Overview
About this bike
Full suspension opens up a whole new world of speed and control off-road. Modernized with 27.5-inch hoops, the Dakar is the frame platform that’s won Jamis numerous industry accolades and Bike of the Year awards. It's perfect for the experienced rider looking for full-suspension or for new riders looking for a head start in performance. A RockShox Recon 120mm fork and Monarch RL Debonair shock provide controlled bump absorption, while Shimano hydraulic disc brakes ensure safe speeds on hairy descents. You also get excellent chain retention and reliable simplicity from the SRAM 1x11 drivetrain, and the KS eTen Integra dropper post lets you get low for extra stability over technical terrain. A wide and stiff Race Face handlebar and stem combo wrap up this lively singletrack machine.
