2008 JAMIS

We’ve spent 29 years not settling for good-enough.

Perfection is a lot like fitness—you can be happy with where you are, but

still not satisfied because you know you can do more. And in a lot of ways,

that’s how we’ve always felt about our bicycles.

As bicycle nuts, we’re lucky to make (and ride!) a broad spectrum of bikes. Jamis

bicycles span the sport, from hyper-light road racing bikes to gravity-enhanced

downhill bombers; from style- and comfort-driven street bikes to quick, lightweight

trail bikes; from seriously expensive grown-up toys to the best kids’ bikes on the

planet. Individually, they’re as different as bicycles can be. Collectively, they’re

unified by the ride.

The 29’er—big 29-inch wheels—has proven to be more than a flash in the pan, and

we’re there with 29’er versions of our Dakota, Dragon and Exile cross-country bikes. If

you want to experience the smoother feel and lower-rolling-resistance magic of giant

wheels this is your chance, with a frame that’s been properly tweaked and massaged

to make the most of the big treads. These are from-the-wheels-up designs, not the

updated with the lightest, latest ferrous tubesets available. Whether

your beat is the Saturday race, the Sunday group ride or the mid-week

training session, there’s a Jamis road bike that’s ready for you.

Jamis bikes have racked up dozens of Bike of the Year awards, winning

accolades from cagey bicycle magazine editors and everyday bike riders

alike. And while we’re proud to be recognized as being among the very best,

we’ve never been content to rest on our reputation.

Our street bikes suit performance- and comfort-minded cyclists

alike, whether you’re after a two-wheeled workout partner or a riding

companion for peaceful in-town errands and sightseeing. Or get the best

of both worlds from our Commuter series, which blends the high-tech,

high-performance aspect of our Street Performance bikes with some of the

comfy characteristics of our Street Comfort line.

simply taller, longer-wheelbase versions of the 26-inch wheel bikes some of the other

guys try to get away with—so you’ll get an honest taste of what this big wheel thing

is really all about.

It’s the magic of the ride that matters, and if you’re reading these pages you know

that’s true. You’re one of the lucky ones who can still remember that wondrous

moment when your first wobbly ride on two wheels suddenly stabilized and it

just became…fun. Whether it’s the singing hiss of pavement under your tires, the

flowing rhythm of a downhill trail ride, or the simple joy of a two-block run for

ice cream, we believe every ride should feel right, recapturing the essence of

that first ride, that joy of discovery.

New manufacturing techniques, new materials and new components let us

design ever-lighter, more capable bicycles that maximize fun and performance

alike. Technology gets better by the day, which can be frustratingly wonderful.

We squeeze every last gram from the available technology and resources, but by

the time a new bike debuts our bike-loving engineers have already started napkin

sketches of the next generation of Jamis bikes, with an eye toward the next level

of technology and how it can make riding easier and more fun.

And we go back to our riding roots with our Youth lineup, which we think is the

very best there is. Whether you’re after that ideal very first bicycle, or your child’s

first-ever gear-changing machine with hand brakes, our kids’ bikes take their every

need into account. Proportionately sized grips, handlebars and cranks make them

easy to pedal and safer to ride, for a rewarding riding experience that lets you

share the joy of your own first rides and relive them again.

On the dirt, our award-winning full-suspension lineup continues to show

just how smooth trail riding can be in the rough and tumble world. The all-

conquering, all-new Dakar BAM and Dakar XAM let you follow the fall line at

blistering speeds, just like Jamis pros Kathy Pruitt and Tommy “T” Tokarczyk. Or

you can go with the flexible-use Dakar—one of the longest-lived, most refined

full-suspenders ever—that comes in both sturdy all-mountain and lightweight

cross-country versions.

This year’s crop of Jamis two-wheelers is our best one yet, and you’ll see it in

every single model line.

