Jamis Explorer 1 Step-Thru (2012)

We’ve always bristled at the term “comfort bikes,” which conjures up something overweight and overstuffed, like a sofa (and let’s face it, that’s how they’re designed by some of our competitors). We’ve always treated our comfort bikes like bicycles, which are still the most efficient transportation devices yet invented. And maybe that’s why our Explorers sell out every single year.

We focus on making our Explorers easy to ride, as maintenance-free as possible, and focus on pedaling efficiency without shortcutting comfort.

Explorers provide comfort without compromising the bicycle’s inherent utility and efficiency, so they’re speedy and fun. And that’s what cycling’s supposed to be all about.
