2008 BIKE CATALOG - Jamis Bicycles

PREPARE TO BE BLOWN AWAY
Parker is designed for riders who want a stout-but-light-&-tight bike they can use for gate racing,
jumping, slope style riding, or all day trail riding. We took our proven XLT, beefed up the pivots, shock
hardware and bell crank, modified the rear triangle, reined in the rear travel a bit, and bolted on forks
with a huge range of travel options so riders can dial in just the right amount of travel they want for
specific riding conditions. The result blew us away. We couldn’t decide whether to build the bike as an XLT
all mountain replacement, or a fast slope-style freerider, or a dirt jump/gate racer. So we built all three.
The base model Parker 1.0 features an all-mountain/all-day triple-ring set-up, just like the XLT of last year.
But with the significantly stronger/stiffer Parker frame and adjustable travel Rock Shox Recon fork, the bike is
even more versatile and durable. The 2.0 features a more freeride/slope-style double-ring set-up with an e13
SuperCharger bash guard and 20mm Maxle fork/hub interface. The 3.0 gets a dirt jump or gate race single-ring
set-up with an e13 chain guide and 20mm Maxle.
So now comes the hard part. Which Parker is it gonna be?
We also increased the size of our shock mounting hardware, from 6mm to 10mm. A sweet and
simple modification that also yielded huge performance gains. The frames are significantly
stiffer and flex-free enhancing both rear shock performance and durability.

The Parker frame design evolved from our proven Dakar XLT platform, modified to stand up to the rigors of gate racing/slope style riding and
jumping. One of the modifications -- a lower, closer to hub-axle centerline dropout pivot position – yielded a lighter, stiffer, and stronger rear
triangle. Another – reducing the wheel travel/shock stroke leverage ratio from 2.6:1 to 2:1 made the suspension much more active.