After 29 years of hard work, you’d think we’d be ready to sit up and coast. But not

us. Getting to be on top of our game—building some of the finest, best bikes in

the world—wasn’t easy. But we’ve always had more than our share of fun doing

it, because that’s what bikes are all about.

But technology is only a small part of the picture. Our engineers are cycling

enthusiasts, first and foremost. These guys love to ride hard, and you can bet they’d

much rather be out on the trails or riding the roads. They spend a lot of time with

“field research,” which raises some eyebrows around here and explains their year-round

cycling tans (they didn’t get those basking in the glow of computer screens), but this

does mean they’re focused on what matters—the ride.

Our flagship road bike, the Xenith, sees further tuning and refinement of its

carbon monocoque frame, making one of the most advanced bikes on the

planet even better. It heads up a field of performance road machines that

include state of the art aluminum chassis and the timeless feel of steel,

The Dragon and Dakota lineups of trail-ready hardtails showcase what we

do best—perfect ride tuning, with fully dialed geometry and that impossible

blend of supple ride and efficiently stiff pedal response. That same relentless

tuning carries over to our Durango and Trail series as well, proving that serious

performance does not always require serious spending.

Ride.

JAMIS TECHNOLOGY

Chasing Perfection.

The other guys might say carbon is the material of the future, but we’ve been working

hard to perfect it since 1998. We’ve stepped it up this year with the latest highest-

strength/highest-modulus carbon and refined our manufacturing know-how with

a new braided bladder monocoque main triangle for OMNIAD and DYAD frames

that makes for better compaction and less post-mold weight, something we’ve also

accomplished in the rear stays with new, expandable silicone mandrels.

And we do this in carbon, aluminum and steel, employing every trick

in the book from hydroformed aluminum for directional stiffness to

custom-spec tubing from the world’s best suppliers.

caliper within the fork and shielding the rear caliper under the chainstays, making it one

of the world’s sleekest designs. With carbon tubing utilizing NACA-designed airfoils

(that’s National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics—NASA’s predecessor) and

rear-entry dropouts that snug the rear wheel tightly into the aero seat tube’s wheel

cutout, helping the Xenith T set a new time trial standard.

Cycling is the perfect fusion of science and soul. And while we are

passionate believers in the soulful side, we are relentless in our pursuit

of technical perfection, and we chase it on every front.

The mindset behind SST is just one example of how we apply smart and

sensible engineering to our bicycle designs. We apply that same laser like

focus for premium performance in our dual suspension designs.

While we take every advantage of computerized number-crunching,

and the hard science of lab testing, there’s no substitute for personal

feedback. And that’s why there’s Covert.

We’ve pumped up the seat tube and seatpost diameter on road frames for reduced

weight and greater pedal platform stability. And we’ve done this while retaining a

full range of adjustment, something that can’t be accomplished with integrated

seat tube designs.

And we’ve instituted an industry first—every Xenith and Dakar XCR carbon frame

is machine-tested for weight, ensuring it is neither resin-rich nor resin-deficient

(resin itself doesn’t do much, structurally—too much simply adds weight, too

little means the carbon plies aren’t adequately fused for strength.) Frames that

pass the weigh-in are then individually tested for stiffness, to ensure all plies

are correctly applied to engineering spec. Any that fail are scrapped.

This year’s MP3 suspension provides a near-vertical rear axle path that

reduces pedal kickback to nearly zero. And while other suspension designs

rely solely on clever shock damping to minimize pedal-bob, we’ve optimized

pivot placement that maximizes the advantage of Fox’s ProPedal damping to

effectively nullify it. Completely. And we’ve tweaked our geometry with a lower

main triangle bellcrank pivot that ensures consistent performance throughout

the size range.

Covert is our ride-testing program, which makes use of Jamis-sponsored

pros and other people you might call “sensitives,” technically savvy cyclists

we count on for serious reality checks.

