Jamis Dakar AMT (2013)

Where others see impossibility, you see a line. Where they see trouble, you see fun. The AMT is just like you, a bike that won’t take no for an answer.

This is a 150mm travel rig you can ride efficiently uphill and aggressively downhill. Think XCT on steroids. The progressive mp4 Trail suspension design is optimized to shed weight, offer a low center of gravity and deliver superb pedaling efficiency while enhancing rear shock durability and performance.

The AMT's fully-active travel is controlled by a Rock Shox Monarch Plus RC3 rear shock, fusing the light weight of the Monarch with an all-new Solo Air system and damper design that tackles all-mountain riding like it was born to bomb downhill.

At just 30 pounds (17” frame size), the AMT is both surprisingly light and amazingly competent thanks to the ribbed and boxed tubing shapes, tapered head tube, 10mm shock hardware, asymmetrical stays and thru-axles fore and aft.
