WHAT WE’RE LEARNING TO
We never set out to be big. We just wanted to make some great
bikes. For over 30 years, we’ve concentrated on doing what we do
best—designing and building the kinds of bikes we want to ride.
The ones we love to ride.
Turns out, lots of people wanted the same things we did—real-world
performance, the kinds of bikes that turn a good day of riding into
a great day, period. A few happy Jamis riders became a few more
happy Jamis riders and after 30 plus seasons we’ve quietly become
big, a nameplate that gets noticed in the pack and out on the trail.
And we did it by building the very best bikes, and letting them
speak for us where it counts—in the woods, on the road, on dirt
jumps and bike paths and everywhere else you might spin a wheel
for fun.
We got noticed because we’re cyclists. We’re not just product guys,
we’re not just number crunching accountants and engineers. We’re
riders. Riders who happen to be product managers, engineers and
designers. We’re the kids who got turned loose in the toy store,
carte blanche. This is what we love and we’re lucky we get to share
it, spreadingg the stoke two wheels at a time.
We’re proud of our hard work, the time and sweat we’ve invested
in technologies like our SST size-specific tubing that guarantee the
same perfect ride experience whether you ride a giant-size frame
or an extra-petite one; our award winning mp3 or brand new mp4
multi-link suspension; the huge r&d investment we’ve made in our
carbon technology; our proprietary saddles and custom handlebar
bends; the time and care we put into designing kids’ bikes.
But it’s much more than the technology that matters—it’s the
whole machine. It’s performance. It’s value. It’s how our bikes fit
into the big, real-world picture. And not just in one category.
While some manufacturers are known as a road brand, or a moun-
tain brand, or a triathlon brand, we’ve earned accolades for all
bikes, from all over. Bicycling magazine loves us. The mountain
bike magazines—all of them—just can’t seem to get enough of
our bikes. And the tri magazines have put us in the spotlight over
and over. Google Jamis + any bike category you want, and you’ll be
avalanched by gushing praise from ordinary cyclists like you, from
seasoned vets to weekend riders who’ve just rediscovered cycling.
We’ve become a big name the hard way, earning it year by year,
one bike at a time. And that’s what put us on the map, as we’ve
racked up awards in every bike segment you can imagine—moun-
tain bike of the year honors, editor’s choice awards in road, comfort
and mountain bike categories. Over multiple years, in both cycling
enthusiast press and mainstream media. And in competition all
over the globe.
We’ve earned Bicycling magazine’s coveted Editor’s Choice award
for best road bike and best mountain bike seven times, with twice
as many nominations. We’ve been Bike of the Year in Mountain Bik-
ing magazine a half-dozen times. We make Outside magazine’s an-
nual Buyer’s Guide—where they recommend just 5 or 6 bikes each
year to their readers —so many times we’ve lost count. We’ve been
listed as a Sport Comfort #1 and #2 Best Buy in a world-famous
consumer publication (who won’t let their name be used—but its
lab-coated staff is known for its exhaustive testing protocols). And
it’s not just our hi-tech flagship bikes that garner all the medals, or
the opinions of expert cyclists that are making these calls, either.
Our bikes are so good it’s obvious to anyone—our everyday machines
have even been featured in AARP magazine as a raecommended buy.
And it ain’t because we’re spending more ad dollars than anyone
else—we’re just cranking out bikes that are seriously that good.
5
Our road bikes continue to be top of the heap, whether they’re
purebred racers or casual pavement cruisers. Last year’s Xenith
Comp walked away with best recreational road bike honors in
Bicycling magazine’s annual Editor’s Choice awards (and this year’s
version is even better—stiffer, lighter, and just plain faster), and the
flagship Xenith SL is being ridden to victory on the USA pro peloton
again and again (currently leading the NRC series) by the women
of Colavita/Baci/pb Cooking Light and the men of Jamis/Sutter
Home/pb Colavita.
Our flat-handlebar road bikes are the best thing going for fitness
rides and cross-town commutes. And our fixed-gear bikes are leg-
ends in the urban riding community, where speed and soul reign
supreme.
In the dirt, our proven mp3 (and soon our new mp4) multi-link rear
suspension continues to set the standard for refinement and per-
formance. Whether it’s the big hit world of Diablo Freeride Park or
the cross country racing world of Jason Sager and the Team Jamis
XC squad, our full suspension bikes deliver the goods. And deliver
them first, with the sort of suppleness that soaks up big hits, small
bumps, and keeps those tires firmly planted whether you’re carving
a deep bend or scrambling for traction.
Our hardtails are legendary, with the most dialed-in, tuned, refined
geometry on the planet. Whether your jones is high-tech carbon
fiber, lightweight aluminum or supple-yet-efficient Dragon steel;
big air or the flow of a great trail; long-travel forks or minimalist
simplicity, our hardtails are the real thing. These bikes track and
steer with conviction, with awesome hook-up that maximizes trac-
tion, and with those perfect proportions that fit like your body as
though it was custom-made for it.
Even our children’s bikes are standouts. We make them durable,
tough, and easy to ride. And we pack them with more value than
any other bikes we build, because we know the people riding them
are the most important people in your world.
And that’s what it really boils down to: Your world. It’s where you
ride. It’s where you live. It’s where you get to choose who you want
to be, the type of rider you are. The type of cyclist you aspire to be.
That’s who we had in mind when we first set pen to paper over 30
years ago. And that’s why we’re thrilled to be big—it means we’re
not alone, that we’re making cyclists happy. Being big lets us pay
back into this fabulous sport with advocacy programs, sponsor-
ship of premium riding areas like Diablo Mountain Bike Park and
inspiring pros like Jamis/Geax’s Jason Sager, Colavita/Baci’s Cath
Cheatley, Jamis/Sutter Home’s Luis Amaran, XTERRA star Lesley
Patterson and Olympian Laura Bennett.
No, we never set out to be big. We just wanted to build the very best
bikes we could, bikes we’d love to ride. Turns out, they might just
be the very best bikes on the planet. And there’s one built for you.

When it comes to covering open ground, nothing gobbles up more trail with more efficiency faster than these XCR’s. Our
mp3 suspension delivers 100mm of active travel for superb bump control and a firm, responsive pedaling platform that
doesn’t waste a watt of climbing energy, or hold you back when the going’s fast.
XCR Carbon Fiber Dropouts.The XCR Team and Pro chainstay is 99.5% full
carbon fiber, including the dropouts. An alloy disc
brake mount is integrated into the carbon on the
non-drive side to provide additional strength under
braking loads.
Shimano XTR Double Crankset.Though Shimano’s XT and SLX 10-speed groups
only offer a triple chainring crankset option, their
new XTR group offers both triple and multiple
double options. We’ve spec’ed the 28/40T XC race-
inspired set-up for the XCR Team. With Hollowtech II
manufactured crankarms for maximum stiffness and
minimum weight and HG-X chainring tooth profiles
and Double Spike for crisp, instant front shifting.
Shimano XTR Cassette.This 10-speed cassette is a work of metallurgical and
technical genius. Designing around a 3-piece spider
arm and making the five largest cogs out of titanium
means there is virtually no weight penalty in moving
from the previous generation 9-speed XTR cassette
to the new Dyna-Sys generation 10-speed cassette.
XCR Bell Crank & Shock Hardware.Our mp3 carbon fiber bell crank and 10mm shock
hardware work in tandem to significantly increase
lateral & torsional stiffness, while also enhancing
rear shock durability and performance.
Asymmetrical Chainstays.The XCR’s chainstays are asymmetrical, with an
elevated straight stay on the non-drive side and a
dropped curved stay on the drive side. The drive
side must be dropped & curved to clear the front
derailleur and chain, but running the non-drive
side straight from the dropout to BB pivot reduces
weight while significantly stiffening the rear triangle
laterally. There’s more tire clearance, too.

Tapered Head Tube and Fork Steerer.Riding fast with control requires steering precision,
which starts with the front of the bike. Stiffening
this area results in less wheel deflection, more
wheel control. Moving to a full 1.5” head tube and
steerer achieves this, but adds unnecessary weight
and bulk, and limits stem choices. But a tapered
1 1 /8” to 1 1 /2” head tube and steerer serves up a
significant increase in rough terrain tracking and
stability without much of a weight penalty compared
to standard 1 1 /8” systems since the steer tube wall
thickness can be reduced.
FEA Optimized Design.We use powerful, state of the art, composite
manufacturing software to analyze and perfect our
layup schedule. The result is optimized layup for
optimal stiffness, greater durability and lighter weight.
XCR MP3 SuspensionThe XCR’s mp³ multi-link suspension design is
optimized for efficient pedaling and the lightest
possible weight with a low center of gravity for tight
and fast cornering.
SID World Cup.The Motion Control damping system on the Sid
WC offers efficient small-bump performance
and incredible reliability in a highly tunable
package. It features Dual Flow rebound to
accurately control beginning and ending stroke
rebound, with tunable low-speed compression
and PopLoc lock-out.
SST - Size Specific TubingEvery carbon XCR frame features SST -- Size Specific
Tubing -- with tube diameters designed specifically
for each frame. Larger frames get larger, stiffer OD’s;
smaller frames get lighter, smaller OD’s.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The XCR Team’s mp³ multi-link suspension design is optimized to shed weight
and has a low center of gravity for tight and fast cornering.
Every carbon XCR frame features SST -- Size Specific Tubing -- with tube diameters
designed specifically for each frame. Larger frames get larger, stiffer OD’s; smaller frames
get lighter, smaller OD’s.
For 2011, the XCR main frame is updated with a 1 1/8” - 1.5” tapered head tube to keep
the frame light while increasing stiffness and strength at the crown.
The XCR Team’s chainstay is asymmetrical and 99.5% full carbon fiber, including the
dropouts. An alloy disc brake post mount is integrated into the carbon on the non-drive side
to provide additional strength under braking loads. Asymmetrical chainstays incorporate an
elevated, straight stay on the non-drive side and a dropped stay on the drive side to achieve
greater tire clearance and a stiffer, lighter rear triangle.
The mp³’s carbon fiber bell crank and 10mm shock hardware increases lateral & torsional
stiffness and enhances rear shock durability and performance.
The XCR’s fully-active 100mm travel is controlled by a Fox Float RP23 rear shock that
features Fox’s Boost Valve, a new damping technology developed at the most demanding
downhill courses in the world, and optimized for cross-country and trail bike use. It provides
velocity and position-sensitive damping that can be designed into the beginning of the
stroke, the end of the stroke, or both at the same time.
Rock Shox’s SID World Cup floats on 100mm of Dual Air suspension travel -- where both
positive and negative air chambers are independently adjustable, making for an extremely
light, highly tuneable suspension system, especially when coupled with BlackBox Mission
Control damper.
A double-ring 40/28T Shimano crank set is paired with Shimano’s new XTR 11-36 cassette
to achieve a narrow Q-factor for high efficient pedaling and gearing for top level racing.
American Classic wheels have taken cross country riding and racing to a higher level of
performance. Their lightweight and durable deep section rim design is also wide and stiff to
translate into quick acceleration. The AC 130 and 225 hubs are time-proven to be stiff, strong,
reliable and still one of the lightest hubsets on the market.
Ritchey’s WCS 4-AXIS 44Stem features an all new squared body profile for a stiffer ride and a
wider 44mm front cap that supports more of the WCS carbon riser bar yielding more precise
steering & handling.
WTB’s Silverado Team offers an elongated shell that delivers superior racer-body fit. The long
narrow length allows the rider more pedaling positions. Complete with Nicro rails & kevlar
protective corners.
The Geax TNT tires are reinforced tires that can be mounted with an inner tube on any rim
or mounted without an inner tube on a tubeless rim. Though slighty heavier than standard
folding tires, they are IDEAL for XC racing.

Asymmetrical chainstays
1 1/8” - 1.5” tapered head tube
Fox 32FRL fork with tapered steerer
FEATURES/BENEFITS
The XCR Pro’s mp³ multi-link suspension design is optimized to shed weight and has a low
center of gravity for tight and fast cornering. Every carbon XCR frame features SST -- Size
Specific Tubing -- with tube diameters designed specifically for each frame. Larger frames
get larger, stiffer OD’s; smaller frames get lighter, smaller OD’s.
For 2011, the XCR main frame is updated with a 1 1/8” - 1.5” tapered head tube to keep the
frame light while increasing stiffness and strength at the crown.
The XCR Pro’s chainstay is asymmetrical and 99.5% full carbon fiber, including the
dropouts. An alloy disc brake post mount is integrated into the carbon on the non-drive side
to provide additional strength under braking loads. Asymmetrical chainstays incorporate an
elevated, straight stay on the non-drive side and a dropped stay on the drive side to achieve
greater tire clearance and a stiffer, lighter rear triangle.
The mp³’s carbon fiber bell crank and 10mm shock hardware increases lateral & torsional
stiffness and enhances rear shock durability and performance.
The Pro’s fully-active 100mm travel is controlled by a Fox RP2 BV rear shock with 2-position
dual overhead cam ProPedal settings and a Boost Valve which provides velocity and
position-sensitive damping that can be designed into the beginning of the stroke, the end of
the stroke, or both at the same time.
Fox’s 32FRL fork offers legendary Fox precision manufacturing & an industry-leading
stiffness-to-weight ratio with a tapered steerer tube for enhanced steering precision and
highly evolved damping performance that is synonymous with the Fox name. The 32FRL
also features adjustable air spring, external rebound adjust and lever-actuated lock-out.
Shimano’s XT Shadow derailleur features a QUIET super low-profile design that won’t slap
the chainstay in rough riding conditions. Direct cable routing reduces the risk of housing
snag.
Shimano’s Deore XT hubs feature adjustable ball and cup hubs with ultra-smooth polished
cups for the lowest friction roll possible! They’re rebuildable too!
Shimano XT’s new 42/32/24 M770 Hollowtech crankset and HG81 11-34 cassette supplies
30 speeds and a full range of gear ratios to take on any terrain.
Ritchey’s 4-AXIS 44Stem features an all new squared body profile for a stiffer ride and a
wider 44mm front cap that supports more of the Pro riser bar yielding more precise steering
& handling.
WTB’s Silverado Team offers an elongated shell that delivers superior racer-body fit. The
long narrow length allows the rider more pedaling positions. Complete with Comfort Zone
cutouts, Nicro rails & kevlar corners.
Geax Mezcal tires with folding bead are race ready, light and responsive. A 1.9” rear tire digs
and searches for traction while the 2.1” front tire keeps a tenacious bite on the terra firma.

This is the frame platform that’s won numerous industry accolades and Bike of the Year awards. Slightly different in design
from our XCR’s, but not that far removed from XCR performance. In fact, we see many other brands returning to this type of
design after experimenting with other elaborately marketed multiple-pivot designs. For 2011, we’ve upgraded the XC frame
to include asymmetrical chainstays for a performance boost.
Rock Shox Rear Shocks.The Ario R offered on the XC Comp weighs in at
just over 200 grams and uses the same damper
body and air can as the more expensive Monarch,
but loses some of the bells and whistles like sag
markings, swivel valves and negative air adjustment.
The Bar R spec’ed on the XC Sport offers adjustable
rebound damping with a single air valve and pre-
set negative air chamber. Both are light and easily
adjusted to suit rider and riding style.
Jamis Trail Saddle.Our mountain bike saddle features a pressure
relief channel for soft-tissue relief, a mid-width
platform that comfortably fits a broad range of
body shapes and a tall-tail pedaling platform.
With scuff-resistant corners.
31.6mm Pedaling Platform.Increasing seat post diameter over 15% from 27.2mm
to 31.6mm not only assures a stronger pillar, but the
decrease in “platform” flex under pedaling load while
seated is significant.
Asymmetrical Chainstays.The Dakar XC’s chainstays are asymmetrical, with
an elevated straight stay on the non-drive side and
a dropped curved stay on the drive side. The drive
side must be dropped & curved to clear the front
derailleur and chain, but running the non-drive
side straight from the dropout to BB pivot reduces
weight while significantly stiffening the rear triangle
laterally. There’s more tire clearance, too.

Disc Specific Rims.Disc hubs twist during braking. This twisting increases
“pull” load on the nipples in the spoke bed, possibly
leading to a shear. To counter this, we spec Mavic rims
with stainless steel eyelet inserts on the XC Comp
which strengthens the rim by spreading the brake
load. On the XC Sport, the Alex TD25 rim is actually
reinforced with additional material in the spoke bed.
Solid Parts Performance.Both Dakar XC Comp & Sport offers robust components
chosen to ensure durable and consistent performance on
every ride. This includes 100mm travel forks with 32mm
stanchions, disc brakes, disc-specific rims, platform
pedals and 31.8mm over-sized bars and stems.
Geax Rubber.Geax is quickly making a name for themselves
in the offroad world and their Mezcal tires ride
exceptionally fast with a semi-slick tread pattern
that delivers exceptionally great cornering on more
difficult trail conditions and steeper slopes.
Fully Integrated Drivetrains.The best shifting bikes are the ones spec’ed with fully
integrated drivetrains. Which is what you will find
on both Dakar XC models: from the shifters, to the
derailleurs front and rear, to the cranksets. Whether
it’s the 30-speed SRAM drivetrain on the XC Comp or
the 27-speed Shimano drivetrains on the XC Sport.
XC mp2 suspension.Dakar XC’s mp2 suspension system is active with a near-
vertical wheel axle travel path, plus excellent lateral &
torsional stiffness for rear wheel tracking precision.

The benefit of a 650B wheel size? That you get the best of both the 26” and 29” wheel worlds without the negatives of each.
650B wheels offer almost all the lightweight, acceleration and flick-ability assets of a 26” wheel while delivering the great
“roll-over anything” atrributes of a 29” wheel without the weight penalty. It might just be the perfect wheel size for everyday
trail riding for everyone. We sure think it is.

into the frame dropouts is not only safer, it’s stiffer.
Increasing the rear axle diameter from 10mm to
12mm makes it only stiffer still. And stiff is good.
The rear wheel tracks directly in line with the frame,
for more precise handling, so you can go faster with
more confidence.
Asymmetrical Chainstays.The Dakar Sixfifty B’s chainstays are asymmetrical,
with an elevated straight stay on the non-drive side
and a dropped curved stay on the drive side. The
drive side must be dropped & curved to clear the
front derailleur and chain, but running the non-drive
side straight from the dropout to BB pivot reduces
weight while significantly stiffening the rear triangle
laterally. There’s more tire clearance, too.
MP4 Suspension.The key difference between our mp4 and mp3
suspension designs is in the linkage and shock rate.
Our XCR mp3 design actuates with a very slight
rising rate, perfect for a short travel XC platform like
the XCR. Our Sixififty B mp4 design is geometrically
very linear in the first 40% of suspension travel, then
falls slightly over the balance of wheel travel. With
the naturally progressive suspension characteristics
of an air shock plus some additional tuning of shock
internals the Sixfifty B’s ride is supple, with the rear
wheel in constant traction. The mp4 suspension
design is also lighter! Thanks to the asymmetrical
chainstays and the much shorter seatstays. Weight
of the 2011 Sixfifty B alloy frame is at least 250
grams lighter than the 2010 version!
2.6-to-1 Shock Leverage Ratio.There are multiple benefits of a low wheel-travel-
to-shock-stroke ratio. Longer shock and seal
life because shocks can be pumped to lower air
pressures without performance detriment. Less
rebound damping is required, so more range of
adjustability is available. The lower leverage ratio is
also going to be more plush on bigger hits.
10mm Shock Hardware.Our 10mm shock hardware is NOT the standard from
our rear shock suppliers. We have to pay more for it
and our production lead times are usually increased
because we specify it. But the increase in lateral &
torsional stiffness for our frames and the enhanced
rear shock durability and performance is worth every
extra dollar and every extra delivery day.

Fluid.White Brother’s plush 130mm travel Fluid fork with
linear air spring is dominating the 650B market at the
moment. Featuring a 20mm thru-axle for stiffness and
security, a full open oil bath damper, 32mm stanchions,
a re-inforced steer tube and beefed-up crown. The
Fluid offers air pressure, compression and rebound
damping adjustability.
American ClassicAmerican Classic wheels are light, responsive
and lusted after by many, and their 650BXC
wheelset doesn’t disappoint. The rear hub features
a patented 6 pawl, cam-actuated engagement
system specifically designed to handle the constant
re-accelerations of XC racing and trail riding. With
flange spacing designed to optimize dishing. The
front hub, has a beefy 25mm axle in addition to the
20mm thru axle, making it extra stiff and strong to
resist fork flex. Total wheelset weight: 1702 grams!
2 x10 SRAM Drivetrains (Sixfifty B2) How can 20 speeds be better than 27 speeds? Because
with SRAM’s 12-36T 10-speed cassettes and 26/39
chainrings, a full gear range with less redundancies can
be achieved, which results in a lighter/faster/better bike.
Eliminating the third chainring reduces the stress of
cross-chaining on the chainrings, the cassette cogs and
the chain. And it narrows the distance between your feet,
which improves alignment of hips, knees and feet for a
faster, more comfortable ride
3 x 10 Shimano Dyna-Sys (Sixfifty B1).Adding a 10-speed rear cassette for mountain bikes
ostensibly would eliminate the 3rd chainring, without
sacrificing an adequate gear range. But Shimano is
calling their 30-speed drivetrain a whole new way of
shifting. Having a wider gear range at the back with
more closely spaced gears creates smoother and more
intuitive shifting, more efficient and powerful pedaling,
and allows the rider to stay in the middle and largest
chainrings for a higher proportion of the time.

2011 DAKAR SIXFIFTY B2
FEATURES/BENEFITS
The SIXFIFTY is modeled on our highly successful XCT Trail Bike design. The mp4 multi-link
suspension design, like on the XCT, is optimized to shed weight, keep a low center of gravity
and offer superb pedaling efficiency. It includes 10mm shock hardware for increased lateral &
torsional stiffness and enhanced rear shock durability and performance.
For 2011, the SixFifty main frame is updated with a 1 1/8” - 1.5” tapered head tube to keep the
frame light while increasing stiffness and strength at the crown.
The rear triangle of the 2011 SixFifty has been improved with our NEW mp4 linkage paired
with shorter seatstays, asymmetrical chainstays, a 12mm x 135mm Maxle thru-axle for
strength and stiffness, and post mounting for the rear brake caliper.
The benefit of a 650B wheel size is that you get the BEST of both the 26” and 29” worlds
without the negatives of each. 650B wheels offer almost all the lightweight, acceleration
and flick-ability assets of a 26” wheel while delivering the great “roll over” attributes of a 29”
wheel WITHOUT the weight penalty.
Rock Shox Monarch RT rear suspension features a Floodgate dial to control pedaling
efficiency and the Solo Air spring system with a single Schrader air valve to simultaneously fill
both the positive and negative air chambers, simplifying suspension setup while retaining a
lightweight and plush ride.
White Brother’s plush 130mm travel Fluid fork with linear air spring is dominating the 650B
market at the moment. Featuring a 20mm thru-axle for stiffness and security, a full open oil
bath damper, 32mm stanchions, a re-inforced steer tube and beefed-up crown. The Fluid
offers air pressure, compression and rebound damping adjustability.
SRAM’S X.0 rear derailleur works as great as it looks thanks to SRAM’s patented 1:1
actuation ratio and Direct Route technology. This is not only one of the lightest RD’s on the
market (192 grams) but thanks to intelligent engineering with carbon & aluminum, it is also
one of the toughest.
The X.0 10-speed shifters take the revolutionary performance of XX and combines it with
the legendary reputation of X.0. The X.0’s borrow the same XX technology such as X-Glide
shifting, Exact Actuation, the X-Dome cassette and wide range 2x10 gearing.
Avid’s new X.0 brakes feature forged aluminum calipers, lever body and lever blades. This
is a do-it-all brake that is fully featured yet weighs only 333 grams. The Elixir’s TaperBore
technology eliminates the need for an independent reservoir, leading to a sleek and light
integrated brake lever.
American Classic wheels are light, responsive and are lusted over by many. At just over 1700
grams, their 650B wheels are lighter than many 26” wheelsets. The front hub is double
sealed and features a 20mm axle and 17mm stainless steel bearings that resist fork flex. The
rear hub features a 6 pawl, cam-actuated freehub engagement system that is specifically
designed to handle the constant re-acceleration of XC racing and trail riding.
Crank Brothers Joplin adjustable seat post offers up to 75mm of seat-dropping range,
activated with a remote lever. Those who have ridden it, can’t ride without it.

reach, 2-pc caliper and top loading pads, with better modulation and lighter weight than
other brakes at this price point!
Shimano’s M552 42/32/24 crankset and 11-34 cassette supply 30 speeds and a full range
of gear ratios to take on any terrain.
SLX Rapidfire Plus shifters offer a “2-way” release, allowing the upper lever to be pulled
with the forefinger or pushed with the thumb depending upon rider preference.
WTB Laser Disc Trail rims are ideal for today’s All Mountain abuse. Their 27-millimeter
width adds strength and accommodates a wide range of tires from 2.0” XC tires to 2.5”
DH treads.
WTB’s Wolverine tires confidently tackle dicey descents, fly across flats and devour steep
climbs. This fast-rolling tire’s moderately-spaced tread pattern combines plentiful working
edges that cling to hardpack with outside knobs that let you shred corners.

laterally. There’s more tire clearance, too.
“As good as it gets” is never good enough at Jamis. Which is why we’ve completely re-designed the XCT for 2011. Featuring
our new mp4 suspension design, asymmetrical chainstays with thru-axle dropouts, tapered head tube and post mount disc
brakes in two full carbon versions and two full alloy version. They’re significantly lighter, stiffer and faster than last year’s
XCTs, but just as plush and tough.
135 x 12mm Maxle Thru-Axle.Securing the rear wheel to the frame by threading it
into the frame dropouts is not only safer, it’s stiffer.