Almost everywhere you look, we’ve upped the technology ante in our

pursuit of perfection. This might give us bragging rights, but what matters is

you’ll receive a better riding experience whether you’re a die-hard racer or

someone who simply loves to ride. And that, to us, is good science.

Next-gen prototypes are dispatched—usually unpainted, but always with

a Jamis Covert Prototype decal—into the field for real-world testing. This is

how we fine-tune both big and little details like handling characteristics, shock

damping, cable routing, water bottle and mounting bolt access and all the things

that, combined, make up the perfect ride.

We’re the only company using size-specific tubing to tune the ride of

every frame, for every rider from race-level through rank beginner.

Our SST size-specific tubing engineering protocol employs smaller-

diameter frame sections for smaller frames and larger ones for bigger

frames, for more consistent ride quality across all frame sizes.

On the road, we’ve shifted up a cog by heaping large-scale refinements on top of

our SST and new carbon technologies. The Xenith T series is the biggest standout,

the first-ever production frame that cheats the wind by enclosing the front brake

ROAD

There is an almost Zen-like purity to road riding and road bikes. When

you’re in a groove on top of the gear and just turning the cranks over

in a fast one-two, it’s cycling at its purest. There’s the rapid-fire clicking

of the cassette as you coast, the gratifying ker-chunk of a well-executed

gear change, the soothing thrum of the wind, and underlying all the barely

audible hiss of tires on asphalt -- the sizzling sound of speed.

A great road bike is a celebration of perfection. Riding blacktop is pure pursuit,

with bikes so pared-down the tiniest flaws become glaring. On the surface,

there doesn’t seem to be a lot to a road bike. But small flaws become amplified

quickly. Very minute differences can make a tremendous difference, separating the

merely good from the amazingly great. And we’re better at sweating those details

than anyone.

The frame is the road bike’s core. And while a lot of emphasis is placed on material

choices, its true foundation is its geometry. If a bike can be said to have a soul, it lies

in its specific arrangement of its angles and lengths. We’ve spent years perfecting our

geometry, and our bikes have a ride and handling that’s absolutely legendary.

There are as many ways to enjoy pavement as there are roads and there’s a Jamis for

almost every one. For full-blown road racers there’s our Xenith series with a high-modulus

carbon monocoque frame that’s so ride-tuned and so gram-lean it’s truly a magic carpet

to the podium. Dedicated pavement pounders will dig the Ventura lineup which matches a

featherweight aluminum-and-carbon chassis with the Xenith’s perfect geometry. And we round

out our road line for those who appreciate the comfortable riding qualities of Reynolds butted

chromoly with the Quest and Satellite.

If you’re stopwatch-obsessed, you’ve got to check out the revolutionary new carbon Xenith T2 and

T1 TT/Tri bikes. Every detail of these bikes, including an industry-first shrouded front brake caliper,

has been designed to reduce aerodynamic drag, increase stiffness and optimize strength-to-weight

characteristics. Trilogy and Comet will also put you into a power position over the pedals with a similar

wind-cheating form that’ll speed you through time trials, sprint triathlons or full iron-distance events.

For muddy pursuits (and purists!), we have our Supernova and Nova Pro. They are true competition

cyclocross bikes – from the flattened-for-portaging top tube section to the front derailleur cable roller at the

bottom of the seat tube to the integrated seat binder/rear brake cable stop, every detail was chosen to get

you to the finish first.

Fixed-gear junkies will thrill to the new Sonik’s aero-profile aluminum frame with matching carbon seat post and

American Classic track wheels. Our perennial steel fixie sell-out, Sputnik, is back with a full carbon fork upgrade for

‘08 and lower, street-friendly 46/16t gearing.

And when you’re ready to go the distance, there’s our Aurora and Aurora Elite touring bikes. You can hit the road

and take it all with you. Then when you get back home you have a great all-rounder for commutes and comfortable

century rides.

It’s a beautifully paved world. We’re here to help you ride it.
