2008 BIKE CATALOG - Jamis Bicycles

ALUMINUM COMP
Our Ventura line uses the Xenith’s race-proven geometry and lightweight triple or double-butted
aluminum frames to keep you up front on the local Saturday ride. A carbon monostay and size-specific
tubing helps provide consistently good ride quality, even for smaller sizes where aluminum’s stiffness
can be too severe.
These are race-inspired, race-ready bikes you can train with, whether hammering your buddies or finally
conquering the local version of Heart Attack Hill.
Our full-carbon composite fork shows off the Ventura’s race-tuned geometry, letting you quickly turn in then
surge out of corners like a pro. The short chainstays shore up the rear end for sprints and surging climbs, while
the front end’s torsional rigidity lets you pull on the handlebars out of the saddle without losing your line.
Shimano 10-speed Ultegra and 105 drivetrains provide flawless, reliable shifting. And with female specific geometry
and component sizing in the Ventura Race Femme, everyone gets better fit and position. Women benefit, obviously,
but men do too since their bikes are designed for less compromise.
Don’t let the price tag fool you, the Ventura Elite is ready to race straight from the crate.
A Kinesis Superlight triple-butted frameset with carbon fiber monostay, full Shimano
Ultegra drivetrain and FSA Gossamer Mega-Exo compact crankset should prove it. We
even include Shimano dual pivot brakes, a full Easton cockpit, Selle San Marco saddle
and Vittoria rubber. The Elite is possibly the best value in road-racing machines. Period.

While butted aluminum can possess excellent strength and a high stiffness-to-weight ratio, it can be a bit harsh riding and back-side numbing
when you spend several hours in the saddle on longer rides. The lightweight carbon monostay on our Ventura Elite and Race naturally damps
road vibration, smoothing the pavement and giving you an edge both in reduced frame weight and reduced rider fatigue.
