Jamis Jam Bikes

OBSESSIVE ABOUT RUST RESISTANCE Most of the parts specified on our Taxi are made of aluminum to save weight, but also to help preserve the finish of the bike. Aluminum parts include the seat post, seat clamp, stem, rims, front hub, kickstand and crank arms. We’ve even specified a specially treated chain on the Taxi that protects the chain against rust in even the harshest conditions. In fact, this coating increases the rust resistance of the chain up to 500 times (!) that of a regular chain. - Lightweight 6061 aluminum diamond frame design - Oversized hi-tensile steel tubular unicrown fork - Alex X303 silver anodized alloy rims with double-sealed Shimano hubs and 12 gauge stainless steel spokes - Taya 410H-GST rustless chain - Forged alloy crank with 44T compact disc chainring - Shimano coaster brake - Jamis custom Cruise-control comfort handlebar - Taxi custom saddle with extra padding, extra-thick vinyl cover, heavy-duty strut rails & double-loop springs

COMFORT AND COMPETENCE The Explorer has been one of our best-selling bikes, ever since its introduction in 1982. Originally designed as a mountain bike, the Explorer has since evolved into a very practical and very comfortable sport comfort bike. Inspired in part by our Hudsons and Citizens, without sacrificing the versatile on or off-road competence of the original Explorer, the newest generation Explorer is all about getting the most fun out of the ride, in STYLE, with performance and comfort features that make getting around so effortless it hardly feels like exercise. LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINUM When it comes to recreational riding on a so-called comfort bike, nothing gets more uncomfortable faster than having to pedal more weight than necessary. Explorers are built with lightweight 6061 aluminum tubing, resulting in a bike that is as easy to ride as it is to load onto a vehicle. - Lightweight aluminum frame, with comfortable upright ride position - Hi-tensile unicrown fork - Alloy 36H rims and stainless steel spokes - Shimano EZ-Fire Plus, 21-speed shifting - Forged alloy crankset with integrated chainguard - ProMax alloy direct-pull brakes with Shimano levers - Alloy micro-adjust seat post - Jamis Comfort with memory foam and bumper springs

RIDE POSITION A usual complaint from new 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 design our Explorers to remedy this. With extra-long head tubes to push handlebar height up, shorter top tubes to pull handlebars closer to the saddle, 4-inch rise handlebars that sweep back at a natural hand-grasp angle and long-quilled or angle-adjustable stems that allow for a wide range of adjustment to tune handle bar height and reach perfectly for each rider. COMFORT SADDLE Our super-plush saddle features extra-high-quality polyurethane padding for optimum support with maximum comfort. The slip-resistant suede-type top prevents sliding and the burnished side panels reduce leg friction while pedaling. Elastomer springs also help to soak up road vibrations. Offered in gender-specific sizes. PUMP UP THE VOLUME Our Explorer tires are ready for anything; they roll smoothly on pavement but offer a large 2.1” footprint and side knobs so that traction off the beaten path is never an issue. The additional benefit of that big footprint is larger air volume in the tire and tube, which results in lower air pressure for a more comfortable ride than tires with smaller volumes and higher air pressures. VERSATILITY But don’t let all this comfort talk fool you into thinking the Explorer has limited uses. While conceived to make cycling as comfortably fun as possible, the Explorer is capable of doing much more than keeping a new rider from hurting. Thanks to the full-range gearing of the drivetrain, the 2.1” footprint of the tires and the shock absorption of the suspension fork.

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.

These may be the most affordable 29'ers in our stable, but there's nothing entry-level about the performance of these bikes. Best-in-Class performance and Big Hoops doesn't have to mean Big Bucks and the Durango proves it. Durango frame design The Durango frame features a sloping top tube that optimizes stand-over clearance while adding great looks at the same time. The over-sized down tube and head tube to offer plenty of strength, stiffness, and fork crown clearance. Pedaling platform The aluminum frame on the Durango is beefed up to include a larger 34.9mm seat tube, which allows us to spec an over-sized 31.6mm seat post. The larger diameter post flexes less, providing a firmer pedaling platform. Zero Stack internal headset Durangos feature a zero stack internal headset that places both the cups and bearings inside the head tube instead of outside. This reduces the total stack height (including the head tube), which is especially beneficial on big wheeled bikes. The larger diameter head tube also provides a larger weld interface at the critical head/top/down tube junction. Top tube cable routing Running the cables up under the top tube keeps cables and housing out of the muck for more precise and reliable shifting performance. Dual water bottle mounts Every Durango offers two water bottle mounts located inside the main frame. This provides excellent hydration capacity in an easily accessible position. Replaceable derailleur hanger Because it's much easier and much less expensive to replace a derailleur hanger than it is to repair or replace a frame, every Durango frame offers a replaceable derailleur hanger designed to yield in a crash before the frame does.

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

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.

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
