FeaturesThe original Jamis Dakar multi-link suspension frame that has won numerous industry awards & accolades, as well as multiple World Cup & NORBA National titles, features asymmetrical chainstays and an internal cup head tube. Asymmetrical chainstays incorporate an elevated, straight stay on the nondrive side and a dropped stay on the drive side to achieve greater tire clearance and a stiffer, lighter rear triangle. Dakar XC's suspension system is fully active with a near-vertical wheel axle travel path, plus excellent lateral & torsional stiffness for rear wheel tracking precision. With frame sizes as small as 13", perfectly dimensioned for younger riders, and as large as 23" for big riders. Rock Shox's Bar R rear suspension is a true value leader in rear shocks featuring a single air valve with pre-set negative air pressure, chrome steel damper shaft, large positive air chamber and external rebound adjustment for rider "on-the-fly" tunability. RST's Blaze TnL fork features 30mm stanchions, aluminum sliders & hydraulic "Turn-n-Lock" lock-out. Having the lock-out upgrade makes both climbing and pavement riding much more efficient. The spoke bed of the Alex TD25 rims is reinforced to resist disc brake torque. Under braking load, hubs will twist, which increases spoke tension on some of the spokes, which in turn exerts greater pull on the nipples. Reinforcing the spoke bed prevents these braking loads from pulling the nipples through the rim. The Geax AKA is a versatile tire for all types of terrain with lower profile knobs in the center for low rolling resistance and side knobs directly derived from their aggressive Gato tire for grip. Dakar XC Sport features Shimano's 24-speed Alivio group. With RapidFire SL shifters, M410 Octalink crankset & HyperDrive SG-X chainrings for smooth, light action performance. Tektro's HDC-300 hydraulic disc brakes offer more power, better modulation & feel, require less maintenance and are often lighter than many cable-actuated disc brakes. The Dakar XC Sport's cockpit includes 31.8 over-sized bars and stem for stiffer, more solid steering & handling, and a 31.6mm seat post for a firmer pedaling platform Jamis grips feature a dual compound including gel in the palm area for comfort. Our Jamis ATB Comp saddle features a long, narrow shell that offers multiple, efficient pedaling positions with a full length pressure relief channel for a more comfortable platform and strong-but-light chromoly rails.
