2022 Jamis Hardline A2

Overview

About this bike

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. - Triple-butted 6061 aluminum - 160mm travel 3VO suspension - Enduro Max sealed bearing pivots - Fox Float DPX2 Performance Series EVOL shock, 3-position compression - Fox 36 Rhythm Series Float 27.5", sweep adjust compression & lock-out - Stan's No Tubes Flow D 27.5" rims, Shimano MT410 hubs - Shimano Deore, 12-speed - Shimano MT420 4-piston brakes