Why BB 30?It’s lighter! By eliminating the BB cups and using
a larger diameter alloy spindle, crankset and BB
weight can be reduced by 12%.
It’s narrower! With the bearings inside the BB shell,
crank width is reduced for better alignment of hips,
knees and ankles.
It’s stiffer! Increasing spindle diameter increases
stiffness and power transfer.
Cartridge Bearing with CNC Pivot HardwareAll XCTs offer sealed cartridge bearings at every
pivot with CNC’d alloy pivot hardware for minimum
maintenance and maximum performance.
Tapered Head Tube and Fork Steerer.Riding fast with control requires steering precision,
which starts with the front of the bike. Stiffening this
area results in less wheel deflection, more wheel
control. Moving to a full 1.5” head tube and steerer
achieves this, but adds unnecessary weight and bulk,
and limits stem choices. But a tapered 1 1 /8” to 1 1 /2”
head tube and steerer serves up a significant increase
in rough terrain tracking and stability without much of
a weight penalty compared to standard 1 1 /8” systems
since the steer tube wall thickness can be reduced.
Adding a 15mm QR thru-axle hub/fork interface takes
steering precision on the XCT over the top.
Dyad XC Ultra Lay-Up.The Dyad XC Ultra lay-up schedule used on our XCT
3 and 4 frames utilizes two different types of high
modulus carbon fibers, applied in specific sequences
and angles to maximize strength, stiffness and ride
quality in the lightest possible package.
2.6-to-1 Shock Leverage Ratio.There are multiple benefits of a low wheel-travel-
to-shock-stroke ratio. Longer shock and seal
life because shocks can be pumped to lower air
pressures without performance detriment. Less
rebound damping is required, so more range of

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The new Dakar XCT 4 frame features a Dyad XC Ultra lay-up of M30 and T700 high modulus
carbon fiber to optimize ride quality, durability and stiffness in as light a package as possible.
Our mp4 multi-link suspension design is optimized to shed weight, keep a low center of
gravity and offer superb pedaling efficiency. It includes 10mm shock hardware for increased
lateral & torsional stiffness and enhanced rear shock durability and performance.
The XCT 4’s fully-active 130mm travel is controlled by a Fox Float RP23 BV rear shock
offering 3-position ProPedal adjustment with Boost Valve for bottom-out control and external
rebound damping so suspension performance can be fine-tuned to deliver the perfect ride for
any terrains.
The XCT frame platform features include a 1 1/8” - 1.5” tapered head tube to keep the frame
light while increasing stiffness and strength at the crown, asymmetrical chainstays to achieve
greater tire clearance and a stiffer, lighter rear triangle and a 12mm x 135mm Maxle thru-axle
for strength and stiffness.
FOX’s 32 Talas RLC delivers 100, 120 and 140mm travel options, all easily accessed on the
fly depending on riding conditions or your mood for the day. With a light-but-stiff 15mm QR
thru-axle with externally adjustable rebound & low speed compression damping plus lock-out
and 1.5” tapered steerer: This fork will take anything you can throw at it.
SRAM’s BB30 oversized 30mm alloy spindles with bearings pressed directly into the BB
shell offer weight savings up to 12%. An additional benefit vs external bearing systems -- the
bearings are less exposed to the elements.
SRAM’S XO rear derailleur works as great as it looks thanks to SRAM’s patented 1:1 actuation
ratio and Direct Route technology. This is not only one of the lightest RD’s on the market (192
grams) but thanks to intelligent engineering with carbon & aluminum, it is also one of the
toughest.
SRAM’S XO shifting system sets the standard for off-road performance. The Zero Loss Travel
design keeps the shifting pawl engaged constantly for instant shifting response, while the
Direct Route Technology (Di.R.T.) assures responsive and precise shifting under all conditions.
SRAM’s new XO brakes replace the Avid Elixir CR Mag and are updated with forged
aluminum calipers, forged aluminum lever body and blades. This is a do-it-all brake that is
fully featured yet weighs only 333 grams. The XCT 4 is spec’ed with post mount front AND

American Classic wheels have taken trail riding to a higher level of performance.
Their lightweight and durable deep section rim design is also wide and stiff to translate into
quick acceleration. The AC 130 and 225 hubs are time proven to be stiff, strong, reliable and
still one of the lightest hubsets on the market.
Crank Brothers’ Joplin adjustable seat post offers up to 75mm of seat-dropping range,
activated with a remote lever. Those who have ridden it, can’t ride without it.
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.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The new Dakar XCT 3 frame features a Dyad XC Ultra lay-up of M30 and T700 high modulus
carbon fiber to optimize ride quality, durability and stiffness in as light a package as possible.
Our mp4 multi-link suspension design is optimized to shed weight, keep a low center of
gravity and offer superb pedaling efficiency. It includes 10mm shock hardware for increased
lateral & torsional stiffness and enhanced rear shock durability and performance.
The XCT 3’s fully-active 130mm travel is controlled by a Fox Float RP23 BV rear shock
offering 3-position ProPedal adjustment with Boost Valve for bottom-out control and
external rebound damping so suspension performance can be fine-tuned to deliver the
perfect ride for any terrains.
The XCT frame platform features include a 1 1/8” - 1.5” tapered head tube to keep the frame
light while increasing stiffness and strength at the crown, asymmetrical chainstays to achieve
greater tire clearance and a stiffer, lighter rear triangle and a 12mm x 135mm Maxle thru-axle
for strength and stiffness.
The XCT 3’s fully-active 130mm travel is controlled by a Rock Shox Monarch RT rear
suspension using a Floodgate dial to control pedaling efficiency and the Solo Air spring
system with a single Schrader air valve to simultaneously fill both the positive and negative
air chambers, simplifying suspension setup while retaining a lightweight and plush ride.
Rock Shox’s Sektor RL fork delivers 100-140mm of on-the-fly adjustable travel, 32mm
stanchions, Motion Control damping with an external rebound adjuster, a light-but-stiff
15mm QR thru-axle and 1.5” tapered steerer to keep it tracking where you point it !
WTB Laser Disc Trail rims are ideal for today’s All Mountain abuse. Its’ 27-millimeter width
adds strength and accommodates a wide range of tires from 2.0“ XC tires to 2.5“ DH treads.
Shimano’s new SLX 42/32/24 crankset and 11-34 cassette supplies 30 speeds and a full
range of gear ratios to take on any terrain.
The Shimano SLX Shadow derailleur features a stronger return spring that delivers positive,
crisp shifts. It was clearly designed specifically for the rigors of aggressive trail riding.
SLX Rapidfire Plus shifters offer a “2-way” release, allowing the upper lever to be pulled with
the forefinger or pushed with the thumb depending upon rider preference.
Avid’s Elixir 3 offers the same ride quality as the upper end Elixirs with slightly fewer features.
The brake features an ambidextrous lever body featuring Tapered Bore technology, easy
access tooled reach adjust and a 2-piece caliper all resulting in a light great feeling brake.
Jamis Lock-On dual-density grips offer a solid feel with lock-on, no-slip, security.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The XCT’s mp4 multi-link suspension design is optimized to shed weight, keep a low center
of gravity and offer superb pedaling efficiency. It includes 10mm shock hardware for increased
lateral & torsional stiffness and enhanced rear shock durability and performance.
For 2011, the XCT main frame is updated with a 1 1/8” - 1.5” tapered head tube to keep the
frame light while increasing stiffness and strength at the crown.
The rear triangle of the 2011 XCT has been improved with our new mp4 linkage paired with
shorter seatstays, asymmetrical chainstays, and 12mm x 135mm Maxle thru-axle for strength
and stiffness. Asymmetrical chainstays incorporate an elevated, straight stay on the non-drive
side and a dropped stay on the drive side to achieve greater tire clearance and a stiffer, lighter
rear triangle.
The XCT 2’s fully-active 130mm travel is controlled by a Rock Shox Monarch RT rear suspension
using a Floodgate dial to control pedaling efficiency and the Solo Air spring system with a
single Schrader air valve to simultaneously fill both the positive and negative air chambers,
simplifying suspension setup while retaining a lightweight and plush ride.
Rock Shox’s Reba RL fork features a Dual Air spring with Motion Control, a damping system
that allows the rider to easily tune their fork with the desired level of efficiency, magnesium
lowers with 15mm thru-axle, tapered 1.5” steerer for stiffness and an external rebound and low
speed compression to “lock” with internal Floodgate for pedaling efficiency.
15mm thru-axle QR offers all the benefits of the 20mm thru-axle design (stiffness!) + the
benefits of the standard 9mm QR system (quick wheel removal!) without any of the down sides.
The weight of the 15mm system is similar to the classic 9mm system (thanks to the lightweight
alloy QR axle & reduction in fork leg weight) , but it is nearly as stiff as a 20mm freeride
thru-axle. The increase in stiffness improves steering & handling significantly. It also puts less
stress on the fork internal, improving fork durability and performance. Braking performance is
enhanced as well.
FSA’s Comet Compact 39/27 crankset features a radical new crank design that allows smaller
chainring combinations. The 3-bolt spider and 86mm bolt circle diameter allow smaller
chainrings to achieve closer to triple gearing than any other gearing option while increasing
spider stiffness.
SRAM’s X9 10 speed rear derailleur features Exact Actuation and Direct Route cable technology
for smooth, quick and precise shifting with less effort. SRAM’s X9 10 speed shifters have all new
redesigned internals and a forged pull lever for greater durability, while SRAM’s new PG-1050
12-36T 10-speed cassette performance is optimized by material choice, tooth profile and shift
ramp design for quick and positive index shifting.
Avid’s Elixir 3 offers the same ride quality as the upper end Elixirs with slightly fewer features.
The brake features an ambidextrous lever body featuring Tapered Bore technology, easy access
tooled reach adjust and a 2-piece caliper all resulting in a light great feeling brake.
WTB’s Vigo Race saddle offers an elongated shell with a mid-width body that provides multiple
options for rider positioning. With WTB’s “love channel” and whale tail design this saddle
delivers a comfortable and supportive platform that is perfectly suited for trail and endurance
riding.

The XCT 1’s fully-active 130mm travel is controlled by a Rock Shox Monarch R rear
suspension using the Solo Air spring system with a single Schrader air valve to
simultaneously fill both the positive and negative air chambers, simplifying suspension
setup while retaining a lightweight and plush ride.
SR/SunTour’s Epicon suspension fork offers a 15mm front axle, Mag lowers with air spring,
hydraulic speed lock-out, and externally adjustable rebound damping. Look closely at the
15mm QR. It’s the coolest front axle ever! The 15mm thru-axle QR offers all the benefits
of the 20mm thru-axle design (stiffness!) + the benefits of the standard 9mm QR system
(quick wheel removal!) without any of the down sides.
Avid Juicy 3 hydraulic disc brakes offer many of the bells and whistles that’s made the Juicy
one of the most popular brakes on the market. Their Tri-align Caliper Positioning System
makes pad/rotor alignment a snap while their Power Reserve Geometry lever design
delivers power and modulation.
Shimano’s new SLX Shadow derailleur features a quiet super low-profile design that
won’t slap the chainstay in rough riding conditions. Direct cable routing reduces the risk of
housing snag. The Shadow derailleur also features a stronger return spring that delivers
positive, crisp shifts. It was clearly designed specifically for the rigors of aggressive trail
riding.
The Saguaro tires from Geax ride exceptionally fast, with low rolling resistance, thanks to
the central ridge of uninterrupted knobs.
WTB’s Vigo Sport saddle offers an elongated shell with a mid-width body that provides
multiple options for rider positioning. With WTB’s “love channel” and whale tail design this
saddle delivers a comfortable and supportive platform that is perfectly suited for trail and

Agility. Flickability. Durability. That’s what our pros want from the Komodo, and that’s what we give them. This is a bike you
can ride to the local jump spot. huck it hard, punish it and know you’ll be riding it home at the end of the day.
31.6mm Seat & Steering Platform.A 35mm seat tube with 31.6mm seat post assures
the stiffest possible pedaling & steering platform,
with a sloping rifled top tube for low stand-over.
FSA AlphaDrive Am Crank.FSA’s AlphaDrive AM crank offers a splined, forged
hollow chromoly spindle for a stiff and secure
crank/BB interface; heat-treated chromoly 33/22
chainrings for solid shifting; an alloy bash guard for
durability; and chromoly pedal inserts in the alloy
crank arms, all to deliver the pedaling-platform
confidence DJ riders demand.
Disc Specific Rims.Disc hubs twist when disc brake calipers rub rotors
during stops. This hub twisting increases “pull” load
on the nipples in the spoke bed. The Alex TD25
spoke bed is cleverly reinforced to resist disc brake
torque and prevent spokes & nipples from shearing
at the spoke bed.
Super Short Chainstays.The Komodo’s rear wheel tucks super tight against
the seat tube with short 410mm chainstays. With
our new forged dropouts, you’ve got a stiffer more
responsive rear end.

and a 31.8mm over-sized handlebar and stem.
Komodo Frame.Stout 7005 tubing, double-gusseted, with
massive 57mm down tube ovalized to
72mm at the 1.5” head tube for impressive
frontal strength.
Geax Gato 2.3”Gato has an aggressive tread with widely
spaced knobs and a self cleaning pattern. It’s
an aggressive, multi-purpose tire especially
well-suited for wet conditions and heavy
soils. The reinforced central knob line offers
reasonably low rolling resistance. Extra casing
beef placed right below the side knobs increase
rigidity and grip when cornering. Grooved, high
knobs deliver plenty of traction and control on
wet and nasty terrains.

2 x10 SRAM Drivetrains.How can 20 speeds be better than 27 speeds?
Because with SRAM’s 12-36T 10-speed cassettes
and 26/39 chainrings, a full gear range with less
redundancies can be achieved, which results in a
lighter/faster/better bike. Eliminating the third
chainring reduces the stress of cross-chaining on
the chainrings, the cassette cogs and the chain. And
it narrows the distance between your feet, which
improves alignment of hips, knees and feet for a
faster, more comfortable ride
We’ve taken our years of the carbon fiber manufacturing experience gained producing Dakar XCR dual suspension frames
and Xenith series road racing frames and applied it to the big-wheeled world of 29’ers. And not just in one limited frame
size, but four.
29’er Geo.Its all in the numbers: a steep 71 - 72 degree
(depending on frame size) headtube angle for fast
responsive steering with no “flip/flop” feel. A 73 - 74
degree seat tube angle to put the rider more directly
over the pedals for an optimal pedaling position.
With a cool , aggressively sloped top tube for the
lowest possible standover on those large diameter
wheels and a stiffer, more responsive frame.
The DiRT on SRAM.SRAM’s XO & X9 shifting systems set the standard
for off-road performance. Their Direct Route
Technology (Di.R.T.) is light, responsive, precise and
impervious to cable housing damage. Their 1:1 Exact
Actuation ratio ensures precise shifts all the time,
every time, while their Zero Loss Travel design keeps
the shifting pawl constantly engaged for instant
shifting response.
Why BB30?It’s lighter! By eliminating the BB cups and using a
larger diameter alloy spindle, crank and BB weight
can be reduced by up to 12%. It’s narrower! With
the bearings inside the BB shell, crank width is
reduced, increasing ankle clearance. It’s stiffer!
Increasing spindle diameter increases crankset
stiiffness. It’s more durable! BB30 bearings are
larger than conventional or external BB bearings,
yielding longer bearing life.

Jamis Lock-On Grips.Our Lock-On grips offer a solid feel with lock-on,
no-”throttle-twist”, security. Featuring a firm but
comfortable non-slip, dual-density, Kraton skeleton
with a single 5mm bolt locking system.
FEA optimized Fiber Lay-Up.We use powerful, state of the art, composite
manufacturing software to analyze and perfect our
layup schedule. The result is optimized layup for
optimal stiffness, greater durability and lighter weight.
Dyad Fiber Lay-Up.The Dyad XC Ultra lay-up schedule employed on our
D29 Team and Pro frames utilizes two different types
of high modulus carbon fibers, applied in specific
sequences and angles to maximize strength, stiffness
and ride quality in the lightest possible package.
Tapered Head Tube and Fork Steerer.Riding fast with control requires steering precision,
which starts with the front of the bike. Stiffening this
area results in less wheel deflection, more wheel
control. Moving to a full 1.5” head tube and steerer
achieves this, but adds unnecessary weight and bulk,
and limits stem choices. But a tapered 1 1 /8” to 1 1 /2”
head tube and steerer serves up a significant increase
in rough terrain tracking and stability without much of
a weight penalty compared to standard 1 1 /8” systems
since the steer tube wall thickness can be reduced.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
D29 Team’s frame features a Dyad XC Ultra lay-up of M30 and T700 high modulus carbon
fiber to optimize ride quality, durability and stiffness.
The SST differential tubing diameter design (larger diameters on larger frames, smaller
diameters on smaller frames) supports big riders without punishing smaller ones.
The larger bore diameter of the BB30 system improves ply compaction yielding a lighter
frame with increased frame strength.
With the maximum bending load at the front of a bike being found at the crown, a 1 1/8”-
1.5” tapered headtube strenghtens and stiffens the frame, while helping to reduce weight
at the same time.
The FOX F32 29 RLC is designed specifically for the demands of tall wheel riding. The
100mm travel fork features low-speed compression lock-out remote, rebound adjust all
with the Fox FIT damper and a 1.5” tapered steerer for lightweight strength and stiffness.
American Classic wheels have taken cross country riding and racing to a higher level of
performance. Lightweight and durable deep section rim design is also wide and stiff to
translate into quick acceleration. AC 130 and 225 hubs are time proven to be stiff, strong,
reliable and still one of the lightest hubsets on the market.
Avid’s new XO brakes replace the CR Mag and are updated with forged aluminum calipers,
forged aluminum lever body and blades. This is a do-it-all brake that is fully featured yet
weighs only 333 grams.
SRAM’s BB30 oversized 30mm alloy spindles with bearings pressed directly into the BB
shell offer weight savings up to 12%. An additional benefit vs external bearing systems; the
bearings are less exposed to the elements.
SRAM’s 12-36T 10-speed cassette is specifically designed to work with 29” wheels, offering
a super low 36T gear that helps get these larger diameter wheels up hlls as quickly as their
26” little brothers.
SRAM’S XO shifting system sets the standard for off-road performance. The Direct Route
Technology (Di.R.T.) is light, responsive, precise & impervious to cable housing damage,
with SRAM’s 1:1 actuation ratio ensuring precise shifts all the time, every time.
The XO shifters offer Zero Loss Travel, where the shifting pawl is always engaged for
instant shifting response. The XO rear derailleur features sealed bearing pulleys for ultra-
smooth pulley action.
Ritchey’s 4-AXIS 44Stem uses an all new squared body profile for a stiffer ride and a wider
44mm front cap that supports more of the carbon riser bar yielding more precise steering
& handling.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
D29 Pro’s frame features a Dyad XC Ultra lay-up of M30 and T700 high modulus carbon
fiber to optimize ride quality, durability and stiffness.
The SST differential tubing diameter design (larger diameters on larger frames, smaller
diameters on smaller frames) supports big riders without punishing smaller ones.
The larger bore diameter of the BB30 system improves ply compaction yielding a lighter

With the maximum bending load at the front of a bike being found at the crown, a 1 1/8”-
1.5” tapered headtube strenghtens and stiffens the frame, while helping to reduce weight
at the same time.
Rock Shox’s Reba RLT 29’er fork features Motion Control, a damping system that allows
the rider to easily tune their fork with the desired level of efficiency. Features include
magnesium lowers, a tapered 1.5” steerer for stiffness and an external rebound and low
speed compression to “lock” with internal Floodgate.
The new Avid Elixir 3 offers the same ride quality as the upper end Elixir but with slightly
fewer features. Still included are the tapered and bored lever with integrated reservoir, tools
free reach, 2-pc caliper and top loading pads, with better modulation and lighter weight
than other brakes at this price point!
FSA’s BB30 Comet Compact crank features hollow forged crank arms resulting in superior
strength and stiffness and a higher strength -to-weight ratio compared to solid arms. The
BB30 design is lighter, stiffer, and stronger then traditional designs.
FSA’s Comet Compact 386 39/27 crankset also features a radical new crank design that
allows smaller chainring combinations. The 3-bolt spider and 86mm bolt circle diameter
allow smaller chainrings to achieve closer to triple gearing than any other gearing option
while increasing spider stiffness.
SRAM’s X9 10 speed rear derailleur features Exact Actuation and Direct Route cable
technology for smooth, quick and precise shifting with less effort. The X9’s 10 speed shifters
have all new internals and a forged pull lever for greater durability. And the new PG-1050
12-36T 10-speed cassette is performance optimized with new tooth profiles and shift ramps
for quick and positive index shifting.
Ritchey’s cockpit parts are manufactured by a 3D-forging process, allowing the part to be
three dimensionally shaped in a single step while carefully controlling inner wall thickness.
This forging process yields optimal grain structure and eliminates all internal imperfections,
allowing Ritchey to use less material without sacrificing strength or durability.
WTB’s Silverado SL features an elongated shell that offers superior racer-body fit.
The long narrow length allows the rider more pedaling positions.

Geax 29 x 2.2’s.These tires roll fast over rock and hardpack, but
don’t clog easily in mud. In fact, they hold their own
in really wet conditions, which for a fast rolling tire is
a nice surprise. You never have to worry about how to
approach the next corner because the blocks in the
tread pattern (what Geax calls their “Rail Design”)
just seems perfectly postioned no matter what angle
you’re at. And the casing is super supple.
Disc Brake Reinforcement Brace.Dragon features a new chainstay/seatstay disc brace
that supports our thin-walled, non-driveside stays
from loads generated by the disc brakes. The new
brace is lighter and stronger than past models.
American Classic Wheelset.American Classic wheels are light, responsive and
lusted after by many, and their MTB29 wheelset
doesn’t disappoint. The rear hub features a
patented 6 pawl, cam-actuated engagement
system specifically designed to handle the constant
re-accelerations of XC racing and trail riding. With
flange spacing designed to optimize dishing. The
front hub, forged out of one solid piece of aluminum
is one of the lightest disc specific front hubs around
without sacrificing stiffness and durability (thanks
to the massive 17mm front axle and stout 17mm
stainless steel bearings). Total wheelset weight:
1650 grams!
Classic Lost Wax Casting.Lost wax casting (aka investment casting) is an
expensive process used mainly for the complicated
shapes of high quality lugs and fork crowns. The
dropouts of the Dragon Race are lost wax molded.
Besides their great looks, they help to laterally stiffen
the rear triangle. A huge plus on a bike with
450mm long chainstays!
It’s a fact -- bigger wheels roll easier over stuff. Stuff like rocks, stutter bumps, mud and sand. In other words, they roll easier
-- and faster -- over the trails you ride. And the ride is smoother if the frame is steel. Like on our Dragons. In two versions:
Reynolds 853 2 x 10 Race or Reynolds 520 3 x 9 Sport.

Real Steel. Reynolds SteelReynolds pioneered the techniques of making butted
tubing around the turn of the century, and their
531 manganese-molybdenum alloy tubing was the
standard of excellence for many decades. The Dragon
Race features a new generation of Reynolds steel:
853 seamless, air-hardened/cold-worked chrome-
moly frame tubes. On the Race, it’s Reynolds 520
double-butted cromo.
853: Air-Hardened Steel.Taking advantage of the high tensile strength of steel
without having to worry about strength degradation
due to welding is incredibly liberating. Welding steel
often results in a 40% strength loss, requiring thick
tubing walls as an offset. Not so with the air-hardened
Reynolds 853 steel alloys used on our Dragon Race.
This material actually gets stronger at the weld zones,
allowing Reynolds to draw the tubing thinner for a
lighter, stronger frame.
Jamis Lock-On Grips.Our Lock-On grips offer a solid feel with lock-on,
no-”throttle-twist”, security. Featuring a firm but
comfortable non-slip, dual-density, Kraton skeleton
with a single 5mm bolt locking system.
185mm Front Rotors.29’ers generate a heap of rotating mass once they
are up to speed. So it only makes sense to use larger
rotors to help control that larger wheel in the most
efficient manner possible. Sure, 160mm rotors will
stop the bike, but when you’re riding like every second
counts, braking for the shortest time possible while
keeping the bike under control is the goal, and a
larger 185mm rotor up front let’s you do this.

