. Make no mistake though, if you want to throw down they're more than able to keep up. BUILT TO LAST Because it's much easier and much less expensive to replace a derailleur hanger than it is to repair or replace a frame, every Helix frame offers a replaceable derailleur hanger designed to yield in a crash before the frame does. - 6061 aluminum frame - SR Suntour XCT 30 HLO 27.5", coil spring, hydraulic speed lock out adjust, external preload adjustor - Alex TD26 27.5" rims, 32H, alloy disc hubs - MicroSHIFT Advent 9-speed drivetrain - Sealed cartridge bottom bracket - Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes - Jamis XC alloy handlebar & stem - Jamis ATB Sport women's saddle

FUN=FITNESS, FITNESS=FUN Musically speaking, Allegro means quick and lively. Which exactly characterizes the spirit of our Allegros: fitness bikes that are lively, quick, and seriously fun to ride. Our Allegros blend the speed and efficiency of a road bike with the heads up riding position many people prefer. LIGHTWEIGHT & PRECISION FEEL When it comes to fitness training and peak performance, nothing is more detrimental to flying fast than carrying more weight than you need to. Which is why every Allegro is built with lightweight triple-butted 6061 aluminum tubing. In fact, our aluminum Allegro frames shed 14 ounces over their steel Coda counterparts. We design comfort into the naturally stiffer ride by specifying large volume 32c tires, using similar geometry as our Codas and then adding a few millimeters to the wheelbase length for just a tad more compliance. - Size Specific Design Triple-butted 6061 aluminum frame with fast back rear triangle - Hi-Ten straight blade unicrown with flat mount disc brake mounts - Alex TD26 double wall disc specific alloy rims - Shimano Rapidfire, 16-speed - Shimano FC-TY501-2 crankset - Shimano Acera RD-M360 rear and Shimano FD-TY710-2 front derailleurs - Tektro HD-M280/281 hydraulic Flat Mount disc brakes - Jamis Touring saddle with SL cover

TAKES YOU ANYWHERE The dual-sport DXT's are pumped-up, go-anywhere/do-anything versions of our Allegro fitness bikes. With more gearing range to take on steeper hills and tougher terrain. Wider tires with a trail-capable tread for access to more riding areas, both paved and packed. And disc brakes and suspension forks for real off-road exploration and off-pavement adventure GIVING YOU A BREAK The advantages of disc brakes over rim brakes on a versatile bike like the DXT far exceed their sole disadvantage, weight gain. Besides their incredible power and modulation, they're just plain safer, especially in the rain. Once rims get wet or muddy, using friction to stop the wheel at its circumference is less efficient than using friction to stop a less wet or muddy small diameter disc near the center of the wheel from rotating. And eliminating the rim from braking surface duties results in a longer lasting wheel.

BEST IN CLASS COMFORT Our Hudsons are capable but cool. Casual but on it. The flowing curves and shaped tubes provide a design that rides comfortably, casually and efficiently while making a bold statement all at the same time. Our super plush saddle features Memory Foam padding for optimum support with maximum comfort. The slip-resistant suede-like top prevents sliding and the burnished side panels reduce leg friction while pedaling. Elastomer springs also help to soak up road vibrations.

Every Jamis youth bike uses size-specific items like grips, saddles, and cranks that enhance comfort and control by providing the best possible bike fit. We focus on designing frames with low stand-overs to take much of the awkwardness out of getting on board and dismounting after. We trim as much weight as we can with lightweight aluminum frames on many of the youth models and use aluminum parts where possible to work towards that make-it-as-light-as-possible goal.

CITY SLAYER There is simply no better material better suited for the rigors of urban riding than steel. Unlike aluminum, steel naturally damps or absorbs the shocks and vibrations of city streets. Aluminum simply transmits it, like a tuning fork, which is why aluminum frames are often criticized for their "harsh" riding qualities. Besides, on a fixie, where vintage reigns, skinny steel frame tubes are just right.
