Jamis KOMODO 1 (2012)

If you thrive on connection to the trail, if you live for big air and the flow of a screaming descent, if you want the elemental experience of just you and the bike—Komodo will take you there, without the added weight and complexity of dual suspension.

It takes a special rider to appreciate what Komodo has to offer—its incredibly burly Kinesis 7005 aluminum alloy frameset is double-gusseted for strength, with a whopping 57 mm down tube that’s ovalized to a hefty 72 mm at the 1.5” head tube for supreme front-end stiffness. This is a gravity-inspired frame, with slacker head and seat tube angles for high-speed handling and the strength and stability to handle big landings.