Rock Shox’s Tora TK 29 offers 100mm of travel, 32mm stanchions, aluminum crown,
lockout and external rebound controls - all usable and functional “on-the-fly” adjustments
that can be felt by the rider.
WTB Speed Disc All mountain rims feature WTB’s proprietary Global Bead System design
that utilizes deeper grooves for the bead seats as well as two raised lips that lock the tire’s
bead in place on the rim. This holds the tire firmly in place and greatly reduces the chance
of “burping” the tire off the rim in tubeless set-ups
SRAM’s X7 package offers highend performance at a value pricepoint with the highly
successful Impulse Technology, 1:1 Actuation and Direct Route cable technology for precise
shifting with less effort.
SRAM’s new S800 crank arms are made from AL-6066 forged alloy which is 33% stronger
than AL-6061.
Avid Juicy 3 hydraulic disc brakes offer many of the bells and whistles that’s made the Juicy
one of the most popular brakes on the market. Their Tri-align Caliper Positioning System
makes pad/rotor alignment a snap, while their Power Reserve Geometry lever design
delivers power with modulation.
Ritchey’s cockpit parts are manufactured by a 3D-forging process, allowing the part
to be three dimensionally shaped in a single step while carefully controlling inner wall
thickness. This forging process yields optimal grain structure and eliminates all internal
imperfections, allowing Ritchey to use less material without sacrificing strength or
durability.
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.

Eyeletted Rims.Disc brake torque twists the hub during braking,
exerting “pull” load on the spokes and nipples.
We specify eyeletted WTB rims on the Exile II &
III because the eyelets help to strengthen the rim
bed and prevent spoke/nipple shear due to disc
brake torque.
Geax AKA 29 x 2.2’sThe Geax is a fast and grippy tire for all types of
terrain, with lower profile knobs in the center for low
rolling resistance and side knobs derived from their
aggressive Gato tire for grip.
2 x10 SRAM Drivetrain.How can 20 speeds be better than 27 speeds?
Because with SRAM’s 12-36T 10-speed cassettes
and 26/39 chainrings, a full gear range with less
redundancies can be achieved, which results in a
lighter/faster/better bike. Eliminating the third
chainring reduces the stress of cross-chaining on
the chainrings, the cassette cogs and the chain.
And it narrows the distance between your feet, which
improves alignment of hips, knees and feet for a
faster, more comfortable ride.
Jamis XC Saddle.Our Jamis XC saddle features a long, narrow shell
that offers multiple, efficient pedaling positions with
a pressure relief channel for a more comfortable
platform, plus tough scuff-resistant corners and
strong-but-light chromoly rails.
Big wheels aren’t just for big riders anymore. The same things that make big hoops good for them -- improved traction,
more pinch-flat resistance, lower rolling resistance -- make 29’ers an efficient upgrade for lots of other riders too.
The Exiles were so popular in 2010, we’ve expanded the series to include the new 2 x 10 Exile III.

Solid Parts Package.All Exiles offer robust components chosen to ensure
durable and consistent performance on every ride.
This includes 100mm travel forks with magnesium
lowers and lock-out (!), disc brakes, disc-specific rims
and 31.8mm over-sized bars and stems.
29’er Geo.Its all in the numbers: 72 degree headtube angle for
fast responsive steering with no “flip/flop” feel. A 73
degree seat tube angle to put the rider more directly
over the pedals for an optimal pedaling position.
Frame Design.Constructed from 6061 T-6 aluminum for durability
in a lightweight package. Features a semi-integrated
head tube & goose-necked down tube for increased
frontal strength and fork crown clearance, and
an aggressively curved and sloped top tube to
compensate for the larger diameter wheels.
Jamis Lock-On Grips.Our Lock-On grips offer a solid feel with lock-on,
no-”throttle-twist”, security. Featuring a firm but
comfortable non-slip, dual-density, Kraton skeleton
with a single 5mm bolt locking system.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Exile III’s mainframe is made from Kinesis Superlight triple-butted 6061 tubing and
features a semi-integrated head tube & goose-necked down tube for increased frontal
strength (the down tube bend creates clearance for the fork crown). The S-shaped top tube
provides extra clearance and lowers stand-over height.
Rock Shox’s Recon Silver Solo Air 29 fork offers a forged hollow 6061 aluminum crown,
32mm tapered wall 4130 steel stanchions, magnesium lowers, external rebound and
lockout. The Solo Air feature allows air to fill both the positive and negative chambers
using a single valve, simplifying suspension setup while retaining a plush ride.
SRAM’s X9 10 speed rear derailleur features Exact Actuation and Direct Route cable
technology for smooth, quick and precise shifting with less effort.
SRAM’s X9 10 speed shifters have all new redesigned internals and a forged pull lever for
greater durability.
SRAM’s new PG-1050 12-36T 10-speed cassette performance is optimized by material
choice, tooth profile and shift ramp design for quick and positive index shifting.
FSA’s Comet Compact 386 39/27 crankset features a radical new crank design that allows
smaller chainring combinations. The 3-bolt spider and 86mm bolt circle diameter allow
smaller chainrings to achieve closer to triple gearing than any other gearing option while
increasing spider stiffness.
Avid’s Elixir 3 offers the same ride quality as the upper end Elixirs with slightly fewer
features. The brake features an ambidextrous lever body featuring Tapered Bore
technology, easy access tooled reach adjust and a 2-piece caliper all resulting in a light
great feeling brake.
The Exile III’s cockpit includes Ritchey 31.8 over-sized, super-wide flat bars and stem
for stiffer, more solid steering & handling and a 31.6mm seat post for a firmer pedaling
platform.
Ritchey’s cockpit parts are manufactured by a 3D-forging process, allowing the part

higher priced 9-speed cog sets, with patented tooth profiles and shifting ramps.
Tektro’s IO disc brakes offer great braking control in all conditions and actually help
increase rim life by not using the rim sidewall as a braking surface.
Disc brake torque twists the hub during braking, exerting “pull” load on the spokes and
nipples. WTB’s FX28 rims offer a built-up spoke bed to strengthen the rim and prevent
spoke/nipple shear due to disc brake torque.
The Exile I’s cockpit includes a 31.8 over-sized, super-wide bar and stem for stiffer, more
solid steering & handling and a 31.6mm seat post for a firmer pedaling platform.

REASONS TO RIDE A 29’ER
Larger diameter wheels roll over obstacles more easily due to de-
crease in approach angle
Larger wheels have a lower rolling resistance for the same tire width
Larger wheels are less prone to sinking in mud or sand
Larger contact patch increases cornering traction
Larger wheels are less prone to pinch flatting
The 29’er geo offers taller riders a more natural frame geometry

ils
Carbon Fiber Dropouts.Carbon Fiber drop-outs: The chainstay is 99.5% full
carbon fiber, including the dropouts. An alloy disc
brake mount is integrated into the carbon on the
non-drive side to provide additional strength under
braking loads.
Spot-On Geometry.The aggressive frame angles of the dXC series,
combined with a generous top tube length, delivers
an ideal race geometry. Pedaling and climbing are
remarkably efficient. Handling is quick and nimble.
SRAM XX 2 x 10 Drivetrain.The revolutionary 2 x 10 drivetrain on the dXC
Team is powered by a 42/28T BB30 crankset
that maximizes power transfer and stiffness while
minimizing weight. The BB30 version we spec comes
in at a scant 694 grams! The chainrings are CNC-
machined from 7075 alloy blanks that are 2mm
thicker than the competition. That larger BCD and
2-piece insert-molded carbon construction deliver
unparalleled stiffness. And Q-factor is a narrow
156mm! You won’t miss that 3rd chainring either
thanks to the new SRAM XX ten-speed cassette with
huge 11-36T capacity.
Dyad XC Elite and XC Plus Fiber Lay-Ups.The Dyad XC Elite lay-up schedule employed on
our dXC Team model utilizes only high modulus
carbon fibers yielding the lightest, stiffest, highest
performing frames. The Dyad XC plus lay-up
specified for our dXC Pro model uses a blend of high
and mid-modulus carbon fibers to achieve similar
goals, but with an eye on cost.
Engineered for competitive cross country hardtail is a special kind of bike, and in a world that’s dominated by full suspension
machines it takes a special kind of rider to appreciate the near-primal joy and refinement hardtails embody. There are no
frills, no gimmicks. Just pure, near-perfect power transfer and trail-riding that’s stripped to its essence.

SID XX World Cup.The XX Motion Control damping system on the
Sid XX offers efficient small-bump performance
and incredible reliability in a highly tunable
package. It features Dual Flow rebound to
accurately control beginning and ending stroke
rebound, with tunable low-speed compression
and the XLoc hydraulic actuated remote to lock-
out and adjust the desired Floodgate.
Geax TNT Tires.Geax’s TNT AKA’s offer a very supple 120 tpi
casing with extra sidewall protection and stiffness.
The bead is a three-dimensional Aramid folding
bead, one that hooks perfectly into UST rims. The
casing allows you to run either a tube inside or
no tube at all in conjunction with sealant. Tube
or No Tube = TNT. The beauty of TNT for those
who prefer the NT option is that they save about
100grams over a typical UST tire, and you get the
more supple, better riding Geax casing.
FEA Optimized Design.We use powerful, state of the art, composite
manufacturing software to analyze and perfect
our layup schedule. The result is optimized
layup for optimal stiffness, greater durability
and lighter weight.
Tapered Head Tube and Fork Steerer.Riding fast with control requires steering precision,
which starts with the front of the bike. Stiffening
this area results in less wheel deflection, more
wheel control. Moving to a full 1.5” head tube and
steerer achieves this, but adds unnecessary weight
and bulk, and limits stem choices. But a tapered
1 1 /8” to 1 1 /2” head tube and steerer serves up a
significant increase in rough terrain tracking and
stability without much of a weight penalty compared
to standard 1 1 /8” systems since the steer tube wall
thickness can be reduced.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
dXC Team’s frame features a new Dyad XC Elite lay-up which is lighter, stiffer and snappier
than our traditional Dyad lay-up, thanks to a higher percentage of high modulus carbon
fiber.
With the maximum bending load at the front of a bike being found at the crown, a 1 1/8”-
1.5” tapered headtube strengthens and stiffens the frame, while helping to reduce weight
at the same time.
Dakota’s chainstays are asymmetrical, with the driveside larger than the non-driveside,
yielding more volume & stiffness to offset drivetrain torque.
Our dXC Team seatstays run full length from dropout to seat tube increasing lateral
stiffness while offering greater vertical compliance than standard larger diameter
monostays.

and magnesium sliders casting features reduced weight & increased stiffness.
The SID floats on Dual Air suspension -- where both positive and negative air chambers
are independently adjustable, making for an extremely light, highly tuneable suspension
system.
SRAM’s XX BB30 system a lighter, narrower (better Q-Factor), stiffer and more durable
crank/BB system than both traditional & external BB systems. Oversized 30mm alloy
spindles with bearings pressed directly into the BB shell offer weight savings up to 12%.
An additional benefit vs external bearing systems; the bearings are less exposed to the
elements.
The double ring 42/28T chainring combination maximizes power transfer and stiffness
while minimizing weight. The standard 3rd chainring is rarely missed thanks to the huge
gear range of the SRAM XX 10-speed cassette.
American Classic wheels have taken cross country riding and racing to a higher level of
performance. Their lightweight and durable deep section rim design is also wide and stiff
to translate into quick acceleration. The AC 130 and 225 hubs are time proven to be stiff,
strong, reliable and still one of the lightest hubsets on the market.
Ritchey’s 4-AXIS 44Stem uses a squared body profile for a stiffer ride and a wider 44mm
front cap that supports more of the carbon riser bar yielding more precise steering &
handling.
WTB’s Silverado Team features an elongated shell that offers superior racer-body fit. The
long narrow length allows the rider more pedaling positions. Complete with NiCro Tubular
rails & kevlar protective corners
Geax TnT (tube no tube) Technology allows a rider to run their tires with a tube or without,
MINUS the weight penalty of a standard tubeless UST tire but WITH all the benefits: low
air pressure, better traction, zero pinch flats, lower rolling resistance.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Dakota Pro’s carbon fiber frame features a Dyad XC Plus lay-up comprised of 2 types of
carbon fiber material to optimize ride quality and stiffness.
The SST differential tubing diameter design (larger diameters on larger frames, smaller
diameters on smaller frames) supports big riders without punishing smaller ones.
The larger bore diameter of the BB30 system improves ply compaction yielding a lighter
frame with increased frame strength.
With the maximum bending load at the front of a bike being found at the crown, a 1 1/8”-
1.5” tapered headtube strengthens and stiffens the frame, while helping to reduce weight
at the same time.
Fox’s 32 chassis features increased crown/stanchion overlap & Quad-tapered sliders to
reduce weight while optimizing strength & stiffness. A tapered steerer tube provides more
strength at the crown while still keeping the fork light.
Shimano’s Deore XT Shadow rear derailleur features a quiet super low-profile design that
won’t slap the chainstay in rough riding conditions. Direct cable routing reduces the risk of
housing snag.
FSA’s Comet crank features BB30 oversized 30mm alloy spindles with bearings pressed
directly into the BB shell to offer weight savings up to 12%. An additional benefit vs
external bearing systems; the bearings are less exposed to the elements.
The Comet’s 42/32/24 crankset and Shimano’s 11-36 cassette supply 30 speeds and
a huge range of gear ratios to take on any terrain.
Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes feature a forged Mono-body caliper that’s super
lightweight & rigid, a shim-less mounting system that makes set-up & adjustment a
snap and an opposed 2-piston brake design that provides instantaneous power. This
system utilizes mineral oil for hydraulic fluid which is non-corrosive and much more
environmentally friendly than standard DOT fluid
Shimano’s Deore XT Rapidfire shifters offer a “2-way” release, allowing the upper lever
to be pulled with the forefinger or pushed with the thumb depending upon rider preference
Ritchey’s 3D-forging process shapes each part 3 dimensionally in a single step while

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Dakota Race’s frame is made with lightweight, triple-butted, Kinesis SuperLight (KSL)
tubing and features a semi-integrated head tube & gusseted down tube for increased
frontal strength, a carbon fiber monostay for additional lateral stiffness and vibration
damping, and a radiused/sloping top tube design that maximizes standover clearance.
Rock Shox’s Recon Gold RL Solo Air fork offers a weight-optimized aluminum crown,
32mm 7000 series aluminum stanchions, magnesium lowers, and MotionControl
damping: all yielding an XC-race worthy fork. The Solo Air feature allows air to fill both the
positive and negative chambers using a single valve, simplifying suspension setup while
retaining a plush ride.
Shimano’s 42/32/24 crankset and 11-36 cassette supply 30 speeds and a full range of gear
ratios to take on any terrain.
The Shimano SLX Shadow derailleur features a stronger return spring that delivers
positive, crisp shifts. It was clearly designed specifically for the rigors of aggressive trail
riding.
Shimano’s M552 crank features a 2-piece crankset with an integrated crank arm and
bottom bracket increasing rigidity with less weight. With wider bearing positioning, rigidity
is enhanced and pedaling force is efficiently transmitted.
Shimano’s M595 hubs feature a Center Lock disc-rotor fixing system: the rotor installs on
splines cut on the non-driveside hub flange & is secured by a lock-ring. It’s lighter than
traditional 6-bolt fixing systems.
Shimano’s M445 disc brakes utilize mineral oil for hydraulic fluid which is non-corrosive
and much more environmentally friendly than standard DOT fluid.
Ritchey’s cockpit parts are manufactured by a 3D-forging process, allowing the part to be
three dimensionally shaped in a single step while carefully controlling inner wall thickness.
This forging process yields optimal grain structure and eliminates all internal
imperfections, allowing Ritchey to use less material without sacrificing strength or
durability.
Our new Jamis XC saddle features a long, narrow shell that offers multiple, efficient
pedaling positions with a pressure relief channel for a more comfortable platform, plus
tough scuff-resistant corners and strong-but-light chromoly rails.
Geax “Rails Design” concept allows for predictable grip both on high and low radius bends
thanks to the two parallel sideknob arrays.

Disc Brake Reinforcement Brace.Dragon features a new chainstay/seatstay disc brace
that supports our thin-walled, non-driveside stays
from loads generated by the disc brakes. The new
brace is lighter and stronger than past models.
Classic Lost Wax Casting.Lost wax casting (aka investment casting) is an
expensive process used mainly for the complicated
shapes of high quality lugs and fork crowns. The
dropouts of the Dragon are lost wax molded.
Besides their great looks, they help to laterally
stiffen the rear triangle significantly.
Feel of Steel.The legendary ride of steel: that’s what these
bikes are all about. There is an allure to steel that
transcends its traditional artisan appeal. And that’s
its ride quality. “Stiff but buttery smooth” is the
phrase most often used to describe that trait. It’s the
benchmark against which all other frame materials
are measured.
We wrote the book on cross-country steel. 30 years of it. These might look like retro rigs, but there’s nothing outdated or
outmoded about the way they ride. The Dragon frame gives as much as it gets, the harder you push it, the better it feels.
Shimano Dyna-Sys.Adding a 10-speed rear cassette for mountain
bikes ostensibly would eliminate the 3rd chainring,
without sacrificing an adequate gear range. But
Shimano is calling their 30-speed drivetrain a whole
new way of shifting. Having a wider gear range at
the back with more closely spaced gears creates
smoother and more intuitive shifting, more efficient
and powerful pedaling, and allows the rider to stay
in the middle and largest chainrings for a higher
proportion of the time.
55
Ha
rdta
ils
Reinforced Head Tube.Reinforcing rings are brazed on the head tube
to prevent the headset and fork movement from
deforming the thin walled chrome-moly head tube.
It’s Hammer Time.Mountain bike wheels take a lot of abuse, so rim
strength is critical for high-end bikes like the
Dragon. Mavic, always on the forefront of rim and
wheel innovation, hammer hardens the rims of
the CrossRide Disc wheelset in the area where the
spokes exert the greatest stress. This strengthens
the rim at it’s weakest point and improves the rim’s
life expectancy and resistance to micro-cracking.
Dragon Manufacturing.All tubing is cleaned before being cut, jigged and
welded. All tubing cuts are deburred and buffed
before welding. We use heat sinks in the head and
seat tubes to control distortion. And our low angle
welding tracks form precisely arced, low-profile TIG
beads that disperses heat more evenly, requiring
less post-welding frame alignment.
Reynolds Air-Hardened Steel.Taking advantage of the high tensile strength
of steel without having to worry about strength
degradation due to welding is incredibly liberating.
Welding steel often results in a 40% strength loss,
requiring thick tubing walls as an offset. Not so with
the air-hardened Reynolds 853 steel alloy used on
Dragon Pro. This material actually gets stronger
at the weld zones, allowing Reynolds to draw the
tubing thinner for a lighter, stronger frame.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Reynolds air-hardened chromoly actually gains strength in the weld zone area, instead
of losing it like all other welded material, allowing Reynolds to draw this tubing thinner,
for a lighter, stiffer frame with outstanding “feel”.
The Dragon features a chainstay/seatstay disc brace that supports our thin-walled stays
from loads generated by the disc brakes.
Fox’s 32mm stanchion chassis features increased crown/stanchion overlap
& Quad-tapered lower legs to optimize strength & stiffness while driving weight out.
The FIT damper in the FOX forks was originally designed for the rigors
of World Cup DH racing and was redesigned to meet the needs of XC riders.
Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes feature a forged Mono-body caliper that’s super
lightweight & rigid, a shim-less mounting system that makes set-up & adjustment a
snap and an opposed 2-piston brake design that provides instantaneous power. This
system utilizes mineral oil for hydraulic fluid which is non-corrosive and much more
environmentally friendly than standard DOT fluid.
Shimano 3x10 drivetrain. 42/32/24 crankset and 11-34 cassette…that’s 30 speeds
for ALL conditions.
Shimano’s Deore XT Rapidfire shifters offer a “2-way” release, allowing the upper lever to
be pulled with the forefinger or pushed with the thumb depending upon rider preference.
Shimano’s Deore XT Hollowtech II crankset features a hollow forging for lighter weight
with an integrated BB for increased rigidity & pedaling efficiency.
Shimano’s Deore XT Shadow derailleur features a quiet super low-profile design that
won’t slap the chainstay in rough riding conditions. Direct cable routing reduces the risk
of housing snag.
Mavic’s Crossride Disc wheelset features 6106 anodized aluminum rims “hammer
hardened” to increase strength where the spokes exert the greatest stress. The straight
pull bladed spokes are self-locking to stay tight and true and QRM sealed cartridge
bearings spin flawlessly.
Ritchey’s cockpit parts are manufactured by a 3D-forging process, allowing the part
to be three dimensionally shaped in a single step while carefully controlling inner wall
thickness. This forging process yields optimal grain structure and eliminates all internal
imperfections, allowing Ritchey to use less material without sacrificing strength or

31.6mm Pedaling Platform.Increasing seat post diameter over 15% from
27.2mm to 31.6mm not only assures a stronger pillar
but the decrease in “platform” flex under pedaling
load while seated is significant.
Geax Rails Design Tread.Many, small side knobs are placed on two parallel
arrays:
--- the ones closer to the tread center help cornering
on low-speed, tight-radius bends;
--- the ones closer to the sidewall are very effective
on high-speed, larger-radius bends.
The result is a tire that makes you feel like you’re
“on rails” when cornering.
Disc Specific Rims.Disc hubs twist during braking. This twisting increases
“pull” load on the nipples in the spoke bed, possibly
leading to a shear. To counter this, we add stainless
steel eyelet inserts to the rims of the Durango 3 and
2 which strengthens the rim by spreadingg the brake
load. On the Durango 1, the Alex TD25 rim is actually
reinforced with additional material in the spoke bed.
Jamis Trail Saddle.Our mountain bike saddle features a pressure relief
channel for soft-tissue relief, a mid-width platform
that comfortably fits a broad range of body shapes
and a tall-tail pedaling platform. With scuff-resistant

Hayes Hydraulics.Hayes Stroker Ryde Comp brakes offer a radial
master cylinder design. The radial design moves
the lever pivot point inward toward the centerline
of the bike which produces less flexing of the
master cylinder housing during braking. The
reduction in flex yields more power with better
feel and modulation.
Fully Integrated Drivetrains.The best shifting bikes are the ones spec’ed with
fully integrated drivetrains. Which is what you will
find on every Durango model: from the shifters,
to the derailleurs front and rear, to the cranksets.
Whether it’s the 30-speed SRAM drivetrain on the
Durango 3 or the 27-speed Shimano drivetrains on
the Durango 1 & 2.
Solid Performance.Every Durango offers robust components chosen to
ensure durable and consistent performance on every
ride. This includes 100mm travel forks with 30mm
stanchions and lock-out (!), disc brakes, disc-specific
rims and 31.8mm over-sized bars and stems.
Frame Design for 2011.The Durango platform features a radiused, sloping
top tube that optimizes stand-over clearance while
adding great looks at the same time. The over-sized
downtube is S-shaped for fork crown clearance and
extra lateral stiffness at the BB.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Durango’s 2011 frame platform features a radiused, sloping top tube that optimizes
stand-over clearance, an S-bend down tube for maximum fork crown clearance
and S-bend seatstays to enhance heel clearance.
Rock Shox’s Tora TK offers 100mm of travel, 32mm stanchions, aluminum crown, turn key
lockout and external rebound controls - all usable and functional “on-the-fly” adjustments
with performance benefits that can be felt immediately by the rider.
SRAM’s X7 delivers the highest value MTB components in class. Exact actuation
technology brings XX shifting performance to the X7 price level!
SRAM 10 speed X-Glide shifting technology delivers mind-blowing, lightning-fast,
dead-accurate shifting.
SRAM S1000 44/33/22 crankset and PG-1050 11-32 cassette provides 30 gears to climb
and cover more ground faster on any mountain.
A new and improved GXP bottom bracket features Gutter Seal Technology which
drastically improves sealing against the elements and reduces drag: any crank supported
by the new GXP spins smoother, faster, longer.
Shimano’s M475 disc hubs feature cup & cone bearings which displace lateral & vertical
loads more effectively than sealed cartridge bearings for super-smooth rotation and
greater durability. Cup & cone bearings are also easier to maintain & adjust than sealed
cartridge bearings. These hubs also feature double contact labyrinth seals that completely
shield the bearings from the elements.
SRAM’S Powerglide II cassettes have been tested on the Pro circuit and proven on the
podium. Powerglide II’s tooth profiles and shift ramps deliver quick, positive, precise shifts
reliably ride after ride.
Hayes Stroker Ryde Comp brakes offer a radial master cylinder design. The radial design
moves the lever pivot point inward toward the centerline of the bike which produces less
flexing of the master cylinder housing during braking. The reduction in flex yields more
power with better feel and modulation.
Disc brake torque inevitably twists the hubs under braking loads which increases the
tension on some of the spokes and increases the “pull” on the nipples in the spoke bed.
The addition of eyelet inserts to the Alex DP17 rims effectively strengthens the rims by
spreadingg spoke tension and brake load over a greater surface, preventing nipples from
shearing through the spoke bed.
Our Jamis Trail saddle offers an extra wide rear platform to support riders of all shapes,
with extra long rails to promote a better fit.
The Geax Barro Mountain tires really hit the loam. The tire’s ability to roll fast and grip well
without packing up with mud makes it a favorite of many riders in the Northeast.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Durango’s 2011 frame platform features a radiused, sloping top tube that optimizes
stand-over clearance, an S-bend down tube for maximum fork crown clearance and
S-bend seatstays to enhance heel clearance.
RST Omega TnL offers the same suspension system as the Gila Pro TnL on Durango 1.
100mm’s of coil-sprung/MCU-damped travel with hydraulic lockout & 30mm stanchions.
So why upgrade? Magnesium slider! Moving from aluminum legs to magnesium saves
about 400 grams! That’s nearly a full pound of performance-robbing weight saved.
Shimano’s Deore Shadow derailleur features a super low-profile design that won’t slap the
chainstay in rough riding conditions. Direct cable routing reduces the risk of housing snag.
The Shadow derailleur also features a stronger return spring that delivers positive, crisp
shifts. It was clearly designed specifically for the rigors of aggressive trail riding.
Tektro’s Draco dual piston hydraulic disc brakes offer more power, better modulation &
feel, require less maintenance, and are often lighter than many cable-actuated disc brakes.
A full Shimano Deore 27-speed drivetrain with Shadow rear derailleur,
RapidFire Plus SL shifters & Hyperdrive SG-X M442 chainrings assures precise
and consistent shifts ride after ride.
Shimano’s splined Octalink BB and crank interface offers much greater strength &
rigidity than standard square taper designs, thanks to the increase in contact area
between BB spindle & crank arm.
SRAM’S Powerglide II cassettes have been tested on the Pro circuit, proven on the podium.
Powerglide II’s tooth profiles and shift ramps deliver quick, positive, precise shifts reliably.

