Dual suspension features
These bikes feature long wheelbases and massive amounts
of soft suspension travel to soak up high speed descents
on rough terrain.
Disc brakes with the larger 6 or 8" rotors offer necessary
braking performance and wide 26" x 2.10 - 2.5" tyres grip
when you need it most. More expensive models feature remote
reservoirs for rear shock absorbers to adjust the sensitivity
and improve pedalling efficiency.
Jamis have been in the full-suspension game as long as anybody
and one of the things learned is that it takes more than
a great suspension design--it takes superior execution. And
nobody does that better than them. That’s why every Jamis
dualie starts with some version of our proven multi-link
design, with a near-vertical axle path, and why they work
to reduce the leverage ratio in every one of our designs
to give you the smoothest-possible action and improved shock
longevity. It’s why almost every bike uses 10mm shock-mounting
hardware, for that extra little bit of lateral stiffness
and longer life. It’s why they agonize over fork selection,
so the bike works as a whole--much more than the mere sum
of its hyper-engineered parts.
Jamis in 2009
2009 marks Jamis’s 30th anniversary and with it brings overhauls
to almost every one of there mountain bikes. Jamis brings
it's MP3 suspension platform to a new crop of 5-inch trail
bikes called Dakar XCT.
The XCT is the perfect blend of cross country efficiency
and downhill stability. Developed over the course of 2 years
it easily becomes one of the most talked about additions
to the Jamis line-up. We also tweak the angles of our Dakar
BAM to make it a true downhill race platform and deliver
the full carbon Dakar XCR cross country race bike. |
