Overview
About this bike
Jamis throws their hat into the freeride/downhill ring with their excellent Dakar BAM 1. This mean machine boasts a tough aluminum frame with 180mm of trail-taming travel delivered by a Fox DHX shock with their ProPedal feature that makes hoofing it uphill a thing of the past. Marzocchi soaks up the bumps up front with the 66 RCV fork that has 180mm of smooth travel and a 1.5-inch steerer for maximum stiffness and brawn. The Dakar BAM rolls on a set of burly WTB hoops, while Shimano and SRAM provide all your drivetrain needs. Plus, this rockhound comes with sure-stopping Avid Juicy discs and a suite of rugged Syncros aluminum components for all your hucking needs.