Frame Materials.Lightweight-but-strong 6061 series aluminum
tubing, featuring over-sized, ovalized & tapered
tubing for increased frame strength.
Replaceable Derailleur Hanger.Because it’s much easier and much less expensive
to replace a derailleur hanger than it is to repair or
replace a frame, every aluminum Trail X frame offers
a replaceable derailleur hanger designed to yield in
a crash before the frame does. Part # 12-1856.
Full Shimano Shifting System.Fully integrated shifting systems offer the most
precise and reliable performance. That’s why our
Trail X3, X2 and X1 models all offer Shimano shifters,
Shimano front and rear derailleurs and Shimano
cassettes or freewheels.
Stopping Power.The Tektro disc brakes offered on the Trail X2 and X3
feature a floating pad design that ensures the pads
automatically and consistently adjust to the rotor
angle. The pads are held in place magnetically, re-
quire no tools to remove or replace and can be easily
checked for wear. if the pads have worn to the point
that the caliper piston pin-postioning hole is visible
from the pad side, the pads need to be replaced.
Building great entry-level bikes that ride much like (and look a lot like) our hi-end bikes is what these bikes are all about.
While we’re genuine bike geeks, and new bike technology and parts do get us excited in ways every bike geek can under-
stand, no way this compares to the thrill of turning new riders on to cycling. And no bikes showcase our commitment to do
just that better than our Trail X bikes.

Alex TD25 Disc-Specific Rims.Disc hubs twist during braking. This twisting
increases “pull” load on the nipples in the spoke
bed. The Alex TD25 spoke bed is cleverly reinforced
to resist disc brake torque and prevent spokes &
nipples from shearing at the spoke bed.
Top Tube Cable Routing.Running the cables up high on the top tube keeps
cables and housing out of the muck for more precise
and reliable shifting performance.
Frame Design & Sizing.The sloping Enduro III frame design of the Trail
X-Series is offered in up to 8 sizes (depending on
model), assuring the best possible customer fit for
optimal handling and enhanced comfort Our small-
est 12” & 13” frames are especially suitable for junior
riders. These frame sizes can comfortably & safely fit
taller kids as young as 9 or 10.
Dual Water Bottle Mounts.Every Trail X model offers two water bottle mounts
located inside the main frame. This provides excel-
lent hydration capacity in an easily accessible posi-
tion. Bottles stay cleaner in this position too.

New Enduro III frame design
RST Gila TNL fork with 100mm travel, external preload adjust and
lock-out
Shimano New Alivio rear and Acera front derailleur
FEATURES/BENEFITS
Trail X3’s frame is made of lightweight-but-strong 6061 series aluminum tubing,
featuring over-sized, ovalized & tapered tubing for increased frame strength.
The sloping Enduro III frame design is offered in 5 sizes, assuring the best possible
customer fit for optimal handling and enhanced comfort.
Our smallest 13” frame size is especially suitable for junior riders. This frame size
can comfortably & safely fit taller kids as young as 10 or 11. With the Trail X’s larger
diameter 26” wheels and 300mm seat post with quick-release clamp, this bike will last
them for years.
RST’s Gila TNL suspension fork delivers 100mm of MCU-damped telescoping travel with
external preload adjustment, lightweight alloy crown and sliders and lock-out for bob-free
hill climbing.
The X3’s 24-speed drivetrain features an up-spec’ed Shimano Alivio rear derailleur,
Shimano Acera front derailleur, intuitive EZ-Fire Plus shifters, and Hyperglide HG30 11-32
cassette with an SR 42/32/22 crankset for true go-anywhere capability.
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 X3 also features a cassette freehub rear hub, with hub bearings further outboard
on the axle than on a standard rear hub threaded to accept a freewheel, which provides
greater bearing support to the axle for increased strength and durability.
Disc brakes stop great in all conditions & increase wheel longevity by eliminating the rim
sidewall from the brake system.
Aheadset’s patented threadless steering system not only saves weight, but pre-loading the
headset bearings for optimal steering precision is much easier than on standard threaded
headsets.
Sealed cartridge bottom brackets reduce maintenance time and expense.
The 26 x 1.95” XC knobbies on all our Trail X-series bikes are from the same manufacturer
that produces Maxxis tires: one of the most respected names in off-road rubber in the
business.
The Trail X-series ATB saddle with front & rear protective guards offers plenty of comfort,

New Enduro III frame design
FEATURES/BENEFITS
The Trail XR is an IBD-quality, low-maintenance utility bike with a price tag most
can live with: perfect for college or job commuting during the week and a fitness ride
on the weekend.
Trail XR’s frame is made of high strength, hi-tensile steel and features over-sized,
ovalized & tapered tubing for increased frame strength.
The sloping Enduro III frame design is offered in 8 sizes, assuring the best possible
customer fit for optimal handling and enhanced comfort.
Our smallest 12” frame size is especially suitable for junior riders. This frame size
can comfortably & safely fit taller kids as young as 9 or 10. With the Trail X’s larger
diameter 26” wheels and 300mm seat post with quick-release clamp, this bike will last
them for years.
Our straight-bladed tubular unicrown fork is significantly lighter than a suspension fork,
offering more responsive steering and an easier to lift-up-the-dorm-stairs bike.
SRAM’s mid cage X3 rear derailluer offers quick, solid shifts reliably. A great value for
beginners or light adventurers.
XR’s 21-speed SRAM twist-shift drivetrain shifts intuitively and smoothly. With 3 chainrings
up front and a 13-28 indexed freewheel in back, steep hills are flattened and fun.
Not so long ago, V-brakes were the most powerful bike brakes known to man. Then disc
brakes came along. No biggie. V-brakes will still lock up your wheels & stop you safely.
And they don’t weigh as much as discs!
Every Trail XR offers quick release front & rear wheels and a quick release saddle assembly
to make transport, storage, or locking up a snap.
That long-quilled, hi-rise stem positions the XR riser handlebar higher than on our
other Trail series bikes with threadless steering systems for a more propped-up,
less-weight-on-the-wrists riding position.
The 26 x 1.95” XC knobbies on our Trail X-series bikes are from the same
manufacturer that produces Maxxis tires: one of the most respected names in
off-road rubber in the business.
The Trail X-series ATB saddle with front & rear protective guards offers plenty

Asymmetrical Chainstays.Chainstay design is critical for the efficient transfer
of power from pedal to wheel. But simply beefing
up the entire area to prevent frame flex under
pedaling torque can yield unnecessary weight
gain and stiffness. The Xenith chainstay design
maximizes stiffness while minimizing weight
through asymmetrical design - the driveside
chainstay is 10% larger and 30% stiffer to offset
drivetrain induced flex.
Why BB30?It’s lighter! By eliminating the BB cups and using a
larger diameter alloy spindle, crank and BB weight
can be reduced by up to 12%. It’s narrower! With the
bearings inside the BB shell, crank width is reduced,
increasing ankle clearance. It’s stiffer! Increasing
spindle diameter increases crankset stiiffness.
It’s more durable! BB30 bearings are larger than
conventional or external BB bearings, yielding longer
bearing life.
1K high Modulus Outer Weave.The cosmetic final layer of most carbon frames
are usually made of lower modulus 3K, 6K or 12K
carbon fiber. Not so with the Xenith SL. We use an
ultra-high modulus fiber woven in a beautifully tight
1K pattern which further contributes to the strength
of the frame, allowing us to reduce frame weight
even more.
Omniad and Dyad Fiber Lay-Ups.The Omniad lay-up schedule employed on our SL
model utilizes only ultra-high modulus carbon fibers
yielding the lightest, stiffest, highest performing
frames. The Dyad Elite lay-up found on our Team
and Elite models blends two different types of
high modulus carbon fibers to maximize strength,
stiffness and ride quality in the lightest possible
package. The Dyad Ultra lay-up featured on our Pro
and Race models blends a high and mid-modulus
carbon fiber to achieve similar goals, but with an
eye on cost. And the Dyad Plus lay-up utilized on
our Xenith Comp also mixes high and mid-modulus
carbon fibers, but in different proportions to provide
our most affordable Xenith.
The Pro-circuit, race-tested Xenith platform lets you scorch corners in criteriums or make up time on twisty descents with a
high-modulus carbon fiber monocoque frame that’s so ride-tune and gram-lean it’s truly a magic carpet to the podium. Just
ask the riders of Jamis-Sutter Home and Colavita-Baci.

Tapered Head Tube and Steerer.By enlarging the bottom bearing of the head tube
from 1 1 /8” to 1 1 /2”, not only are head tube
stiffness and steering precision increased, but we
have sufficient room in the crown to produce a truly
hollow fork from the dropout, up through the crown
and steerer tube. It’s significantly stronger and
stiffer for precise steering while still providing the
perfect amount of vertical compliance for comfort.
Tri-Oval Tubing Profiles.The top and down tubes of the Xenith frame are tri-
ovalized for optimal stiffness in the lightest possible
package. This tubing design orients the axis of
each of the ovals to increase lateral stiffness while
optimizing vertical compliance.
Impact Resistant Fiber Binder.Ultra-high modulus carbon fiber is perfectly
suited for the high strength, high stiffness, low
weight demands of professional racing. Problem
is, it’s not extraordinarily impact resistant. That’s
why we specify a resin binder that improves
impact resistance on our ultra-high modulus SL
frames by up to 40%.
FEA optimized Fiber Lay-Up.We use powerful, state of the art, composite
manufacturing software to analyze and perfect
our layup schedule. The result is optimized
layup for optimal stiffness, greater durability
and lighter weight.
Near Net Molding.A revolutionary manufacturing process that yields
near perfect compaction and eliminates fiber wash
and wrinkles during the molding process.
One-Piece Forged Dropouts.The Xenith dropouts are a solid, 1-piece forged
design, as opposed to the standard 2- piece/
bolt together type, reducing flex while enhancing
structural integrity and frame longevity.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
What’s NearNet? A revolutionary molding technology that produces the cleanest, most
consistent, most accurate monocoque with the highest compaction qualities we’ve yet
popped from a Xenith mold.
Our ultra-high modulus Omniad lay-up has been FEA optimized, machine tested,
then field tested on the road and in races to insure the perfect fiber lay-up, eliminating
unneccessary layers of material, assuring the lightest, strongest, best performing
Xenith SL yet!!
Every SL is made with an impact resistant resin binder that enhances structural integrity
and increases impact toughness.
The Xenith’s Tri-Oval SST differential tubing diameters (larger diameters on larger frames,
smaller diameters on smaller frames) support big riders without punishing smaller ones.
Our “conventional”, non-integrated seat tube/seat post design simplifies test rides
as well as travel and enhances re-sell value.
The revolutionary NearNet molding technology is now used on our Xenith SL fork
producing near perfect compaction and strength while shaving precious grams.
Our seatstays run full length from dropout to seat tube increasing lateral stiffness while
offering greater vertical compliance than standard larger diameter monostays.
Our forged one-piece dropouts, with replaceable derailleur hanger, offer greater strength
and reliability than the industry-standard bolted & glued dropouts.
The Xenith’s “muscle” shaped chainstays are asymmetrical, with the driveside 10% larger
than the non-driveside, yielding 30% more volume & stiffness to offset drivetrain torque.
Our front derailleur clamp spreads shifting forces around the tube instead of localizing
them at one point as would the more standard rivet-on front derailleur perch.
The top of the Xenith seat tube is slotted twice on each side to spread clamp torque
around the tube, and seat posts are securely and evenly clamped with an opposing
2-bolt 7075 seat clamp
Zipp’s 404 wheels feature new “Carbon Bridge” rims, Sapim CX-ray spokes & Zipp 88/188
hubs: a mere 1278 grams clad with the most popular Pro Tour tire -- Vittoria’s Corsa Evo
CX tubulars
SRAM’s Red group is the lightest in the world, featuring carbon, titanium
and DoubleTap shifting.

Shimano DuraAce Di2 shifting
Amercican Classic 420 Aero 3 wheels
Vittoria Diamante Pro Tires
FEATURES/BENEFITS
Xenith Team’s frame and fork feature a new DYAD lay-up called Elite, which is stiffer,
lighter, snappier than our traditional Dyad lay-up, thanks to a higher percentage of high
modulus carbon fiber.
The Xenith’s Tri-Oval SST differential tubing diameters (larger diameters on larger frames,
smaller diameters on smaller frames) support big riders without punishing smaller ones.
The Xenith’s “conventional”, non-integrated seat tube/seat post design simplifies test rides
as well as travel and enhances re-sell value.
Designing the fork to incorporate a 1.5” crown race allowed us to produce a full-hollow
fork, from steerer tube through crown and down to the dropouts: it’s not just lighter,
it’s stronger!
Our seatstays run full length from dropout to seat tube increasing lateral stiffness while
offering greater vertical compliance than standard larger diameter monostays.
Our forged one-piece dropouts, with replaceable derailleur hanger, offer greater strength
and reliability than the industry-standard bolted & glued dropouts.
Xenith’s “muscle” shaped chainstays are asymmetrical, with the driveside 10% larger than
the non-driveside, yielding 30% more volume & stiffness to offset drivetrain torque.

The top of the Xenith seat tube is slotted twice on each side to spread clamp torque
around the tube, and seat posts are securely and evenly clamped with an opposing 2-bolt
7075 seat clamp.
Shimano’s Electronic Dura Ace Di2 brings new precision to bicycle componentry.
Truly revolutionary.
American Classic 420 Aero 3 wheelset takes performance to a new level: 34mm deep
section aero rims weighing only 420 grams (the lightest deep section rim in the world),
bladed spokes and AC’s superlight hubs and a unique spoke pattern on the rear wheel that
equalizes spoke tension.
Selle San Marco popular Aspide with hollow cro-mo rails offers ProTour level performance
in a comfortable package.
Ritchey’s WCS level components brings World Championship Series performance
standards to the cockpit.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Born from the same molds as our SL and Team, sharing many of the same design features,
constructed with our lightweight-but-durable Dyad Ultra lay-up.
The Xenith’s Tri-Oval SST differential tubing diameters (larger diameters on larger frames,
smaller diameters on smaller frames) support big riders without punishing smaller ones.
Designing the fork to incorporate a 1.5” crown race allowed us to produce a full-hollow
fork, from steerer tube through crown and down to the dropouts: it’s not just lighter,
it’s stronger!
Our seatstays run full length from dropout to seat tube increasing lateral stiffness while
offering greater vertical compliance than standard larger diameter monostays.
Our forged one-piece dropouts, with replaceable derailleur hanger, offer greater strength
and reliability than the industry-standard bolted & glued dropouts.
Xenith’s “muscle” shaped chainstays are asymmetrical, with the driveside 10% larger than
the non-driveside, yielding 30% more volume & stiffness to offset drivetrain torque.
Our front derailleur clamp spreads shifting forces around the tube instead of localizing
them at one point as would the more standard rivet-on front derailleur perch.
The top of the Xenith seat tube is slotted twice on each side to spread clamp torque
around the tube, and seat posts are securely and evenly clamped with an opposing 2-bolt
7075 seat clamp
SRAM’s Force drivetrain features carbon Zero-Loss shifting with lighter action and reduced
shifter throw, new front derailleur, lighter brakes and a new BB30 carbon crank.
Mavic’s New Ksyrium Equipe wheelset in white is not just visually striking it offers ProTour
performance at a reasonable price.
SRAM’s Force BB30 carbon crank is superlight and features 52/36 chainrings for an
increased gear range without sacrificing top end gearing.
Selle San Marco’s popular Aspide saddle is extraordinarily lightweight and comfortable
and is just as innovative today as when it was introduced more than 8 years ago.
Ritchey’s Pro components: the “Pro” stands for Proven. Light, reliable, great looking.

Chainstay Mounted Rear Brake.We look at every component on the bike and the
opportunity to reduce drag. Several grams of drag
can be reduced by locating the rear brake under the
chainstay. We were one of the pioneers in this area
and others have followed.
Dropout Axle Adjustors.We’ve included these to fine-tune wheel position and
then easily maintain it when swapping wheels from
training hoops to race-day jewels.
78 Degree Seat Tube Angle.Adopting an aero position with your torso requires
rotation of the body and hips forward, requiring
a steeper seat tube angle than a conventional
road frame. 78 degrees is the perfect balance for
optimum balance.
Contoured Seat Tube.The contoured seat tube not only makes the T-Series
more aero by tucking the rear wheel behind the seat
tube, it improves power transfer by minimizing rear
triangle flex.
The ”Race of Truth” it’s called: just you, the wind and the clock. Whether it’s a Triathlon or a TT, we have the tool to stop the
clock sooner than the competition. Wind tunnel developed and tested against all the major competition, our Xenith T series
posted some of the lowest drag figures at the San Diego wind tunnel, so low in fact, they thought there was something
amiss with their equipment. Get one and you’ll see, you, too, can turn back the clock.

Why BB30?.It’s lighter! By eliminating the BB cups and using a
larger diameter alloy spindle, crank and BB weight
can be reduced by up to 12%. It’s narrower! With the
bearings inside the BB shell, crank width is reduced,
increasing ankle clearance. It’s stiffer! Increasing spindle
diameter increases crankset stiffness. It’s more durable!
BB30 bearings are larger than conventional or external
BB bearings, yielding longer bearing life.
Wind Tunnel Testing.We’re a frequent visitor to the San Diego Low Speed
Wind Tunnel test facility. Whether testing out new ideas,
fact finding on potential new shapes and designs or
verifying that production models test as slippery as our
prototypes.
Windshield Fork.Our Windshield fork shrouds the front brake inside
the front fork reducing drag by as much as 10%. This
equates to a 7 watt power advantage, which over
the course of a one hour time trial at a functional
threshold of 300 watts on a flat road with no wind is
the equivalent of 32 seconds saved.
Internally Routed Cables.All Xenith T-series cables are routed internally to
minimize drag. We’ve made sure they are also easily
replaceable and serviceable, too.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Our Xenith T2 features full high modulus carbon fiber construction using NACA guidelines
for aero profiles. It’s San Diego Low-Speed Wind Tunnel tested and validated, with the rear
brake tucked under the chain stay for a cleaner air flow; internal cables for smooth, clean
aero lines: a seat tube shroud to shield the rear wheel from the wind; and an aero-clean
seat post/seat tube juncture with aero seat stays.
All our T-series frames feature a BB30 drivetrain for lighter and smoother spinning cranks.
It’s more aerodynamic too, than outboard bearing systems since the bearings are inside
the BB shell.
Our revolutionary full carbon monocoque WindShield fork encloses the front brake within
the fork blades for superior aerodynamics, with easy-access brake ports to simplify brake
maintenance.
The Xenith T-series carbon seatpost features an aero profile and micro-adjustability for fine
tuning seat angle.
Zipp’s 808 clincher wheelset (404 650c’s on the XS) features 81mm deep carbon clincher
rims with aerodynamic dimples, Sapim CX-ray aero spokes (16F/20R) & Zipp 88/188 hubs:
all for blazing fast speed.
Vittoria’s Open Corsa EVO KS open clincher tires roll exceptionally fast thanks to their low
rolling resistance design.
Vision’s TriMax crankset features hollow carbon aero crank arms with a solid aero TT
chainring and a recess on the back of the crank to shroud the crankset bearings for cleaner
air flow.
Profile’s Volna carbon aero bar and extensions are not only absolutely aero, they’re fully
adjustable allowing you to dial in your most aero and comfortable riding position.
SRAM’s RED group is the new standard in performance and light weight on the road, and
their Exact Actuation 1:1 ratio of cable pull to derailleur movement is perfectly suited for
internally routed cables.
SRAM’s R2C TT shifter is truly revolutionary: after shifting it returns to the most aero
position.
Cobb Cycling is the new kid on the block, but in less than one year their V-Flow Plus saddle
has become the saddle of choice for avid Triathletes.
A full range of sizes including an XS size with 650c 404 wheels.

Stainless Steel Dropout Inserts.Track race strategy includes making gear ratio
changes for nearly every race. To prevent dropout
damage from the constant rear wheel removal and
re-tightening these gear changes require, we surface
our lightweight alloy dropouts with replaceable
stainless steel inserts.
Hydro-formed Seat Tube.The contoured seat tube not only makes the bike
more aero by tucking the rear wheel behind the seat
tube, but improves power transfer by minimizing
rear triangle flex. Having the rear wheel under the
rider also minimizes rear wheel skips during all out
sprints.
Nothing is purer than racing on a velodrome -- one gear, no coasting, smooth banked surface -- it’s the simplest, most
elegant expression of cycling. Our Sonik is supremely stiff and absolutely aero with the perfect geometry to make this the
must-have velodrome bike.
Aero-triangluated Down Tube.We not only formed the down tube to cut through
the wind, but triangulated it at the bottom bracket
for ultimate stiffness.
FSA Carbon Track Crank.FSA Carbon Track crank offers an ISIS-splined BB
spindle/crank interface for superior sprint stiffness
and a 144mm bolt circle so chainring options for
race-day gear changes are maximized.

Carbon Track Fork.With reduced tire clearance and fork rake, this
fork perfectly complements the Sonik’s aggressive
geometry and aerodynamic profile. The short 30mm
offset is well suited for the Sonik’s steep head angle
as well as the steep banks of the velodrome. Carbon
blades and steerer for lightweight performance.
Deda Controls.Deda’s Pista Track handlebar is the benchmark
track bar. Straight-gauge 6061 T6 alloy gives it the
necessary stiffness for any type of track racing, and
that deep 173mm track drop is perfect for digging
deep at the finish line. For their 100 gram Zero stem,
Deda uses a special lubricant during the 2014 alloy
forging process that allows them to make the stem
walls ultra-thin.
Vittoria Diamante Pro Pista Tires.The Pro Pista has less tread and fewer belts than
standard Diamantes, which reduces its weight to a
scant 150 grams,. Vittoria’s famous 220 tpi thread
count makes this a very tough yet supple nylon
casing, with Twin Tread technology offering a hard
wearing center for fast rolling and soft sides for
safe cornering.
American Classic 420 Track Wheels.The 420 wheelset features the lightest deep-section
aluminum clinchers in the world. Combining these
rims with AC’s new track hubs and bladed spokes
make the Track 420’s the perfect wheel choice for
track racing.

NOTES:
92
Ro
ad
Versatile Design.We designed every Nova to be raced, but we don’t
see these bikes as being limited to the race course.
These are tremendously versatile machines, just as
competent touring or commuting as they are racing,
so we’ve thoughtfully included dropout eyelets for
easy installation of fenders or a rear carrier.
SRAM Does Cross Right.SRAM’s 1:1 cable-pull ratio is perfectly suited for the
mud and crude of cyclocross. Because SRAM’s drive-
train design out of the box is less friction sensitive
than other shifting systems, it makes perfect sense
to spec a Rival drivetrain on a bike that is going to
suffer cable and housing contamination on race day.
Mud-Specific Cable Routing.Cyclocross racing is usually muddy, which wreaks
havoc with front and rear shifting. We’ve moved both
derailleur cables to the top tube to keep them clear
of the mud, insuring they work in the worst of condi-
tions. Because the front derailleur must be cable-
pulled from underneath, we’ve added a cable roller
to the bottom of the seat tube to re-direct the front
derailleur cable properly.
It’s All in the Details.Adding a cable stop for the rear cantilever brake is
often a design challenge. On smaller frames there is
not enough room for a welded-on stop and adding
a stop that bolts on to the seat clamp is usually a
messy affair. Check out our solution: we’ve integrat-
ed the seat clamp and the cable stop (with adjustor!)
into one light, clean CNC’d alloy unit.
Cyclocross is a cross of Criterium racing and Cross Country MTB racing. It’s a test of the rider’s aerobic endurance and bike
handling skills. With our rich history of Cyclocross, we know and understand what it takes to build world class racing ma-
chines. We mix this with some real world usability to make our bikes world cup winners and the most versatile road bike you
can own.

