Jamis Ventura Sport (2012)

Lightweight aluminium alloy construction—pro-level technology just a few years ago—and smart component choices make our Ventura series a perfect choice for sagged multi-day adventures and long weekend rides, which is why you’ll see them underneath happy riders on gran fondos, at RAGBRAI, on multi-day fundraisers and in the pages of Bicycling Magazine winning yet another of their coveted Editor’s Choice awards.

The Ventura’s handling is impeccable—stable, easy to ride, with just a hint of edginess that makes slinging into corners a joy. The Ventura frame’s aluminium alloy main triangle is extremely light, and if you opt for the Ventura Race you’ll even get a carbon fiber mono-stay rear end that sheds a few grams and really smooths the ride out for those extra-long rides.
