No, this photo of a seat clamp below the<br />
Kromo seat tube/top tube/seatstay juncture<br />
is not the Photoshop CS3 work of some <strong>Jamis</strong><br />
art director gone mad. Nope, we designed the<br />
thing that way so Jordie and George could<br />
slam their saddle as low as possible for some<br />
irresponsibly insane fl ight patterns of theirs.<br />
We’ll let them fl y, that’s their job. It’s ours to<br />
make sure when they come in for a landing,<br />
they’ve got some very secure gear. They can<br />
count on Kromo.<br />

GRAVITY HARDTAILS. AIR FORCE.<br />
These bikes are built to fl y, our own two-wheeled air force. Agility. Flickability. Durability. That’s what our pros wanted<br />
more of from the Komodo. And that’s what we gave them, carving material from the stout rear triangle, shaving<br />
a full 15mm off the chainstay length, tucking that rear wheel in tight for faster response on the ground and greater<br />
control in the air.<br />
The Kromo is a big favorite for Jordie Lunn and George Ryan, guys who spend more time catching air than<br />
a skydiving convention. They wanted more standover and a lower saddle position and we gave it to them with an<br />
integrated seat clamp that’s under the top tube. We added some real-world versatility by spec’ing a full-size cassette<br />
freehub and throwing in a derailleur hanger so you can bolt on a shifter, derailleur and 9-speed cassette for some<br />
trail riding when the mood hits.<br />
These are bikes that you can ride to the local jump spot, huck ’em hard, punish them, and just know you’ll be riding<br />
them home at the end of the day.<br />

The high fl ying members of Team <strong>Jamis</strong> wanted more “fl ick-ability” for the ’09 Komodo. After an all-night “conference” with Jordie defi ning<br />
“fl ick-ability”, our engineers set to work carving some mass out of the rear triangle without sacrifi cing strength. That meant smaller/lighter<br />
seatstays, dropouts and chainstay yoke. Then they hacked the length of the chainstays by 15mm, further reducing rear triangle weight,<br />
but more importantly, tucking that rear wheel in closer to the seat tube for greater, you guessed it, “fl ick-ability”. The challenge was to<br />
make sure there was enough room to run 2.4” tires. Yup, there is.<br />