Light and Strong.Supernova features super-lite and strong Kinesium
tubing, a space age alloy that is 30% stronger than
conventional 6061 or 7005. Nova Pro and Nova
Race offer lightweight double-butted 7005 alumi-
num. Supernova and Nova Pro also feature carbon
seat stays to increase lateral stiffness and optimize
shock damping.
Hydro-formed Portage Flat.National Champion Jesse Anthony helped us to per-
fectly position and angle the portage flat under the
top tube. His input resulted in a fully hydro-formed
top tube that makes portaging as comfortable as
portaging could possibly get.
Jamis ‘Cross Fork.By enlarging the bottom bearing of the head
tube from 1 1/8” to 1 1 /2”, not only are head tube
stiffness and steering precision increased, but we
have sufficient room in the crown to produce a truly
hollow fork from the dropout, up through the crown
and steer tube, which yields exceptional compaction
quality for increased strength and reduced weight.
We’ve smartly integrated a CNC’ed alloy cable
hanger into the fork crown, reducing exposed front
brake cable length from hanger to straddle cable,
effectively eliminating the brake “shudder” often
common on cantilever-equipped carbon forks.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Supernova features a World Cup level frame featuring Kinesium tubing (15-30% stronger
than conventional aluminum materials) and aggressive butting for reduced weight with
a hydroformed top tube to add comfort when portaging over barriers. The top mounted
cable guides keep cables clear from mud for reliable shifting & braking performance, and
carbon fiber seat stays provide comfort so you have some pop left in your legs for the finish.
There’s a replaceable hanger when you bite it and there’s eyelets on the dropoutjusts too
when you want to tool around, all in a classic ‘cross geo that gives you every advantage
from start to finish.
Jamis all new full carbon cross fork features a tapered steerer tube for increased stiffness
and strength and in tandem with an integrated fork crown cable stop completely elimnates
the front brake shudder that’s all too common on cantilever-equipped carbon cross forks.
Designing the fork to incorporate a 1.5” crown race allowed us to produce a full-hollow
fork, from steerer tube through crown and down to the dropouts: it’s not just lighter,
it’s stronger!
Ritchey’s WCS Zeta sub-1500 gram wheelset features a Vanadium alloy rim that is
exceptionally strong, super lightweight and thanks to the 24mm rim profile delivers
increased vertical compliance. The “dogbone” spoke hole drillings optimize spoke angle
for greater torsional strength.
FSA’s BB30 Gossamer compact cross crank is spec’ed with 46/36 all-conditions gearing to
keep you on the bike instead of running and thanks to the benefits of the BB30 system is
over 100g lighter than it’s MegaExo counterpart.
Kore Race+ brakes are fully adjustable and offer an exceptionally wide profile for the type
of mud clearance crossers demand.
SRAM’s Rival Group with Zero Loss and Exact Actuation shifting won’t be affected by the
mud and other elements that get tossed their way.
Vittoria Cross XG tires are no stranger to the podium, and with their predictable handling &
grip, you won’t be either.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Nova Race frame features lightweight double-butted 7005 tubing with a ‘Cross specific
formed top tube for comfort during portaging, top mounted cables to keep cables clear
from mud for reliable shifting & braking performance, a competition proven geomtery, a
replaceable derailleur hanger, and frame eyetlets when you need to pick up a 6-pack.
Jamis all new full carbon cross fork features a tapered steerer tube for increased stiffness
and strength and in tandem with an integrated fork crown cable stop completely elimnates
the front brake shudder that’s all too common on cantilever-equipped carbon cross forks.
Designing the fork to incorporate a 1.5” crown race allowed us to produce a full-hollow
fork, from steerer tube through crown and down to the dropouts: it’s not just lighter,
it’s stronger!
The durable Alex ID-19 double-wall rims, Formula hubs and stainless spokes, this is one
wheelset that offers durablility and precision.
FSA’s Vero compact cross crank offers 46/36 chainring, providing all-conditions gearing to
keep you on the bike instead of running.
Tektro’s Oryx canti’s assure positive stopping power with plenty of mud clearance.
Shimano’s Tiagra/Sora 18-speed drivetrain assures light, precise shifting all the time,
every time.
Vittoria XN tires are great all around tires for a variety of riding conditions.
Selle San Marco’s Ischia Arrowhead saddle rides comfortably & efficiently
with classic Italian styling.
Ritchey’s Comp Road cockpit, with 4-Axis stem and Logic II handlebars, delivers comfort,
light weight and dependability right where you want it most: in your hands.

2011 Xenith Endura Series

Long Reach Brake Calipers.Brake calipers typically specified on road bikes have
a reach range of 39 - 49mm. This is fine if riders are
willing to accept limiting their tire size choices to
23 or 25c widths. But we think the Endura rider will
appreciate having long reach calipers (47 - 57mm
range) spec’ed instead, allowing for the installation
of tire widths up to 32c.
Seat Post Clamping.Securely clamping the seat post with traditional
single bolt seat clamps and a single slot cut in the
back of the seat tube can put a lot of stress on a
carbon frame, potentially resulting in frame failure.
That’s why we cut slots both fore and aft in the top of
the seat tube, and have designed our own opposing
2-bolt clamp. Clamping force is now evenly spread
around the entire seat mast.
One-Piece Forged Dropouts.The Endura dropouts are a solid, 1-piece forged
design, as opposed to the standard 2- piece/
bolt together type, reducing flex while enhancing
structural integrity and frame longevity.
Asymmetrical Chainstays.Chainstay design is critical for the efficient transfer
of power from pedal to wheel. But simply beefing
up the entire area to prevent frame flex under
pedaling torque can yield unnecessary weight
gain and stiffness. The Endura chainstay design
maximizes stiffness while minimizing weight
through asymmetrical design - the driveside
chainstay is 10% larger and 30% stiffer to offset
drivetrain induced flex.
Borrowing heavily from our award winning Xenith Competition design, the Endura strikes a balance between performance,
comfort and compliance. Every Endura model features all the performance and design attributes of our racing bikes with
slightly taller head tubes, longer wheelbases and relaxed frame angles. Fast and long rides can now be enjoyed, not just
endured. Introducing the new Endura Series from Jamis: where “plush” meets “high performance”.

Why BB30?.It’s lighter! By eliminating the BB cups and using a
larger diameter alloy spindle, crank and BB weight
can be reduced by up to 12%. It’s narrower! With the
bearings inside the BB shell, crank width is reduced,
increasing ankle clearance. It’s stiffer! Increasing
spindle diameter increases crankset stiffness.
It’s more durable! BB30 bearings are larger than
conventional or external BB bearings, yielding longer
bearing life.
Tapered Head Tube and Steerer.By enlarging the bottom bearing of the head tube
from 1 1 /8” to 1 1 /2”, not only are head tube
stiffness and steering precision increased, but we
have sufficient room in the crown to produce a truly
hollow fork from the dropout, up through the crown
and steerer tube. It’s significantly stronger and
stiffer for precise steering while still providing the
perfect amount of vertical compliance for comfort.
SST for the Right Ride.Using our 54 and 56cm frames as the SST (size-
specific-tubing) “norm”, we construct our 44, 48 and
51cm frames with 10% smaller outer diameter top
and down tubes, while using 10% larger top & down
tubes for the 58 and 61cm frames. The result is a
more consistent ride quality across all frame sizes.
Tri-Oval Tubing Profiles.The top and down tubes of the Endura frame are
tri-ovalized for optimal stiffness in the lightest pos-
sible package. This tubing design orients the axis of
each of the ovals to increase lateral stiffness while
optimizing vertical compliance.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Utilizing the same manufacturing techiniques & materials as our Xenith Competition
series, the Xenith Endura features a slightly longer wheelbase for stability, tuned rear stays
for more vertical compliance, longer headtubes for increased handlebar height, a slightly
lower BB for a lower center of gravity and increased stability, and a slacker HT angle for
increased steering stability.
The Endura still retains many of the key design features that won awards and races for
our Xenith Competition series: a 1 1/8-1.5” head tube/fork steerer, BB30 bottom bracket
system, Tri-Oval top and down tubes, asymmetrical chainstays, SST differential tubing
diameters, one-piece forged dropouts, dual seat tube slots for secure post clamping, a
clamp on front derailleur for more adjustability and clamp-load spreadingg on the seat
tube, and small diameter twin seat stays for optimal vertical compliance.
The Xenith Endura series is designed with flexibility in mind, like long-reach brakes for
greater tire selection and room for fenders, and rear eyelets for rear carrier mounting.
Our Dyad lay-up process and small diameter seat stays deliver a silky smooth ride with
greater vertical compliance without sacrificing frame stiffness thanks to the “muscle”
shaped asymmetrical chainstays with the driveside 10% larger than the non-driveside,
yielding 30% more volume & stiffness to offset drivetrain torque.
Our taller head tubes yield a slightly higher handlebar height for those riders that want a
high performance ride but prefer to ride with a more upright riding posture.
American Classic’s Victory 30 wheelset weighs in at a scant 1592g. Featuring American
Classic featherweight hubs, AC spokes, and 30mm deep section aero rims.
FSA’s SLK Light hollow carbon crank is light and stiff thanks to the BB30 over-sized
spindle and offers a lighter, lower-geared compact 50/34 chainring set that enhances
hill-climbing capability.
Shimano’s new 6700 Ultegra drivetrain assures light, precise shifting over all 20 speeds,
with the 11/28T cassette providing lower gears for climbing the steepest grades.
Shimano BR-650 long-reach brakes offer plenty of clearance for a greater choice of tires
and fenders.
Vittoria Rubino Pro 25c tires have slightly more volume than 23c racing tires for increased
comfort and control.
Ritchey’s BioMax bars feature 6-degree swept-back tops, 3 degree flare, Ergo bump and
super shallow (130mm) drop for a more comfortable riding position.
Selle San Marco’s Ponza Power Arrowhead saddle offers slightly more padding and a

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Utilizing the same manufacturing techiniques & materials as our Xenith Competition
series, the Xenith Endura features a slightly longer wheelbase for stability, tuned rear stays
for more vertical compliance, longer headtubes for increased handlebar height, a slightly
lower BB for lower center of gravity and increased stability, and a slacker HT angle for
increased steering stability.
The Xenith Endura still retains many of the key design features that won awards and races
for our Xenith Competition series: a 1 1/8-1.5” head tube/fork steerer, BB30 bottom bracket
system, Tri-Oval top and down tubes, assymetrical chainstays, SST differential tubing
diameters, one-piece forged dropouts, dual seat tube slots for secure post clamping, a
clamp on front derailleur for more adjustability and clamp-load spreadingg on the seat
tube, and small diameter twin seat stays for optimal vertical compliance.
The Xenith Endura series is designed with flexibility in mind, like long-reach brakes for
greater tire selection and room for fenders, and rear eyelets for rear carrier mounting.
Our Dyad lay-up process and small diameter seat stays deliver a silky smooth ride with
greater vertical compliance without sacrificing frame stiffness thanks to the “muscle”
shaped asymmetrical chainstays with the driveside 10% larger than the non-driveside,
yielding 30% more volume & stiffness to offset drivetrain torque.
Our taller head tubes yield a slightly higher handlebar height for those riders that want a
high performance ride but prefer to ride with a more upright riding posture.
Alex DC-19 double wall rims mated with Formula smooth spinning hubs and stainless
spokes, meticulously built, make a great all-around wheelset
Shimano’s Tiagra/105 smooth shifting drivetrain assures light, precise 18 or 27-speed
shifting across the wide range 11/28 cassette.
FSA’s compact chainring concept is revolutionary: a 34T inner chainring offers a 15%
lower gear ratio than traditional 39T double ringe’d road cranks, but the 50T outer loses
only 6% off the top end compared to the 53T traditional outer. You get the hill climbing
capability of a triple, yet less weight than a standard double.
The FSA Vero forged crank is also available in a triple 53/39/30T version and when
coupled with a 11/28T cassette helps to level even the steepest grades.
Tektro’s cold forged long reach brakes allow for a greater choice of tires and with plenty of
room for fenders.
Vittoria Zaffiro 25c tires have slightly more volume than 23c racing tires for increased
comfort and control.
Selle San Marco’s Ponza Power saddle offers slightly more padding
for long distance comfort.

NOTES:

2011 Ventura Series
Ro
ad
A Winning Bike for Everyone.Our Ventura Series bikes have won Bicycling’s
coveted Editor’s Choice award numerous times.
Which is why we offer the Race, Comp and Sport
in both male and female specific packages.
Compact Crankset.FSA’s compact crankset concept is
revolutionary: a 34T inner chainring offers
a 15% lower gear ratio than traditional 39T
double ringed road cranks, but the 50T outer
loses only 6% off the top end compared to a
53T traditional outer. You get the hill climbing
capability of a triple, yet less weight than a
standard double.
Our Ventura bikes borrow heavily from the race-proven geometry of our Xeniths to help keep you in front on the local
Saturday ride. But we’ve softened the edges of that geo just a bit for a more comfortable and confident ride so you can head
out again on Sunday, still fresh and ready to hammer your buddies again
Carbon Fiber Monostay.Adding a carbon fiber monostay to the Race
enhances ride quality by damping road vibrations
and optimizes lateral and torsional stiffness for out-
of-the-saddle sprinting.
Ritchey Components.We’ve been specifying Ritchey parts on our bikes
since 1986. Not just because Tom Ritchey’s designs
are innovative and light, but because we know
we can count on them to hold up. Ritchey testing
standards are tough. Parts must pass a fatigue cycle
testing standard that is at least 2x the European
CEN standard. The same stringent standards ap-
ply to impact testing as well. Once products have
cleared machine testing, prototype samples endure
rigorous use by both amateur and professional riders
alike around the world. By the time we put these
parts on our bikes, they have passed a global testing
and approval process second to none.
107

Full Carbon Monocoque Forks.Manufactured by the same team that produces
our Xenith SL and T2 frames, the carbon forks on
our Ventura Race and Comp are formed as true
monocoque forks, in one continuous unit (steerer/
crown/blades) for optimal strength and performance.
Our competitors often use heavier 3-piece bonded
carbon/alloy forks in this price range.
SST for the Right Ride.Using our 54 and 56cm frames as the SST (size-
specific-tubing) “norm”, we construct our 44, 48 and
51cm frames with 10% smaller outer diameter top
and down tubes, while using 10% larger top & down
tubes for the 58 and 61cm frames. The result is a
more consistent ride quality across all frame sizes.
Versatile Performance Geometry.For a greater range of handlebar and rider positions, we’ve
fitted the Ventura series frames with taller head tubes.
Coupled with a slightly longer wheelbase and relaxed head
tube angle, this results in confident, steering/handling
and a more comfortable position for longer rides whether
competitive or recreational.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The Ventura Comp frame features Size Specific Tubing (SST): smaller frames are
constructed with smaller diameter tubing to retain resiliency and ride quality, while larger
frames are constructed using larger diameter tubing to retain stiffness for larger riders.
The top and down tubes are all new for 2011 and are optimized for increased performance
and stiffness.
This frame is a competition inspired sloping top tube design featuring 7005 double-butted
tubing, an integrated head tube for aerodynamic efficiency & ride-tuned rear stays with a
replaceable rear derailleur hanger.
The Ventura Comp’s fork features straight, aero-shaped blades and FULL carbon
composite construction, including steerer and crown, for reduced weight
& aerodynamic drag.
Low spoke count wheels featuring Mavic rims offer less aerodynamic drag than higher
spoke count wheels and are lighter, reducing rotational weight for higher performance at
lower energy output.
FSA’s compact crankset concept is revolutionary: a 34T inner chainring offers a 15% lower
gear ratio than the traditional 39T double ringed road cranks, but the 50T outer loses
only 6% off the top end compared to the 53T traditional outer. You get the hill climbing
capability of a triple, yet less weight than a standard double.
A sealed cartridge bottom bracket improves performance and reduces maintenance.
Tektro’s dual pivot brakes offer safe, secure braking and high quality
forged alloy construction.
Shimano’s Tiagra/Sora 18-speed drivetrain assures light, precise shifting throughout
the entire gear range.
Vittoria’s Zaffiro 23c tires offer legendary, road-holding capability and superior ride quality.
Selle San Marco’s Ischia Arrowhead saddle rides comfortably, thanks to the pressure relief
cut-out in the shell.
Ritchey’s Logic over-sized 31.8 handlebar & stem combination delivers comfort,
light weight and reliability at a critical rider contact point.

Steel Specific Geometry.For a greater range of handlebar and rider positions,
we’ve fitted the Quest and Satellite series frames
with taller head tubes. Coupled with a slightly
longer wheelbase and relaxed head tube angle than
on the Eclipse, the result is more confident steering
& handling and a more comfortable position for
longer rides whether competitive or recreational.
Classic Lost Wax Casting.Lost wax casting (aka investment casting) is an
expensive process used mainly for the complicated
shapes of high quality lugs and fork crowns. The
dropouts of the Eclipse and Quest are lost wax
molded, as are the classically shaped seat collars
of all our steel road bikes.
American Classic 420 Wheels.The American Classic 420 wheelset featured on the
Eclipse are the best do-it-all wheels on the market:
strong enough for racing or training. Responsive
and smooth with a lightweight, 34mm deep
aerodynamic profile, the 420 offers the lightest
deep section aluminum clincher rim in the world.
The legendary ride of steel: that’s what these bikes are all about. There is an allure to steel that transcends its traditional
artisan appeal. And that’s its ride quality. “Stiff but buttery smooth” is the phrase most often used to express that quality. It’s
the benchmark against which all other frame materials are measured.
2011 Steel Performance Series

Air-Hardened Steel.Taking advantage of the high tensile strength of steel
without having to worry about strength degradation due
to welding is incredibly liberating. Welding steel often
results in a 40% strength loss, requiring thick tubing
walls as an offset. Not so with the air-hardened Reynolds
853 and 631 steel alloys used on our Eclipse and Quest
frames. This material actually gets stronger at the weld
zones, allowing Reynolds to draw the tubing thinner for a
lighter, stronger frame.
Reinforced Head Tube.Reinforcing rings are brazed on the head tube
to prevent the headset and fork movement from
deforming the thin walled chrome-moly head tube.
SST Means “Custom”.Using our 54 and 56cm frames as the SST (size-
specific-tubing) “norm”, we construct our 48 and
51cm frames with 10% smaller outer diameter top
and down tubes, while using 10% larger top & down
tubes for the 58 and 61cm frames. The result is a
more consistent ride quality across all frame sizes.
Full Carbon Monocoque Forks.Manufactured by the same team that produces
our Xenith SL and T2 frames, the carbon forks
on our Eclipse, Quest and Satellite models
are formed as true monocoque forks, in one
continuous unit (steerer/crown/blades) for
optimal strength and performance.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The Eclipse frame features Size Specific Tubing (SST): smaller frames are constructed
with smaller diameter tubing to retain resiliency and ride quality, while larger frames are
constructed using larger diameter tubing to retain stiffness for larger riders.
Legendary Reynolds 853 air-hardened chromoly receives an additional heat-treatment
process that 631 does not, strengthening the steel, allowing Reynolds to draw the
tubing walls thinner than an on 631 frames, yielding an even lighter, stiffer frame with
outstanding resiliency and “feel”. Heat-treated chromoly rear stays and Ritchey investment
cast dropouts increase torsional stiffness by 30%.
The Jamis full carbon composite road fork is light, stiff & strong and in tandem with the
853 frames, offers an exceptionally smooth ride.
American Classic 420 Aero 3 wheelset takes performance to a new level: 34mm deep
section aero rims weighing only 420 grams (the lightest deep section rim in the world),
bladed spokes and AC’s superlight hubs and a unique spoke pattern on the rear wheel that
equalizes spoke tension.
FSA’s compact crankset concept is revolutionary: a 34T inner chainring offers a 15% lower
gear ratio than the traditional 39T double ringed road cranks, but the 50T outer loses
only 6% off the top end compared to the 53T traditional outer. You get the hill climbing
capability of a triple, yet less weight than a standard double.
FSA’s SLK Lite carbon crankset features hollow carbon formed crank arms, yielding a
compact crankset with the incredible weight of 710g!
Shimano’s new Ultegra BR-6700 brakes feature an industry-best pad compound for
improved modulation and secure wet/dry stopping performance.
Shimano Ultegra components assure light, precise shifting over all 20-speeds.
Ritchey’s extraordinarily light WCS bars and post are sealed in a rich “Wet Black”
gloss finish that beautifully offsets the glossy “Wet White” finish of the Pro 4-Axis stem.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The Quest frame features Size Specific Tubing (SST): smaller frames are constructed
with smaller diameter tubing to retain resiliency and ride quality, while larger frames are
constructed using larger diameter tubing to retain stiffness for larger riders.
Reynolds 631 air-hardened chromoly actually gains strength in the weld zone area, instead
of losing it like all other welded material, allowing Reynolds to draw this tubing thinner,
for a lighter, stiffer frame with outstanding “feel”. Heat-treated chromoly rear stays and
investment cast dropouts increase torsional stiffness by 30%.
Our full carbon fiber composite unicrown fork is significantly lighter than most 3-piece
carbon forks (made with heavier chromoly or alloy steerers and alloy crowns)
found at this level.
Mavic Aksium Race wheelset features top Mavic technologies at entry level price point.
Straight pull aero spokes, lightweight welded rims, cartridge bearing hubs, all at a sub
1800g package.
FSA’s compact crankset concept is revolutionary: a 34T inner chainring offers a 15% lower
gear ratio than the traditional 39T double ringed road cranks, but the 50T outer loses only
6% off the top end compared to the 53T traditional outer.
If a greater gear range is desired, the Quest is also available with a Gossamer triple
53/39/30T version. When coupled with a Shimano 12/27T even the steepest grades
are manageable.
FSA’s MegaExo integrated BB eliminates bottom bracket flex with oversized external
bearings providing additional stiffness and strength.
Shimano’s R450 long reach brakes feature industry-leading pad compound for improved
modulation and secure all-conditions stopping performance and offer enough clearance
for wider tires (up to 32mm) and fenders.
The Shimano Ultegra/105 drivetrain assures light, precise shifting
over all 20 (or 30!) speeds.
Ritchey’s Comp BioMax II handlebar features a shorter reach & shallower drop than other
road bars. With Ritchey’s unique flared back flats, these “Bio” fittings make for a supremely
comfortable handlebar.
Vittoria’s Zaffiro Pro 25c tires hold just enough air volume to make for a comfortable
& stable ride, yet are narrow enough to roll nearly as fast as 23c racing tires.
NVO Components’ adjustable-height stem system (ATS) is much lighter than angle
adjustable stems and adjusts more easily and quickly, too.

The Satellite frame features Size Specific Tubing (SST): smaller frames are constructed
with smaller diameter tubing to retain resiliency and ride quality, while larger frames are
constructed using larger diameter tubing to retain stiffness for larger riders.
The Reynolds 520 double-butted chromoly frame rides smoother & more comfortably
than comparably priced aluminum framed bikes thanks to the natural shock damping
properties of steel.
Satellite’s frame geometry features a sloping top tube design, which is lighter than the
“flat” top tube frame design that traditionally adorns steel road bikes, but still retains the
handling & comfort characteristics our steel frames are famous for.
Our full carbon fiber composite unicrown fork is significantly lighter than most 3-piece

Ritchey’s BioMax handlebar features a shorter reach & shallower drop than other road

The 28 and 32 spoke front and rear wheels assure a reliable and durable ride for riders
of all sizes. They ride smoothly too. Thanks to their higher spoke count, these wheels do
not require super-high tensioning to keep the wheel in true, yielding a more supple,
less harsh feel.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The Satellite Sport frame features Size Specific Tubing (SST): smaller frames are
constructed with smaller diameter tubing to retain resiliency and ride quality, while larger
frames are constructed using larger diameter tubing to retain stiffness for larger riders.
The 4130 double-butted chromoly frame rides smoother & more comfortably than
comparably priced aluminum framed bikes thanks to the natural shock damping
properties of steel.
Satellite Sport’s frame geometry features a sloping top tube design, which is lighter than
the “flat” top tube frame design that traditionally adorns steel road bikes, but still retains
the handling & comfort characteristics our steel frames are famous for.
Our Femme version offers women’s specific frame sizing & geometry and component
selection, including anatomically adjusted top tube lengths & women’s specific saddles,
with handlebar, stem and crank lengths all dimensioned to optimally fit women for greater
comfort & efficiency.
The smooth riding full chromoly fork features a lugged crown for classic good looks, with
eyeletted dropouts for fender mounting.
Our Jamis anatomic handlebar offers comfort in all riding positions; our 3D forged alloy
stem is light and delivers secure steering control.
The 28 and 32 spoke front and rear wheels assure a reliable and durable ride for riders
of all sizes. They ride smoothly too. Thanks to their higher spoke count, these wheels do
not require super-high tensioning to keep the wheel in true, yielding a more supple,
less harsh feel.
FSA’s Tempo triple crank offers the rider a wider, more comfortable gear range than
standard-sized or compact-sized double chainring’ed cranksets.
Tektro long reach brakes feature secure all-conditions stopping performance and offer
enough clearance for wider tires (up to 32mm) and fenders.
Shimano’s Sora/2300 drivetrain assures light, precise shifting throughout the entire
27-speed gear range.
The Vittoria Zaffiro 25c tires hold just enough air volume to make for a comfortable &
stable ride, yet are narrow enough to roll nearly as fast as 23c racing tires.

Perfect Touring Geo.The Auroras offer a generous wheelbase for stable
riding under load and longer chainstays for plenty of
heel /pannier clearance.
Stay High and Dry.Svelte Blade Runner lightweight aluminum fenders
are featured on both the Aurora Elite & Aurora.
Stopping Power.A powerful braking system is a must for fully loaded
touring. The Aurora Elite and Bosanova deliver with
Avid disc brakes, which work powerfully rain or shine.
The Aurora offers reliable Tektro cantilevers and
an additional set of brake levers on the flats of the
handlebars.
Tires.Vittoria Randonneur tires are unbeatable in weight
and performance. Featuring Aquaflow tread pattern
for secure riding in conditions wet or dry and Double
Shielding puncture protection for long tube and tire
life. We’ve also specified sidewall reflective stripes
for optimal visibility.
If travelling the open road for the pleasure of the journey rather than the need to race, these are the perfect bikes to carry
you and your load. Built with sweet riding Reynolds chromoly steel with long stable geometry and heel/pannier clearance,
these bikes make a long tour or a commute to work something to look forward to.

Load ‘er Up.Full complement of braze-on’s: Fenders? Check,
Rear Carrier? Check, Lowriders? Yup.... the Aurora
has it all covered.
SST Means “Custom”.Our SST (size-specific tubing) engineering protocol
employs smaller-diameter frame sections for smaller
frames and larger ones for bigger frames, for more
consistent ride quality across all frame sizes.
Classic Lost Wax Casting.Lost wax casting (aka investment casting) is an
expensive process used mainly for the complicated
shapes of high quality lugs and fork crowns. Like
what you’ll find on the fork crowns of both Auroras
and the dropouts on the Elite.
NVO for Comfort and Fit.NVO Components clever stem system allow you to
quickly and easily adjust your stem height. Feeling a
little tight in the back after the first few days of your
long-disctance tour? Pull that stem height up for
some relief. Then drop it back down when that back
loosens up.
Real Reynolds Steel.Reynolds pioneered the techniques of making
butted tubing around the turn of the century, and
their 531 manganese-molybdenum alloy tubing was
the standard of excellence for many decades. The
Elite features a new generation of Reynolds steel:
631 seamless, air-hardened/cold-worked chrome-

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The Aurora Elite frame features Size Specific Tubing (SST): smaller frames are constructed
with smaller diameter tubing to retain resiliency and ride quality, while larger frames are
constructed using larger diameter tubing to retain stiffness for larger riders.
Reynolds 631 air-hardened chromoly actually gains strength in the weld zone area, instead
of losing it like all other welded material, allowing Reynolds to draw this tubing thinner,
for a lighter, stiffer frame with outstanding “feel”. Heat-treated chromoly rear stays and
investment cast dropouts increase torsional stiffness by 30%.
Our new lugged, full cro-moly unicrown touring fork (with lightweight butted blades) offers
classic looks and steel’s legendary feel & durability with a full compliment of braze-ons for
fenders and racks.
Mavic’s durable A119 double-walled rims laced with strong DT Champion stainless spokes
in a 32 hole 3-cross pattern to always-dependable Formula Disc specific road hubs assure
smooth rolling under load day after day.
SRAM’s new Apex group is the first road drivetrain to offer a super-wide range 11/32T
10-speed cassette. The Apex WiFLi drivetrain (Wider-Faster-Lighter!) paired with a
compact crankset actually offers a wider gear range than a standard triple and is 247
grams lighter than a 105 triple.
FSA’s MegaExo external bearing bottom bracket overcomes the shortcomings of the
original Octalink & ISIS splined designs by exporting the bearings outside the BB shell.
Avid’s BB7 disc brakes offer powerful stopping with light action at the lever. Their
proprietary Caliper Positioning System aligns pads with rotors easily & perfectly all the
time, every time.
Vittoria’s Randonneur Pro 32mm tires offer more air volume to support the additional
weight of loaded touring while delivering optimal road-holding capability & ride quality.
These tires also feature a “double-shield” protective barrier in the tire casing that helps to
prevent puncture flats.
Our Jamis Touring saddle offers a synthetic, distressed-leather like cover with just enough
nap to provide a grip on top, yet still offer a slick side surface to pedal against smoothly.
NVO Components ATS adjustable-height stem system is much lighter than angle
adjustable stems and adjusts handlebar height more easily & quickly too.
Ritchey’s BioMax handlebar features a shorter reach & shallower drop than other road
bars. With Ritchey’s unique flared back flats, these “Bio” fittings make for a supremely
comfortable handlebar
Our disc brake compatible rear carrier features tubular hollow alloy tubing for strength,
stiffness and reduced weight.
BladeRunner flat alloy fenders are light & stylish and protect both rider and bike from rain
water sloughing off spinning wheels.

The Aurora’s frame geometry is specifically designed for long-mileage touring, with longer
chainstays for greater heel/pannier clearance and shallower frame angles for a more
comfortable all-day-in-the-saddle ride and more stable handling under load.
Our lugged, full chromoly unicrown touring fork offers classic looks and steel’s legendary
feel & durability with a full compliment of braze-ons for low riders, fenders and racks.
The Aurora’s wheelset is stoutly built with 36 spokes, laced in a 3-cross pattern in both
wheels to durable Alex eyeletted, double-wall rims and reliable Shimano Tiagra hubs.
Aurora’s 27-speed STI shifting 105/Tiagra drivetrain features a long-cage rear derailleur
that enables Jamis to offer a wide range 11-28T cassette block.
FSA’s forged Vero triple-ringed crankset in tandem with the 11-28 cassette offers a large
range of gear ratios for comfortable & secure riding both up & down.
The splined PowerDrive interface between crank and bottom bracket ensures a greater
contact area between crank & BB axle delivering a stiffer interface, delivering more power
per pedal stroke.

NOTES:
130
Ride Fixed or Free.Whether you prefer to ride fixed or free, we’ve got
you covered with a Flip-Flop rear hub and both fixed
and freewheel cogs already installed.
FSA F. Gimondi Track Crankset.For 2011, FSA is introducing a retro square-taper
track crank with 1973 world road champion Felice
Gimondi’s signature. Gimondi also won the Tour, the
Vuelta, the Giro (three times) and Paris-Roubaix, all
on similarly styled Campagnolo double cranks. The
F. Gimondi is perfectly styled for the Sputnik.
Fast, Durable Rubber.A stronger casing combined with bead wire made
from 4 twisted steel wires (for better flexibility)
make Vittoria’s tires ideal for training and urban
riding. They feature Dot C.O.M. Vector tread design,
engineered for the lowest possible rolling resistance
near the center of the tire with maximum grip when
leaning.
Secure Stops.Because both Sputnik and Beatnik offer flip-flop
hubs with fixed or freewheel gearing, we include
front and rear brakes in our specification. The
calipers are a “long-reach” type allowing for greater
tire width choices and fender installation. Classic
stainless steel clips secure the brake housing to the
frame.
This is stripped-down, go fast gear for the urban jungle. Steel frames to soak up anything the city has to throw at you.
Brakes and flip-flop hub just in case. Everything you need to survive on pedals on the street. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Classic Lost Wax Casting.Lost wax casting (aka investment casting) is an
expensive process used mainly for the complicated
shapes of high quality lugs and fork crowns. Like
what you’ll find on the fork crown of the Sputnik.
SST Means “Custom”.Our SST (size-specific tubing) engineering protocol
employs smaller-diameter frame sections for smaller
frames and larger ones for bigger frames, for more
consistent ride quality across all frame sizes.
Real Steel.Whether it’s the Reynolds 520 double-butted
chromoly steel used on Sputnik or the hi-tensile
steel tubing used on Beatnik, there is simply no
better material better suited for the rigors of urban
riding than steel. Unlike aluminum, steel naturally
damps or absorbs the shocks and vibrations of
city streets. Aluminum simply transmits it, like a
tuning fork, which is why aluminum frames are often
criticized for their “harsh” riding qualities. Besides,
on a fixie, where vintage reigns, skinny steel frame
tubes are just right.

Internal Gearing.Internal gear hubs, like the Nexus hubs offered on
Commuter 3 and 4, have many advantages over
externally geared derailleur systems. For one,
shifting is smoother than on external systems.
They are also more reliable and require much less
maintenance because the mechanism is not exposed
to dirt or weather. Instead, the gears are sealed
within the hub and bathed in lubricant. And, unlike
derailleur systems, they can be shifted even when
the bicycle is stopped, a valuable feature for the
commuter who rides in stop-and-go traffic.
Single Chainring DrivetrainsNothing complicates a drivetrain faster than adding
a second or third chainring, a front derailleur and
another shifter. The possibility of a missed shift or a
dropped chain are increased and nothing is less fun
in traffic on the way to work than this. (It’s not so fun
in the Tour de France either. Just ask Andy Schlek).
Which is why we spec a single 42 or 44 tooth
chainring in the front and 7 or 8-speeds in the back
on our Commuters. For commutes to school or the
office, it’s all the gearing you need.
Stay High and Dry.Svelte Blade Runner aluminum fenders are
featured on the Commuter 3 and 4. Lightweight
polycarbonate fenders grace the Commuter 2 & 1.
Ready to Load.We’ve re-designed the carrier for our Commuter 4 to
be lighter, narrower, more minimalistic, and painted
it to match the frame color. An adjustable, elastic
strap is included to safely secure the attaché.
Jamis Metro Saddle.Our Jamis Metro Sport saddle (with matching grips)
offers just the right combination of width, shape and
padding for riding comfortably and efficiently.
People are discovering that commuting by bike is efficient, green and an excellent solution to some of the overcrowding and
traffic issues the urban areas are facing. Our Commuters are designed to minimize maintenance, maximize comfort and
efficiency. Aluminum frames, fenders, internally geared hubs, dynamo driven lights, rear carriers and efficient, comfortable
saddles. Get green and rediscover the pleasure and efficiency of cycling.

For Riding at Night.Shimano’s Dyno hubs can power most 6 volt lights,
require no batteries, are weather protected and have
remarkably low drag, far less than with a tire side-
wall generator when the light is turned on.
KMC’s cool iLight remains lit when stopped at traffic
lights and offers an auto-on feature that operates
only at night.
Smart Tires.Don’t let the name fool you: Vittoria’s Adventure
Touring tires are perfect for daily street use. The
casing is made with a microcarbon compound that’s
highly resistant to cuts and wear. Under the tread is
a thick rubber shield to help prevent puncture flats.
A sidewall reflective strip increases visibility at night.
Stylish Steering.Every Commuter offers a smartly designed ARC alloy
handlebar that sweeps back stylishly for a perfectly
comfortable heads-up riding position.
Think NVO for Fit.NVO Components clever stem system allow you to
easily adjust your stem height. Pull it up on Monday
morning for see-in-traffic commutes, then lower it
for fitness rides on the weekend.

NOTES:
144
Easy Accessorizing.Every Coda offers a full complement of eyelets and
rack mounts to simplify installation of a rear carrier
and fenders.
Rolling Fast.Vittoria Zaffiro 28c tires are just the right size for
zipping through traffic: narrow enough to roll fast,
wide enough to provide a secure contact patch. And
there’s plenty of frame clearance for even wider tires.
Stopping Power.Going elbow-to-door-handle in traffic with cars
requires a reliable brake system. The Coda Elite
delivers with Avid BB-7 disc brakes, which work
powerfully rain or shine. Coda Sport and Coda
offer linear pull brakes which are plenty powerful.
To make sure you’re in complete control even
when grabbing a lot of lever for a surprise stop, we
include power modulators on the front brake. This
modulator absorbs excess lever pressure, assuring
controlled braking performance.
Geared to Go AnywhereThe drivetrains on all our Codas feature long cage
ATB rear derailleurs, full-size triple chainring
cranksets (48/36/26 or 48/38/28) and big 11-32
cassette blocks. This gives you the dual advantage
of having high road bike gearing for controlled
pedaling at speed on descents and low mountain
bike gearing for easier pedaling uphill. It’s a rider-
friendly combination that’s made the Coda series
one of our best selling bikes.
Codas have been one of our most popular categories for years, and for good reason. The smooth riding chrome-moly
frames, the heads-up riding position and versatile component choices, whether it be the wide range gearing or the easy
adjust stems, these bikes are some of the most versatile around.

Wheels Built for the Street.Low spoke count wheels, with radial lacing or 2-cross
lacing, may look all sexy and smart, but wheels built in this
manner require highly tensioned spokes in order to support
the rim and rider. This over-tensioning results in a harsher
riding wheel, which is the antithesis of the Coda raison
d’etre. Every Coda wheel is built with sturdy 20+mm wide
double-wall rims that allow us to specify wider tires with a
larger contact patch for a smoother, more stable ride, and
32 stainless steel spokes laced in a 3-cross pattern that
assures rugged durability.
Buttery Smooth Ride of Steel.We’re famous for our steel bikes and the Codas have
a lot to do with that. No frame material makes more
sense on beat-up city streets than steel. Why? Hit a
baseball with a wooden bat, then with an aluminum
bat and you’ll know why. You want your frame
material to soak up those streets, not beat you with
them. And we use only the best: Reynolds cold-
worked, double-butted chrome-moly steel.
Think NVO for Fit.NVO Components clever stem system allow you to
easily adjust your stem height. Pull it up on Monday
morning for see-in-traffic commutes, then lower it
for fitness rides on the weekend.

Reduced weight with elimination of suspension seatpost
FEATURES/BENEFITS
Our Coda series Reynolds 520 double-butted chromoly frame rides smoother & more
comfortably than comparably priced aluminum framed bikes thanks to the natural shock
damping qualities of steel.
Coda Elite’s carbon fiber fork has been designed specifically to manage and disperse
the brake torque generated by the disc brake at the fork tips.
The 27-speed trigger shifting drivetrain with 48/36/26 FSA AlphaDrive crankset, Shimano
Deore LX SGS/Deore derailleurs and 11-32 Shimano cassette offers a much larger gear
range,with much lower gearing, for easier hill climbing, than standard or compact double
chainring road and street bikes.
Avid’s BB7 disc brakes offer powerful stopping with light action at the lever, and Avid’s
proprietary Caliper Positioning system aligns pads with rotor easily & perfectly.
The Alex/Shimano wheel set is light, but tough, for on or off-road durability, with excellent
load carrying capability & handling.
The spindle of the FSA Power Drive bottom bracket is splined to increase contact area
between crank and spindle for a stiffer interface, but spindle diameter remains comparable
to traditional square taper BB axles so ball bearing size is not reduced (as in many splined
spindle designs) yielding longer bearing life.
Vittoria Zaffiro 28c tires hold just enough air volume to make for a comfortable & stable
ride, yet are narrow enough to roll almost as fast as 23c road bike tires.
Selle San Marco’s Ischia saddle rides comfortably & efficiently, with classy Italian styling.
NVO Components ATS adjustable-height stem system is much lighter than traditional
angle adjustable stems, and offers a much faster and easier method for adjusting
handlebar height for more efficient and comfortable riding.
Our new kraton dual-compound grips are anatomically shaped
for increased comfort and control.

crowns.
NVO Components ATS adjustable-height stem system is much lighter than traditional
angle adjustable stems, and offers a much faster and easier method for adjusting
handlebar height for more efficient and comfortable riding.
Our Jamis alloy flat handlebar bar is significantly lighter than riser bars often found on
street bikes. It looks sleeker & faster, too.
Strong-but-light double wall rims from Alex, Shimano hubs, and 32 stainless steel spokes
per wheel laced in a 3-cross pattern, assure a reliably true & durable wheel.
Vittoria Zaffiro 28c tires hold just enough air volume to make for a comfortable & stable

Our Coda series Reynolds 520 double-butted chromoly frame rides smoother & more
comfortably than comparably priced aluminum framed bikes thanks to the natural shock
damping qualities of steel.
Coda’s tapered unicrown fork with radiused blade steers responsively, looks fast & sleek
and the chromoly blades efficiently soak up road shock & vibrations.
NVO Components ATS adjustable-height stem system is much lighter than traditional
angle adjustable stems, and offers a much faster and easier method for adjusting
handlebar height for more efficient and comfortable riding.
Our Jamis alloy flat handlebar bar is significantly lighter than the “riser” bars often found
on street bikes, while looking stylishly sleek and fast, too.
Vittoria Zaffiro 28c tires hold just enough air volume to make for a comfortable & stable
ride, yet are narrow enough to roll almost as fast as 23c road bike tires.
Strong-but-light double wall rims from Alex, with Shimano hubs and 32 stainless steel
spokes per wheel laced in a 3-cross pattern assure a reliably true & durable wheel.
Shimano’s Acera 24-speed trigger shifting drivetrain with 48/38/28 FSA crankset,
and 11-32 Shimano cassette offers a much larger gear range, with much lower gearing,
for easier hill climbing, than standard or compact double chain ring road bikes.
The sealed cartridge bottom bracket & sealed headset offered on Coda improve
performance and reduce maintenance.
Our Jamis Touring saddle is broader and more deeply padded than other road saddles, but
still narrow & firm enough to promote higher cadence pedaling
Tektro’s V-brakes offer plenty of stopping power (and plenty of room for the addition of
fenders) with a modulator in front to ensure controlled braking.
Our new kraton dual-compound grips are anatomically shaped for increased comfort
and control.

Compact Disks.FSA’s compact crankset concept is revolutionary:
a 34T inner chainring offers a 15% lower gear ratio
than traditional 39T double ring’ed road cranks, but
the 50T outer loses only 6% off
the top end compared to a 53T traditional outer. You
get the hill climbing capability of a triple, yet less
weight than a standard double.”
In the Saddle.The first and most important point of contact
between rider and ride is the saddle. More riders
ride less because of discomfort here than any other
reason. Which is why we specify Selle San Marco
Elba saddles on the Allegro 2 and 3. Designed to
provide support while following the movement of
the pelvis during pedaling, these saddles offer the
perfect balance of ample width and padding for all
day comfort.
Absolute Versatility.Every Allegro offers a full complement of eyelets and
rack mounts to simplify installation of carriers and
fenders. We even include bosses on the underside
of the seatstays for installation of an O-lock or ring
lock. Ring locks are tremendously popular in Europe.
A simple turn of the key immobilizes the rear wheel
and prevents someone from riding off on your bike.
Brake Dance.LInear pull brakes are powerful stoppers, but the
length of their arms were originally developed for
mountain bikes: they needed to be tall enough to
allow the brake cable that stretched from the top of
one arm to the other to clear the tire. With 700 x 32c
tires, the Allegros don’t need brake arms that long.
Enter the mini-vee. Long enough to provide plenty of
power, with room for fenders. Short enough to look
really good on the Allegro.
Just In Case.Because it’s much easier and much less expensive
to replace a derailleur hanger than it is to repair
or replace a frame, every Allegro is built with a
replaceable derailleur hanger designed to yield in a
crash before the frame does.
Allegro series share the speed and efficiency of a road bike, with the heads up riding position so many people prefer. Road
based components, featuring double compact cranks, road component drive-trains, lightweight and efficient aluminum
frames and carbon forks, these bikes perform whether you want to ride for fitness or train for a better you.

Fast Rolling Tires from Best in the Biz.Vittoria is renowned for being the best bicycle tire
manufacturer in the world. What is the Vittoria
advantage? TPI. For any given tire category, Vittoria
typically offers a higher threads-per-inch count
than its competitors. More casing threads reduce
tire weight because less rubber is required to fill
the gaps between the threads. Less rubber also
lowers rolling resistance because there is less casing
deformation. Most importantly for our Allegro bikes,
more threads yield a thinner and more flexible
casing for a more comfortable ride.
Full Carbon Fork.The Allegro 3 features a fork built by the same
team with the same carbon fiber engineering
and manufacturing expertise that makes all our
Xenith frames and forks. This is a full carbon fork
manufactured as a single-piece monocoque, so it’s
lighter, stiffer, and stronger than 3-piece types with
carbon fiber blades bonded to an alloy crown with
an alloy or chromoly steerer.
Aluminum When it Matters.When it comes to fitness training and peak
performance, nothing is more detrimental to flying
fast than carrying more weight than you need to.
Which is why every Allegro is built with lightweight
triple-butted 6061 aluminum tubing. In fact, our
aluminum Allegro frames shed 14 ounces over their
steel Coda counterparts. We design comfort into the
naturally stiffer ride by specifying larger volume 28c
tires, using similar geometry as our Codas and then
adding a few millimeters to the wheelbase length.
Adjustable Cockpit Height.Proper fit on your bike is critical for maximum
performance and comfort. That’s why we offer NVO’s
patented adjustable threadless stem system on
all Allegro models. Whether you want to fine tune
your ride and establish the perfect fit, or change
it regularly to suit different terrain, with this stem,
adjusting your handlebar height is as easy as
adjusting your seat post height. You can even adjust
it quickly while out on a ride.

The Allegro frame is made from lightweight 6061 double-butted tubing with top & down
tubes hydroformed for extra strength, eliminating the need for welded-on gussets.
The head tube is designed to integrate the headset steering bearings into the frame,
eliminating the headset cups, reducing weight. Seatstays and chains stays are “S”-bent to
improve braking performance and increase heel clearance.
All Allegro frames offer a full complement of brazed-on, threaded accessory mounts to
simplify installation of carriers, fenders and water bottle cages.
Our full carbon fiber composite unicrown fork is significantly lighter than most 3-piece
carbon forks usually found at this level, since they are not full carbon, but instead have
heavier chromoly or alloy steerers with alloy crowns. Our fork is not only lighter, but stiffer
making it super-responsive to steering input.
Tektro’s mini “V” brakes offer stop-on-a-dime braking performance with a power
modulator on the front for safe, secure braking
FSA’s compact crankset includes a 34T inner chainring that delivers 15% lower gearing
than a traditional 39T road chainring, and a 50T outer that loses only 6% off the top end
compared to the traditional 53T outer.
Coupled with Shimano’s Tiagra/R440 18-speed drivetrain and an 11-26 cassette, you get a
wide range of gears with the shifting precision and performance of road bike group.
The 28 spoke Mavic CXP22 front wheel offer less aerodynamic drag than higher spoke
count wheels with reduced weight for higher performance.
Vittoria’s Randonneur 32c tires offer low rolling resistance for a fast ride with more air
volume and a wider “footprint” than 25 or 28c tires for a comfortable, confidence-inspring
ride. A “Double Shield” puncture-resistant barrier and reflective sidewalls increase safety,
security and peace of mind.
Selle San Marco’s Elba saddle rides comfortably & efficiently with classy Italian styling.
NVO Components ATS adjustable-height stem system is much lighter than traditional
angle adjustable stems, and offers a much faster and easier method for adjusting
handlebar height for more efficient and comfortable riding.
Our dual-compound kraton grips offer an anatomical shape for increased comfort

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Allegro 2 Femme is designed specifically for a woman’s body, with a shorter top tubed
frame, since many women prefer a more upright ride, and sensibly sized components
selected to fit for efficiency and comfort.
The Allegro frame is manufactured with lightweight 6061 double-butted tubing.
The top & down tubes are hydroformed for extra strength, eliminating the need for
welded-on gussets.
The head tube has been designed to integrate the headset steering bearings, reducing
weight. Seatstays and chains stays been “S”-bent to improve braking perofrmance and
increase heel clearance
All Allegro frames offer a full complement of brazed-on, threaded accessory mounts to
simplify installation of carriers, fenders and water bottle cages.
Our aluminum straight blade fork is lighter than more traditionally used chromoly, offering
a more responsive ride.
Tektro’s mini “V” brakes offer stop-on-a-dime braking performance with a power
modulator on the front for safe, secure braking.
FSA’s compact crankset includes a 34T inner chainring that delivers 15% lower gearing
than a traditional 39T road chainring, and a 50T outer that loses only 6% off the top end
compared to the traditional 53T outer.
Coupled with Shimano’s Sora SS 16-speed drivetrain and an 11-26 cassette, you get a wide
range of gears with the precision and performance of a road bike group.
Low spoke count Alex wheels offer less aerodynamic drag than higher spoke count wheels
and are lightweight for higher performance.
Vittoria’s Randonneur 32c tires offer low rolling resistance for a fast ride with more air
volume and a wider “footprint” than 25 or 28c tires for a comfortable, confidence-inspring
ride. A “Double Shield” puncture-resistant barrier and reflective sidewalls increase safety,
security and peace of mind.
Selle San Marco’s Elba saddle rides comfortably & efficiently with classy Italian styling.
NVO Components ATS adjustable-height stem system is much lighter than traditional
angle adjustable stems, and offers a much faster and easier method for adjusting
handlebar height for more efficient and comfortable riding.
Our dual-compound kraton grips offer an anatomical shape for increased comfort
and control.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The Allegro frame is made from lightweight 6061 double-butted tubing with top & down
tubes hydroformed for extra strength, eliminating the need for welded-on gussets.
The head tube is designed to integrate the headset steering bearings into the frame,
eliminating the headset cups, reducing weight. Seatstays and chains stays are “S”-bent to
improve braking performance and increase heel clearance.
All Allegro frames offer a full complement of brazed-on, threaded accessory mounts to
simplify installation of carriers, fenders and water bottle cages.
Our chromoly straight-bladed tapered unicrown fork damps road vibration for a smooth,
comfortable ride.
Tektro’s mini “V” brakes offer stop-on-a-dime braking performance with a power
modulator on the front for safe, secure braking.
The 24-speed drivetrain with 48/38/28 FSA crankset, SRAM X.3 twist-shifting rear
derailleur, and 11-32 cassette offers a much larger gear range, with much lower gearing,
for easier hill climbing, than standard 53/39 or compact 50/34 two ring road bike
drivetrains.
The Alex rim/Formula hub wheel set is light, but tough, for on or off-road durability, with
excellent load carrying capability & handling.
Vittoria’s Randonneur 32c tires offer low rolling resistance for a fast ride with more air
volume and a wider “footprint” than 25 or 28c tires for a comfortable, confidence-inspring
ride. A “Double Shield” puncture-resistant barrier and reflective sidewalls increase safety,
security and peace of mind.
Our Jamis Touring saddle is broader and more deeply padded than other road saddles, but
is still narrow & firm enough to promote higher cadence pedaling.
We outfit the Allegro 1 with an alloy hi-rise threadless stem and 60m of “shim stack”
spacers under the stem. In tandem with a generous head tube length, handlebar height
can be perfectly positioned to be both comfortable and efficient.
Our dual-compound kraton grips offer an anatomical shape for increased comfort
and control.

Allegro X bikes are a little like sport utility vehicles – off –road influenced and capable, but built for real life everyday use
whether urban, suburban or rural. Only they’re a whole lot more sensible for your health and our environment.
Go Anywhere. Do Anything.The drivetrains on all our Allegro X bikes feature
long cage ATB rear derailleurs, full-size triple
chainring cranksets (48/36/26 or 48/38/28) and
big 11-34 0r 32 cassette blocks. This gives you the
dual advantage of having high road bike gearing for
controlled pedaling at speed on descents and low
mountain bike gearing for easier pedaling uphill. It’s
a rider-friendly combination that’s made the Coda
series one of our best selling bikes.
Rock ‘n RollVittoria’s Randonneur Trail could very well be one
of the best do-it-all tires we’ve seen. They’ve got a
shallow yet aggressive tread that provides low-
rolling resistance on hardpack and roads yet bites
into soft trails. With Double Shielding (a reinforced
casing) for extra puncture resistance, and reflective
sidewalls for enhanced safety
In the Saddle.The first and most important point of contact
between rider and ride is the saddle. More riders
ride less because of discomfort here than any other
reason. Which is why we specify Selle San Marco
Elba saddles on the Allegro 2X and 3X. Designed
to provide support while following the movement
of the pelvis during pedaling, these saddles offer
the perfect balance of ample width and plenty of
padding for all day comfort.
2011 Allegro X Series - Fitness / Cross Training
Str

t
Absolute Versatility.Every Allegro X offers a full complement of eyelets
and rack mounts to simplify installation of carriers
and fenders. We even include bosses on the
underside of the seatstays for installation of an
O-lock or ring lock. Ring locks are tremendously
popular in Europe. A simple turn of the key
immobilizes the rear wheel and prevents someone
from riding off on your bike.
159
Adjustable Cockpit Height.Proper fit on your bike is critical for maximum
performance and comfort. That’s why we offer NVO’s
patented adjustable threadless stem system on all
Allegro models. Whether you want to fine tune your
ride and establish the perfect fit, or change it regularly
to suit different terrain, with this stem, adjusting your
handlebar height is as easy as adjusting your seat post
height. You can even adjust it quickly while out on a ride.
Fast Rollers.The advantage of large diameter wheels is getting
a lot of press these days with all the noise and news
about 29’ers. We like to think that the Allegro X is one
of the original 29’ers. With big 700C hoops (same
as a 29’er) that roll over bumps and holes better
than smaller diameter 26” mountain bikes wheels.
With a bigger contact patch for greater traction and
control than the 26’ers. But in the case of the Allegro
X, with a smaller 38c width & smoother tread that
significantly reduces rolling resistance over fatter,
knobbier 29’er mountain bike tires.
Suspension When You Need It.
Lock-Out When You Don’t.The advantage of a suspension fork should be
intuitively clear: hit a bump and absorb it; hit a bump
and stay in control of your bike. But suspension
isn’t always desirable. When riding on smooth
pavement or climbing, pedaling energy and power
can be absorbed and dissipated by the movement
(bobbing) of the fork. Enter lock-out. With a flip of
a knob on the top of the fork, the fork’s travel can
be locked from movement, allowing the bike to be
100% responsive to pedaling input.
Giving You a Brake.Disc brakes may seem like overkill on a street
bike, but they have many advantages besides
their incredible power (which come in real handy
in traffic). For one, it is much safer to ride in wet
weather with disc brakes than rim brakes. Once rims
get wet or muddy, using friction to stop the wheel at
its circumference is less efficient than using friction
to stop a less wet or muddy small diameter disc
from rotating near the center of the wheel. And
eliminating the rim from braking surface duties
results in a longer lasting wheel

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The Allegro X frame is made from lightweight 6061 double-butted tubing with top & down
tubes hydroformed for extra strength, eliminating the need for welded-on gussets.
The X’s head tube design integrates 44mm headset cups and bearings into the frame for a
clean look. Seatstays and chains stays are “S”-bent to increase heel clearance.
All Allegro X frames offer a full complement of brazed-on, threaded accessory mounts to
simplify installation of carriers, fenders and water bottle cages.
SR/SunTour’s NCX-D suspension fork features magnesium lowers (much lighter than
aluminum), hydraulic damping (for a smoother ride), and lock out (to prevent front-end
bobbing during climbing).
Shimano’s new M445 disc brakes offer powerful stopping with light action at the lever.
Importantly, they operate on mineral oil that is enviromentally friendly, non-corrosive,
thermally stable and oxidation resistant and delivers consistant performance under all
conditions.
The advantages of Shimano’s Center Lock hub design? A splined interface between rotor
and hub that is stiffer for increased braking power. It’s also lighter since the need for a
flange to mount the rotor to is eliminated.
The 27-speed trigger shifting drivetrain with 48/236/26 FSA AlphaDrive crankset,
Shimano Deore shifter & Deore XT derailleur and 11-32 Shimano cassette offers a much
larger gear range, with much lower gearing, for easier hill climbing, than standard or
compact double road drivetrains.
FSA’s PowerDrive splined BB & crank interface is significantly stiffer and stronger than the
traditional square taper crank/BB interface.
Vittoria Randonneur Trail 35c tires offers a versatile tread pattern perfectly suited for a
wide range of riding conditions, from trails to pavement.
Selle San Marco’s Elba saddle rides comfortably & efficiently, with classy Italian styling.
NVO Components ATS adjustable-height stem system is much lighter than traditional
angle adjustable stems, and offers a much faster and easier method for adjusting
handlebar height for more efficient and comfortable riding.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The Allegro X frame is made from lightweight 6061 double-butted tubing with top & down
tubes hydroformed for extra strength, eliminating the need for welded-on gussets.
The X’s head tube design integrates 44mm headset cups and bearings into the frame for a
clean look. Seatstays and chains stays are “S”-bent to increase heel clearance.
All Allegro X frames offer a full complement of brazed-on, threaded accessory mounts to
simplify installation of carriers, fenders and water bottle cages.
SR/SunTour’s NEX-4610 suspension fork offers preload-adjustable coil-spring suspension,
63mm of travel, and lock-out -- which can be quickly & easily turned on to prevent front-
end bobbing while hill climbing.
The 27-speed trigger shifting drivetrain with 48/36/26 DynaDrive triple ring crankset,
Shimano Deore Rear Derailleur and Alivio RapidFire shifter, and 11-32 Shimano cassette
offers a much larger gear range, with much lower gearing, for easier hill climbing, than
standard 53/39 or compact 50/34 two ring road bike drivetrains.
Shimano mechanical disc brakes deliver powerful & reliable braking performance for safe
& secure stops in all conditions.
The Alex rim/Formula hub wheel set is light, but tough, for on or off-road durability,
with excellent load carrying capability & handling.
Vittoria Randonneur Trail 35c tires offers a versatile tread pattern perfectly suited for a
wide range of riding conditions, from trails to pavement.
Selle San Marco’s Elba saddle rides comfortably & efficiently, with classy Italian styling.
NVO Components ATS adjustable-height stem system is much lighter than traditional
angle adjustable stems, and offers a much faster and easier method for adjusting
handlebar height for more efficient and comfortable riding.
The Jamis butted alloy riser bar offers a sweep that is neutral and natural for both road
and trail riding.
Our dual-compound kraton grips offer an anatomical shape for increased comfort
and control.

Geared to Go.The drivetrains on all our Citizens feature long cage
rear derailleurs, full-size 48/38/28T triple-chainring
cranksets and big 11-32T or 14-34T gearing in the
back. This gives you the dual advantage of having
fairly tall gears for controlled pedaling at speed
on descents as well as really low gearing for easier
pedaling uphill. It’s a rider-friendly combination
that’s made the Citizens a perennial favorite of
recreational cyclists.
Why 700c?So why go with a Citizen instead of an Explorer,
since they both seem to offer many of the same
comfort and quality attributes? It’s simple: if
your riding will be primarily on the road or on
smoothly graded trails, the larger diameter road-
bike sized 700c Citizen wheels roll faster with
less rolling resistance (thanks to the narrower
profile and smaller footprint of the tires) and roll
over potholes and railroad tracks more smoothly
than the 26” wheels of the Explorer.
Long Live Aluminum.A near all-alloy parts list -- alloy suspension
seat post, alloy stem, alloy crank, alloy seat
post clamp, alloy hubs, alloy rims, alloy brakes
& levers -- reduces weight, adds value and is
virtually rust-proof for long term durability.
Where It Counts.Our super plush saddle features Memory Foam
padding for optimum support with maximum
comfort. The slip-resistant suede-like top prevents
sliding and the burnished side panels reduce leg
friction while pedaling. Elastomer springs help
soak up high resonant road vibrations. Offered in
gender-specific sizes.
Comfortable, enjoyable mobility: that’s Citizen. This is the ultimate low-carbon-footprint, sight-seeing machine. It’s a low-
impact and fun workout for new cyclists and a zero-emissions way to get around town. We can’t think of a better way to be a
good Citizen.

Comfort & Control.Every Citizen offers telescoping coil-spring
suspension in the seat pillar, with Citizen 2 and
3 offering suspension in the fork as well. The
advantage is not just a more comfortable ride,
but a ride that is much easier to control and is
therefore safer.
Ride Position.A typical complaint from new or returning riders
trying to get into the cycling groove is feeling
uncomfortably perched forward with too much
weight on their wrists and having to crank their
necks backwards to see in traffic. We specifically
designed our Citizens to remedy this. The large
diameter 700c wheels push handlebar height up
and shorter top tubes pull handlebars closer to
the saddle, all to mitigate forward lean. Our 4-inch
rise handlebars sweep back at a natural hand-
grasp angle, with a long-quilled, angle-adjustable
stem attached to it that allow for a wider range of
adjustment to tune handlebar height and reach
perfectly for each rider.
And Easy to Ride.When it comes to recreational riding on a street
comfort bike, nothing gets more uncomfortable
faster than having to pedal more weight than
necessary. Which is why Citizen 2 and 3 are built
with lightweight 6061 aluminum tubing. In fact, our
Citizen aluminum frames are at least a half pound
lighter than our famous Coda street bikes. We
design comfort into the naturally stiffer ride of the
aluminum tubes by specifying larger volume 38c
tires and adding a few millimeters to the chainstay
and wheelbase length.
Easy to Look At. Easy to Get On.The Citizen gets an all new aluminum frame
design in 2011 with an arcing top tube for the
“Men’s” frames and S-bend top and down tubes
for a super-low step-thru “Women’s” version. In
fact, we hesitate to designate either with gender-
specific labels because the version with the
easy-access, low step-over top tube is suitable
for anyone with limited hip flexibility who might
be challenged to swing a leg over the rear wheel
when mounting & dismounting.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Citizen’s lightweight & durable aluminum men’s frame offers hydroformed top and down
tubes & bullet style cable guides for good looks and increased strength.
RST’s suspension fork offers 2 “ (50mm) of coil-sprung suspension, a lightweight alloy
crown and preload adjustor to dial-in the stiffness of the suspension according to rider
weight & preference.
CST’s new Marathon/Tour tire features a smart tread design for secure grip and low rolling
resistance on roads & pathways. And their generous 700 x 38c casing size holds more air
volume & is more comfortable to ride than narrower 23 - 28C road tires.
Weinmann’s ZAC-19 double wall rims are stronger, lighter and longer lasting than
standard single wall rims.

UPGRADES/CHANGES FROM 2010
New, stylish frame design with lower standover for women
Hi-tensile steel frame and fork for a reduced price
New tire design for secure traction and low rolling resistance
FEATURES/BENEFITS
Citizen 1’s hi-tensile steel frame, while heavier than more expensive aluminum, rides
smoother & more comfortably than aluminum thanks to the natural shock damping
qualities of steel.
The sloping double-diamond frame design in 7 sizes assures the best possible customer fit
for more comfort, better handling and increased safety.
Large diameter 700c road bike wheels roll faster & more predictably at speed and roll
over bumps & potholes more comfortably than smaller diameter 26” mountain bike sized
wheels.
The Citizen 1’s straight blade unicrown fork is lighter and simpler than a suspension fork for
more efficient cycling.
CST’s new Marathon/Tour tire features a smart tread design for secure grip and low rolling
resistance on roads & pathways. And their generous 700 x 38c casing size holds more air
volume & is more comfortable to ride than narrower 23 - 28C road tires.
Citizen 1’s 21-speed twist shifting drivetrain features a full size forged alloy 48/38/28
crankset (with pants guard!), a Shimano TX51 rear derailleur and Mega-Range freewheel
for easy climbing.
A near all-alloy parts list -- alloy micro-adjust seat post, alloy stem, alloy crank, alloy hubs,
alloy rims, alloy brakes & levers -- reduces weight, adds value and is rust-proof.
We offer super plush comfort saddles with slip resistant suede-type top, “thigh glide”
burnished sides, elastomer springs -- with male & female specific saddle lengths & widths.
Tektro’s Tenera brake levers offer slip-resistant, shock-absorbing inserts on the finger
contact points for more secure, comfortable braking
Our telescoping suspension seat post with 1” of coil-sprung travel smooths out the road
and trail.
The long quilled, 40 degree angle stem and 3” rise handlebars offer a comfortable, upright
ride position that’s easy on neck & wrists.

Then There Was Step-Thru.Our step-through version is exceptionally easy to
mount thanks to the low BB height and super-low
position of the S-bent top tube. No more swinging
a leg over the rear wheel, or pulling a knee up to
the chest to step over the top tube to mount a bike.
Then There was Light Weight.The lightweight & durable 6061 aluminum frame
features formed top and down tubes, S-bend
seatstays, internal cup head tube, and internal cable
routing for awesome looks and increased strength.
Brazen Saddles.Our super plush saddle features Memory Foam
padding for optimum support with maximum
comfort. The slip-resistant suede-like top prevents
sliding and the burnished side panels reduce leg
friction while pedaling. Elastomer springs help
soak up high resonant road vibrations. Offered in
gender-specific sizes.
Long Live Aluminum.A near all-alloy parts list -- alloy micro-adjust
seat post, alloy stem, alloy crank, alloy seat post
clamp, alloy hubs, alloy rims, alloy brakes & alloy
brake levers -- reduces weight, adds value and is
rust-proof.
In the Beginning.The Hudson was designed to ease the transition
from non-cycling to cycling for those who haven’t
been on a bike in some time. The laid back seat tube
and lowered bottom bracket height allows riders to
position their saddles for efficient leg extension and
still easily reach the ground while seated for balance
when stopped. The longer chainstays and wheelbase
in tandem with the lower center of gravity offers a
very smooth, stable ride.
New for 2011, think of it as part Explorer and part Earth Cruiser. Capable but cool. Casual but on it. We blended the flowing
curves and shaped tubes of seemingly disparate platforms like our carbon Dakota dXC and aluminum Durango and Earth
Cruiser and came up with a smart frame design that rides comfortably and casually and makes a bold statement at the
same time.

Innie vs Outie.You can get a Hudson with standard 7-speed
external derailleur shifting or one with extra special
7-speed internal gear hub shifting. “Extra special”
because internal gear hubs, like the Nexus 7-speed
offered on Hudson 3, have many advantages over
standard externally geared derailleur systems. They
shift smoother. They are more reliable and require
much less maintenance because the gearing guts
are not exposed to dirt or weather. Instead, the gears
are sealed within the hub and bathed in lubricant.
Best of all, they can even be shifted when stopped.
Comes in handy when you’re not used to down-
shifting before stopping.
And Easy to Ride.When it comes to recreational riding on a so-called
comfort bike, nothing gets more uncomfortable
faster than having to pedal more weight than
necessary. Which is why all Hudsons are built with
lightweight 6061 aluminum tubing. We design
comfort into the naturally stiffer ride of the alumi-
num tubes by specifying large volume tires and
lengthening the chainstays and wheelbase for a
stretch-limo sort of ride.
Locked and Loaded.SR Suntour’s NEX4600 suspension fork offers
63mm of travel to smooth out potholes, with ex-
ternal preload adjustment to tune spring rate, and
lock-out when the pavement is smooth.
Mr Clean.The Hudson’s alloy crankset features an outer-ring
chainguard. With another full length changuard
running the length of the chain from seatstay to
chainring, all socks, slacks, skirts and dresses are
well protected from the foul and oil-besotted chain.
6 Sizes Fit All.All frame sizes (and there are six to assure the best
possible fit for greater comfort and more secure
handling) offer an extra long head tube and hi-rise
handlebars for a comfortable, uprght ride position.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The Hudson was designed to ease the transition from non-cycling to cycling for those who
haven’t been on a bike in some time. The laid back seat tube and lowered bottom bracket
height allows riders to position their saddles for efficient leg extension and still easily reach
the ground while seated for balance when stopped. The longer chainstays and wheelbase
in tandem with the lower center of gravity offers a very smooth, stable ride.
Our step-through version is exceptionally easy to mount thanks to the low BB height and
super-low position of the S-bent top tube. No more swinging a leg over the rear wheel, or
pulling a knee up to the chest to step over thea top tube to mount a bike.
The lightweight & durable 6061 aluminum frame features formed top and down tubes,
S-bend seatstays, internal cup head tube, and internal cable routing for exceptionally good
looks and increased strength.
All frame sizes (and there are six to assure the best possible fit for greater comfort and
more secure handling) offer an extra long head tube and hi-rise handlebars for a comfort-
able, uprght ride position.
The alloy crankset features an outer-ring chainguard. With another full length changuard
running the length of the chains from seatstay to chainring, clothing is well protected from
the chain.
Our smooth-rolling 26 x 1.95” Sport Comfort tires are more comfortable to ride around
town than full knobby mountain bike tires, and feature cool looking skinwall sidewalls.
Hudson 1 offers a 7-speed Shimano twist-shifting, single chainring drivetrain that’s simple
to operate (only one shifter to command!) and is lighter than multiple chainring bikes with
a front derailleur.
Our super plush saddle features extra foam padding for optimum support with maximum
comfort. The slip-resistant suede-type top prevents sliding and the burnished side panels
reduce leg friction while pedaling. Elastomer springs help soak up high resonant road
vibrations. Offered in gender specific sizes.
The sealed cartridge bottom bracket & sealed headset improve performance and reduce
maintenance.
Our long quilled, short-reach stem and 3” rise handlebars offer a supremely comfortable,
upright ride position that’s easy on neck & wrists.
A near all-alloy parts list -- alloy micro-adjust seat post, alloy stem, alloy crank, alloy seat
post clamp, alloy hubs, alloy rims, alloy brakes & alloy brake levers -- reduces weight, adds
value and is rust-proof.

Twist Shifting DrivetrainsBoth Explorers feature either Grip Shift or Revoshift
hand controls for changing gears. Twist shifters are
typically lighter and easier to operate than “trigger”
shifters (easier to operate because they require less
manual dexterity than triggers). Because the shifters
are in-line with the handlebar, riders can grasp
the handlebar grip and shifter with a natural hand
position which just intuitively feels right. Multiple
shifts can also be made at one time with one roll
of the wrist, whereas trigger shifters often require
multiple pushes or pulls with thumbs or fingers to
accomplish the same task.
Comfort Saddle.Our super plush saddle features memory foam
on the Explorer 2 and high density polyurethane
padding on the Explorer 1 for optimum support
with maximum comfort.
Puncture Resistant Tire Casing.The Explorer 2 features a puncture resistant tire cas-
ing underneath the tread area. Aramid and Ceramic
particles suspended within an elastomer ply provide
a protective shield for that portion of the tire most
susceptible to punctures from road debris.
The Explorer is one of our best-selling bikes, ever. It may have been originally inspired by our mountain bikes, but the Ex-
plorer is a purebred street bike designed for the paved world. Our design emphasis is on quality, style, comfort and fun. In
fact, getting the most fun out of the ride is what these bikes are all about, with styling and comfort features that make get-
ting around so effortless it hardly feels like exercise.

Versatility.But don’t let all this comfort talk fool you into think-
ing the Explorer has limited uses. While conceived to
ease potentially reluctant beginners into cycling, the
Explorer has capabilities well beyond this. Under all
those comfort features sits a machine that is capable
of doing much more than keeping a new rider from
hurting. The 7005 aluminum frame is made by the
same team that makes our mountain bikes. And it’s
easy to add a rear rack for commuting, a trip to the
grocery store or a weekend camping trip.
Suspension.Every Explorer offers telesoping coil-spring
suspension in the fork as well as in the seat pillar.
The advantage is not just a more comfortable ride,
but a ride that is much easier to control and is
therefore safer.
Ride Position.A usual complaint from new riders trying to get into
the cycling groove is feeling uncomfortably perched
forward with too much weight on their wrists and
having to crank their necks backwards just to be able
to see in traffic. We specifically design our Explor-
ers to remedy this. With extra long head tubes to
push handlebar height up, shorter top tubes to pull
handlebars closer to the saddle, 4-inch rise handle-
bars that sweep back at a natural hand-grasp angle
and long-quilled, angle-adjustable stems that allow
for a wide range of adjustment to tune handle bar
height and reach perfectly for each rider.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Rugged mountain bike styling and large volume 26” tires make the Explorer as
comfortable on smooth dirt roads and groomed trails as on pavement.
The Explorer 1’s hi-tensile steel frame, while heavier than more expensive aluminum,
rides smoother & more comfortably than aluminum thanks to the natural shock damping
qualities of steel.
Our sloping double-diamond frame design with extra long head tube in 6 sizes assures the
best possible customer fit for greater comfort, better handling & all-around safer ride.
The Explorer’s suspension fork offers over 2” of bump-eating, coil sprung suspension with
alloy crown, stout 28mm stanchions and mini-boots to protect sliders
Our smooth-rolling 26 x 1.95” Sport Comfort tires are more comfortable to ride around
town than full knobby mountain bike tires, and feature a puncture-resistant casing that
helps protect tubes from flats.
Explorer 1 offers a 7-speed SRAM twist-shifting, single chainring drivetrain that’s simple to
operate (only one shifter to command!) and is lighter than multiple chainring bikes with a
front derailleur.
The alloy crankset features an outer-ring chainguard. We’ve also included a chain guide
(attached to the seat tube) that prevents the chain from falling off the chain ring during
shifts while bouncing.
A near all-alloy parts list -- alloy micro-adjust seat post, alloy stem, alloy crank, alloy seat
post clamp, alloy hubs, alloy rims, alloy brakes & alloy brake levers -- reduces weight, adds
value and is rust-proof.
Tektro’s Tenera brake levers offer slip-resistant, shock-absorbing inserts on the finger
contact points for more secure, comfortable braking.
Our super plush saddle features memory foam padding for optimum support with
maximum comfort. The slip-resistant suede-type top prevents sliding and the burnished
side panels reduce leg friction while pedaling. Elastomer springs help soak up high
resonant road vibrations. Offered in gender specific sizes.

smooth out the road and trail.
Our long quilled, hi-rise stem and 3” rise handlebars offer a supremely comfortable,
upright ride position that’s easy on neck & wrists.
We smartly include slip-resistant, shock-absorbing inserts on finger & foot contact points
on both the brake levers and pedals enhancing ride comfort & security.

NOTES:
184
We designed our Earth Cruisers to be kinder, gentler versions of our sport comfort Explorers. They’re simplified with easy to
use one or three speed drivetrains and without the complications of derailleurs and hand brakes to fiddle around with. In
spite of their name, they’re not just for riding at the beach. They’re for any rider anywhere looking for a simple, lightweight,
low maintenance, good looking bike they can casually and comfortably pedal around town all day, every day.
Sofa-of-a-Saddle.Our Earth Cruiser saddles are not just great looking,
they’re extraordinarily comfortable as well. Though
the size and shape is clearly generous, we’ve also
molded a channel into the top of the saddle to
relieve sitting pressure and use high-quality foam
for the supporting mattress. Elastomer springs
attached to the saddle rails help to soak up the
bumps and won’t oxidize like wound steel springs.
Smooth Rolling Tires.Our comfort tires have been designed to roll
smoothly on pavement, but offer a large 2.125”
footprint so that rides on park paths can be man-
aged securely. The additional benefit of that large
footprint is the larger air volume in the tire and tube,
which results in lower air pressure for a more com-
fortable ride than tires with smaller volumes and
higher air pressures.
No-Slip Pedals.The Earth Cruisers pedals offer a thermoplastic elas-
tomer insert on both sides of the pedal surface that
keeps shoes and sandals from slipping when soles
or pedals get wet. These inserts also make barefoot
pedaling comfortable.

Comfortable Steering.Our cruise-control handlebars were designed to
promote a comfortable no-weight-on-the-wrists rid-
ing position. With just the right sweep and rise, these
handlebars meet the rider’s hands without requiring
a forward bend at the waist, relieving pressure on
the back of the neck. Handlebar width has also been
carefully calculated so that when steered from left to
right it does not contact the rider, unlike many other
cruiser-style handlebars.
Diet Cruiser.Many cruisers weigh well north of 40 pounds. Not so
with the Earth Cruiser. Because nothing gets more
uncomfortable faster than having to pedal more
weight than necessary, we’ve pared as many grams
from the Earth Cruiser as we could. Starting with the
lightweight 7005 aluminum frame and a parts pick
that’s nearly all lightweight alloy parts. The result is
a 28.5 pound Earth Cruiser 1 that’s pure joy to pedal.
Looks Great Today & Tomorrow.Many of the parts specified on our Earth Cruisers
are made of aluminum to save weight, but also to
help preserve the finish of the bike. Aluminum parts
include the seat post, seat clamp, stem, rims, front
hub, kickstand and crank arms (EC3 and EC1). We’ve
even specified a silver-plated chain on the EC3 and
EC1 that doesn’t just look great, it’s way more rust-
resistant than standard carbon steel chains.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The Earth Cruiser 3’s lightweight & durable aluminum frame is easier to pedal than steel,
and its corrosion and rust-resistant attributes are perfectly suited for coastal salt water
conditions.
Our compact cantilevered cruiser design offers the lightest possible weight, with 4 sizes
assuring a better fit for a more comfortable and secure ride.
Our traditional seat-tube-centerline crank position offers the most comfortable pedaling
position on all terrains, is more stable and easier to pedal from a stop, and is easier to
pedal when out of the saddle than crank-forward designs.
Shimano’s 3-speed hub offers near maintenance-free gearing options with the simplicity of
single speed coaster brake stopping.
Alex’s Zuma alloy rims are reliably true & durable and are laced on the Earth Cruiser with
36 stainless steel spokes producing a strong, rust-resistant wheel.
The EC3 features a near all-alloy parts list -- alloy micro-adjust seat post, alloy stem,
alloy seat post clamp, alloy front hub, alloy rims, alloy kickstand -- all of which add value,
eliminate rust and reduce weight for an easier to pedal, more comfortable ride.
The Earth Cruiser saddle is similar to the ones as we use on our Jamis Explorer sport
comfort bikes -- with extra padding for optimum support with maximum comfort.
The slip-resistant suede-type top prevents sliding and the burnished side panels reduce
leg friction while pedaling. Elastomer springs help soak up high resonant road vibrations.
This saddle is offered in gender specific shape and sizing for each of our Men’s and
Women’s models.
Our Jamis Cruiser bar is the most sensibly designed in the business -- just the right width,
sweep & rise, for a perfectly comfortable upright ride that won’t accidentally knock you in
the ribs during tight radius, slow speed turns like in a driveway or parking lot.
The rubber-like inserts on the pedals are actually slip-resistant, offering some shock-
absorption as well, for a safer, more secure ride. You can even ride barefoot comfortably!

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The Earth Cruiser I’s lightweight & durable aluminum frame is easier to pedal than steel,
and offers corrosion and rust-resistant attributes in coastal salt water conditions.
Our compact cantilevered cruiser design offers the lightest possible weight, with 4 sizes
assuring a better fit for a more comfortable and secure ride.
Our traditional seat-tube-centerline crank position offers the most comfortable pedaling
position on all terrains, is more stable and easier to pedal from a stop, and is easier to
pedal out of saddle than crank-forward designs
Alex’s Zuma alloy rims are reliably true & durable and are laced with 36 stainless steel
spokes on the Earth Cruiser I producing a strong, rust-resistant wheel.
The EC1 features a near all-alloy parts list -- alloy micro-adjust seat post, alloy stem,
alloy seat post clamp, alloy front hub, alloy rims, alloy kickstand -- all of which add value,
eliminate rust and reduce weight for an easier to pedal, more comfortable ride.
The Earth Cruiser saddle is the same as we use on our Jamis Explorer sport comfort bikes
-- with extra foam padding for optimum support with maximum comfort. The slip-resistant
suede-type top prevents sliding and the burnished side panels reduce leg friction while
pedaling. Elastomer springs help soak up high resonant road vibrations.
Our Jamis Cruiser bar is the most sensibly designed in the business -- just the right width,
sweep & rise, for a perfectly comfortable upright ride that won’t accidentally knock you in
the ribs during tight radius, slow speed turns like in a driveway or parking lot.
The rubber-like inserts on the pedals are actually slip-resistant, offering some shock-
absorption as well, for a safer, more secure ride. You can even ride barefoot comfortably!
The new generation Hi-Stop coaster brake features a new hub shell tested 1 x 1 for absolute
concentricity & zero shoe vibration.

Our Taxi and Boss Cruiser are what we’d call seriously casual -- designed to be low maintenance, built for comofrt, but with
the durability to be ridden every day for years on end. Choose between the versatile Boss Cruiser 7-speed, with its Shimano
drivetrain and dual hand brakes; the back to basics Boss Cruiser Coaster and its single-speed drivetrain and coaster brake;
or the Taxi, which we build specifically for the rigors of the resort rental-bike world, where minimizing down time is not just
about maximizing fun time: it’s business critical.

Thorn-Resistant Tubes.Nothing spoils a ride faster than a flat tire. Which
is why we specify thorn-resistant inner tubes on
our Taxi. Regular inner tubes are 1.1mm thick.
Those on the Taxi? A whopping 4.3mm! Not only
will these let riders pedal without fear of flats, the
tires will hold air pressure much longer, requiring
less frequent inflation.
Legendary Frame Design.These one-piece single-loop stays with trailing
dropout plate have been a Boss and Taxi signature
since 1980. Reducing the number of rear triangle
welds makes these frames stronger and stiffer.
And we don’t have to swage the tubes to a smaller
diameter to mate with standard tabbed dropouts,
allowing the stays to remain near constant in
diameter, yielding an even stronger frame and a
bigger, bolder style.
Taxi Saddle.The Taxi saddle is as durable as it gets, with
an extra-thick 3 mil cover to resist puncture, a
flat top that won’t pool water when the Taxi is
parked in the rain, box section rails that will never
bend, and double-loop springs that comfortably
support passengers.

Sealed Cartridge BB.Cartridge bottom brackets have seals to prevent
the ingress of water and dirt. A desirable feature
in an area on the bike that is low to the ground
and therefore subject to “the ingress of water and
dirt”. That’s why the Taxi is spec’ed with a sealed
cartridge BB, and one that has an aluminum
sheath that won’t oxidize in the BB shell.
Galvanized Rust-Buster Chain.The galvanized “rust-buster” chain on the Taxi
features a coating of zinc and chrome, protecting the
chain against rust. In fact, this coating increases the
rust-resistance of the chain to 500 times (!) longer
than a regular chain.
Heavy Duty Wheels.Wheels on most bikes are laced with thin 14 gauge
or 15 gauge spokes. Not so on the Taxi. While 14 or
15 gauge wire is perfectly suitable for most cycling
scenarios, we want the Taxi wheels to be as strong
as the landing gear on a 747. That’s why the Taxi’s
wheels are built with 72 heavy-duty 12 gauge
stainless steel spokes.
Rubber Headset Cover.It’s small details like these that set Jamis apart
from the rest. Bikes, especially those employed in
rental fleets, are often power washed for cleaning. A
procedure that can wash away or break-down bearing
grease. That’s why we include a Ritchey headset cover
on every Taxi to help protect and seal the headset
bearings against the elements and the hose.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The Taxi’s lightweight & durable aluminum frame is easier to pedal than steel, and offers
corrosion and rust-resistant attributes in coastal salt water conditions
Our sloping double-diamond frame design offers the lightest possible frame weight, with 6
sizes assuring the best possible customer fit for the most comfortable & secure ride.
The large diameter single-loop stays with trailing dropout are a Boss signature trademark:
they’ve been part of the Taxi design since 1984.
The near constant diameter stays look great and offer a longer wheelbase for a more
stable & comfortable ride.
Alex X303 box-section rims are reliably true & durable and are laced on the Taxi with 36
heavy-duty 105 gauge stainless steel spokes.
Taxi offers a plethora of rust-proof, corrosion-resistant alloy parts -- alloy micro-adjust seat
post, alloy stem, alloy crank, alloy chainring, alloy hubs, alloy rims and alloy kickstand.
Our Taxi saddle is as durable as it gets -- an extra-thick 3 mil cover that resists puncturing,
a flat top that won’t pool water, and box-section rails that won’t bend -- with double-loop
springs for extra shock-absorbing comfort and convenient bag loops that make attaching
a rear bag a cinch.
Our Jamis Cruiser bar is the most sensibly designed in the business -- just the right width,
sweep & rise, for a perfectly comfortable, upright ride -- and is fully padded on the Taxi
The pedals on Taxi offer a slip-resistant, shock-absorbing insert for a more comfortable &
secure ride (even barefooted!), with axle bushings instead of bearings to resist salt-water
oxidation.
Shimano’s coaster brake is the industry’s benchmark in foot-powered stopping.
The Taxi’s chromoly quick release is much more durable under repeated use (as is required
in rental fleets when saddle height is changed for changing clients) than the more
commonly found alloy cam type QR’s.
Other Taxi unique features include thorn-proof tubes, sealed cartridge BB, rubber headset
cover, and a galvanized rust-buster chain, making Taxi the bomb-proof bike of choice
for resort rental fleets & factories and plants that utilize bicycles to move personnel and
product.

sweep & rise, for a perfectly comfortable upright ride that won’t accidentally knock you in
the ribs during tight radius, slow speed turns (like in a driveway or parking lot).
The rubber-like inserts on the pedals are actually slip-resistant, offering some shock-
absorption as well, for a safer, more secure ride. You can even ride barefoot comfortably!

2011 Youth SeriesEvery Jamis youth bike uses size-specific items like grips, saddles
and cranks that enhance comfort and control by providing the best
possible bike fit.
We focus on designing frames with low stand-over to take much of
the awkwardness out of getting on board and dismounting after.
We trim as much weight as we can with lightweight aluminum
frames on many of the youth models and use aluminum parts
where possible (and the limiting factor here is working within a
youth bike appropriate price point) to work towards that make-it-
as-light-as-possible goal.
The additional benefit of this spec-as-much-alloy-as-possible
design bias is that the product will hold up in the elements
significantly better (i.e. with a much slower and lower oxidation rate)
than other lower priced bikes that are built with more, cheaper steel
parts. We know because we have kids too and their Jamis youth
bikes are often left outside for much of the year. We’re amazed at
how good these bikes look 3, 5, and even 7 years later.
Another way we accomplish this aesthetic durability is to electroplate
the parts that are steel with a black protective coating. Parts that
might typically be chrome-plated instead. Even on girl’s bikes, which
usually get white paint instead of chrome, and then chip within
weeks of being purchased. While this black electroplating doesn’t
prevent rust, it does retard its onset. And even once oxidation has
commenced the black electro-plating helps to mask and conceal
the oxidation, whereas chrome plating would simply showcase it.
Another benefit of electroplating is that the manufacturing process
is less environmentally toxic than chrome plating.
Tire choices are made with an eye towards smooth rolling attributes
with large air volume for comfort and larger tire contact patches
or “footprints” for balance, stability and control. All boys models
are knobbed for off-road capability, but knob size is moderate to
small and tire profile is rounded so that rolling performance on
the pavement, where most kids are going to be riding, is not tooth
chattering or overly noisy. Girl’s models are “slick” type with tire
sipes to improve traction on wet surfaces.
Saddles are manufactured with high quality polyethylene and
polyurethane foams that offer a more durable and comfortable
support base that won’t pack down and bottom out. Kids will
enjoy riding longer and more often as a result. Saddle covers
are manufactured with high quality synthetic leathers that look
great out of the crate and hold up well to kid-level abuse. Our
girl’s saddles are broader-based and thicker foamed for absolute
comfort. With corner piping for extra durability and looks.
Our boy’s saddles feature a more abrasion resistant cover, or
abrasion resistant corner patches, with plastic guards often under
the nose and rear of the saddle. Shape and saddle profiles are
generally narrow so that under active pedaling, young thighs won’t
chafe.
The grips on our 16” wheeled and larger girl’s bikes are actually
manufactured similar to our saddles (without the saddle base and
rails of course). The core of the grip is a high density foam with high
“memory” that wont bottom out easily under low weight or impact
loads, thereby providing the highest level of comfort and control
for small hands. The cover is made with high quality synthetic
leather that in conjunction with the foam core offers much softer
tactile feedback and grip than much harder rubber or plastic grips.
These “comfort” grips also feature embossed designs which help to
provide a secure grip should they become wet.

Because boys will be boys and generally ride their bikes more
aggressively than some or many of the girls, the grips we specify are
TPE or kraton grade which are much firmer than the foam grips on
our girl’s bikes, but still provide the “give” and grip for the comfort
and control your our kids need to ride safely and securely.
Our 16” and larger wheeled girl’s bikes also feature full-support
platform pedals with a TPE or kraton grade non-slip pedal surface
insert (the same type of material that is often embedded in your
toothbrush these days to offer a more comfortable & less slippery
grip). These pedals are comfortable to ride upon, even bare-footed,
and when wet are much less slippery than full plastic versions of
platform pedals with no TPE insert.
Our 20” wheeled Laser 2.0 and Starlite 2.0 offer two types of brakes:
a standard rear coaster brake, which most youngsters are familiar
with, and a rear hand-pull brake, which many are not. Having the
traditional foot-powered rear coaster brake as a back-up allows
youngsters to get used to hand-braking without going cold-turkey
on the coaster brake they are comfortable with.
Painted fenders on all girl’s models (and thermoplastic ones on
the 12” Hot Rod) keeps bikes and kids clean. And the full length,
all metal chain guards we offer on all models, except for the multi-
geared boy’s mountain bikes -- the X-24 and X-20 – help keep legs
and pants clean as well.
Our 12” kid bikes feature easily serviceable ball bearings at all
rotating points. Not plastic bushings that tend to deconstruct once
a child really turns on to biking and starts riding frequently. Or
completely fall apart once a bike is grown out of and gets trickled
down to another rider. That includes ball bearings in the hubs,
bottom brackets and headsets.
Kickstands, safety bells, training wheels, derailleur guards -- all
where appropriate -- round out the Jamis youth package. And when
dressed up with our fun, eye-catching colors and graphics make
these the bikes that most kids gravitate towards and want to buy
and ride.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Our lightweight & durable aluminum X-24 frame is easier to pedal than steel.
The X-24 frame is spec’ed with a replaceable rear derailleur hanger for increased frame
longevity.
That suspension fork isn’t just for cool looks. It’s 45mm of bump-eating, telescoping travel
means greater control & safety for young riders.
Compared to bigger 26” wheeled bikes, the smaller diameter 24” wheels and shorter 12””
frame of the X-24 provides more standover clearance and a lower center of gravity for
enhanced control & safety, so young aspiring mountain bikers can learn to ride both on
road and off comfortably, securely and safely.
Shimano’s RevoShift twist shifters are kid friendly & easy to shift.
The double chainring crankset offers increased gear range (14-speeds) with an alloy outer
rock guard to protect the chainrings from contact with curbs or logs. Helps keep pants and
legs clean too!
A full alloy parts package -- including micro-adjust seat post, threadless stem, crankarms,
seat post clamp, brakes & rims -- reduces total bike weight and adds value.
The X-24’s XC saddle offers lots of high quality padding for comfort and control, with a
narrow nose so that legs can pedal freely without chafing.
A Shimano rear derailleur and Shimano SIS freewheel assures precise gear shifts all the
time, every time
We’ve spec’ed nut type, non-quick release hubs and seat post clamps, so that wheels and
seats remain securely and safely attached to the frame and fork.
Available in both aggressive and neutral colors so both genders can enjoy the X-24’s good
looks and great ride.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Our lightweight & durable aluminum Capri frame is easier to pedal than steel.
Capri’s swooping frame design has a purpose other than great looks: with 24” wheels this
bike offers a low standover and low center of gravity for stable, secure riding and control.
We’ve even increased the wheelbase length over our 20” mountain bike to offer even greater
stability, security and comfort.
Those attractively painted fenders keep the rain & mud off the bike AND the rider and look
cute to boot.
A six-speed drivetrain is enough for any girl to learn how to shift and master. It’s also enough
gearing to get around the neighborhood comfortably.
Which is why we spec just one single chainring in front: to simplify shifting. We top it off with
a full-wrap chainguard to keep the chain in place and clothes & legs out of the chain’s way.
Capri’s extra-plush, broad-based saddle provides plenty of comfort and support for young
riders, encouraging them to ride more, not less.
Our soft and comfortable foam grips feature a smooth vinyl cover that is embossed and
stitched to match the saddle & decal theme.
Shimano’s RevoShift twist shifters are kid friendly & easy to shift.
A Shimano rear derailleur and Shimano SIS freewheel assures precise gear shifts all the
time, every time.
A 60 degree hi-rise stem with 90mm extension and 150mm extra-long quill offers plenty of
up or down adjustment range to put those up-swept riser bars in just the right position.
Our pedals offer a non-slip insert that keeps feet and shoes in full contact even when wet for
safe & secure pedaling.
Those wide Brooklyn Speedway tires offer a large contact patch for greater stability, with a
smooth tread surface for easy rolling, and hold plenty of air volume for a more comfortable
ride.
Every Capri comes equipped with a kickstand so parking doesn’t result in gouges or
scratches and an unhappy new bike owner.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Our lightweight & durable aluminum X-20 frame is easier to pedal than steel.
The tubing is not just round; it has been tapered & ovalized to optimize frame strength and
durability while offering the cool looks today’s young riders demand.
Compared to bigger 24” wheeled bikes, the smaller diameter 20” wheels and short 10”
frame of the X-20 provides more standover clearance and a lower center of gravity for
enhanced control & safety, so young aspiring mountain bikers can learn to ride both on

There’s a protective derailleur guard attached to the rear of the frame to protect the rear
derailleur from knocks, keeping it in adjustment longer for greater safety & control.
A six-speed drivetrain is enough for any youngster to learn how to shift and master. It’s also
enough gearing to get around the neighborhood or park comfortably.
Which is why we spec just one single chainring in front: to simplify shifting. We top it off

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Our lightweight & durable 7005 aluminum is easier to pedal than steel.
Laser’s mini-cruiser design offers plenty of stand-over clearance for young riders and a
head-turning, two-tone paint finish that will be the talk of the neighborhood.
The over-sized blades and leading axle dropout of the Laser fork assures it will be up to the
task of getting there and back safely.
Our alloy rims are anodized black to provide even greater corrosion and rust resistance
than the alloy already possesses.
Before wheels are laced and trued, the rim sidewalls are ground to provide a smooth brak-
ing surface for the rear V-brake.
The 20” Laser actually offers two types of brakes: a standard rear coaster brake, which
most youngsters are familiar with, and a rear V-brake which many are not.
Having the rear coaster brake as a back-up, allows youngsters to get used to hand-braking
without going cold-turkey on the coaster brake they are comfortable with.
The Laser’s full-length & full ring-wrap chainguard keep clothes & legs cleanly and safely
out of the way of the chain.
Those knobby BMX tires look cool & grip good in the dirt, but they also feature a rounded
profile that rolls smoothly on neighborhood streets & driveways.
We build the Laser wheels with 36 spokes in a 3-cross lacing pattern for a strong & durable
wheel.
Our 4-bolt alloy stem and 580mm width steel BMX handlebars are stout & tough.
If a steel or alloy part is not painted or anodized, we protect it with a black electro-plating
which enhances the corrosion resistance of that part. The satin sheen of the finish looks
good too.
Every Laser offers a kickstand for parking that pride & joy up securely, and a safety bell to
announce that the Laser has arrived.

Starlite’s swept back handlebars aren’t boys BMX bars painted a feminine color: they are
specifically designed to be easy to reach and promote a comfortable, secure, and upright
ride position.
If a steel or alloy part is not painted or anodized, we protect it with a black electro-plating
which enhances the corrosion resistance of that part. Black may not be the most tradi-
tional or obvious parts color choice for a girl’s bike, but the black electro-plating finish
won’t scratch & flake as easily as pink or white paint will.
Every Starlite offers a kickstand for parking that pride & joy up securely, and a safety bell to
announce that she has arrived.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Laser’s mini-cruiser design offers plenty of stand-over clearance for young riders and a
head-turning, two-tone paint finish that will be the talk of the neighborhood.
The over-sized blades and leading axle dropout of the Laser fork assures it will be up to the
task of getting there and back safely.
Instead of chrome plating the steel rims of the 16” Laser, which has harsh environmental
effects, we powder coat them. This protects the rims with a coating that is remarkably
tough & looks great.
The Laser’s full-length & full ring-wrap chainguard keep clothes & legs cleanly and safely
out of the way of the chain.
Those knobby BMX tires look cool & grip good in the dirt, but they also feature a rounded
profile that rolls smoothly on neighborhood streets & driveways.
We build our smaller Laser wheels with 28 spokes in a 3-cross lacing pattern for a strong
& durable wheel.
Our 4-bolt alloy stem and 520mm width steel BMX handlebars are stout & tough.
If a steel or alloy part is not painted or anodized, we protect it with a black electro-plating
which enhances the corrosion resistance of that part. The satin sheen of the finish looks
good too.
Every 16” Laser offers stabilizing training wheels that assist the young rider in learning how
to pedal, steer and balance a bike for the first time.
The training wheel support struts attach securely both to the rear hub axle and the frame
itself so that the training wheels don’t rotate out of plane with the rear wheel, resulting in
a tip or spill.
Every 16” Laser also comes equipped with a safety bell that’s guaranteed to be rung
whether the new cyclist is on or off the bike.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Miss Daisy’s swooping frame design has a purpose other than great looks: with 16” wheels
this bike offers a low standover and low center of gravity for stable, secure riding and control.
We’ve even increased the wheelbase length over our 16” Laser to offer even greater stability,
security and comfort.
Those attractively painted fenders keep the rain & mud off the bike AND the rider and look
cute to boot.
Miss Daisy’s extra-plush, broad-based saddle provides plenty of comfort and support for
young riders, encouraging them to ride more, not less.
Our soft and comfortable foam grips feature a smooth vinyl cover that is embossed and
stitched to match the saddle & decal theme.
The full-length & full ring-wrap chainguard on Miss Daisy keep clothes & legs cleanly and
safely out of the way of the chain.
Our pedals offer a non-slip insert that keeps feet and shoes in full contact even when wet for
safe & secure pedaling.
Those wide Brooklyn Speedway tires offer a large contact patch for greater stability, with a
smooth tread surface for easy rolling, and hold plenty of air volume for a more comfortable
ride.
We build Miss Daisy’s wheels with 28 spokes in a 3-cross lacing pattern for a strong &
durable wheel.
Miss Daisy’s swept back handlebars aren’t boys BMX bars painted a feminine color: they are
specifically designed to be easy to reach and promote a comfortable, secure upright ride
position.
If a steel or alloy part is not painted or anodized, we protect it with a black electro-plating
which enhances the corrosion resistance of that part. Black may not be the most traditional
or obvious parts color choice for a girl’s bike, but the black electro-plating finish won’t scratch
& flake as easily as pink or white paint will.
Every 16” Miss Daisy offers stabilizing training wheels that assist the young rider in learning
how to pedal, steer and balance a bike for the first time
The training wheel support struts attach securely both to the rear hub axle and the frame
itself so that the training wheels don’t rotate out of plane with the rear wheel, resulting in an
unexpected tip or spill.
Every 16” Miss Daisy also comes equipped with a safety bell that’s guaranteed to be rung
whether the new cyclist is on or off the bike.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
The Hot Rod’s mini-moto “Y” frame design offers plenty of stand-over clearance for the
youngest of new cyclists.
We offer real ball bearing’ed (not plastic bushing’ed) wheels with 16 spokes that will roll
smooth and last long.
Same thing for the crank and headset on Hot Rod: both offer full ball bearing’ed construc-
tion so the ‘lil speedster can pedal and turn comfortably and securely.
Instead of chrome plating the steel rims of the Hot Rod, which has harsh environmental
effects, we powder coat them. This protects the rims with a coating that is remarkably
tough & looks great.
Our full-length & full chainring-wrap chainguard keep clothes & legs cleanly and safely out
of the way of the chain.
Those wide 2.125” tires offer a large contact patch for stability and control, and they’re
pneumatic, not rock solid, so they can be filled with just the right amount of air to provide
a comfortable ride.
Fenders keep puddle spray off the bike & the rider and look cute to boot. They help too to
keep feet and hands off the spinning wheels.
Hot Rod also features swept back handlebars that are easy to reach and promote a comfy
& secure upright ride position.
The stem on Hot Rod is all lightweight aluminum, with the top cap painted to match the
frame color.
If a steel or alloy part is not painted or anodized, we protect it with a black electro-plating
which enhances the corrosion resistance of that part. The satin sheen of the finish looks
good too.
The Hot Rod saddle features plenty of padding & single loop springs for quality support
and comfort. We finish it with a matching Hot Rod top cover print that’s sealed under a
protective clear coat.
Every Hot Rod offers stabilizing training wheels for learning how to ride safely and securely
and a safety bell that will happily announce when the first ride has been successfully
completed.
There’s a handlebar safety pad too, which every little tyke just loves to take off and put
back on when they’re not riding.
