Serious Full-SuspendersThe Dakar XC series proves that entry-level doesn’t have to mean beginner grade. Our most affordable fullsuspensionbikes aren’t dumbed-down single-pivot designs, but real multi-link chassis that offer all the benefitsof near-vertical wheel travel, suspension that remains supple and active under power and braking, and a solidlyplanted rear footprint when the going gets steep and you’ve gotta throw the power down.Our tried-and-true mp2 suspension—already more than a cut above the average—gets a rework for 2011, withasymmetric chainstays for enhanced rear end stiffness, giving you better power transfer and traction, and wickedcrisphandling through bermed turns and g-outs.A front triangle of rigid-yet-lightweight 7005 aluminum and 32 mm fork stanchions give these cross country bikesthe kind of front end stiffness that used to be reserved for downhill and all-mountain bikes—the result is point-andshoothandling, the kind that builds confidence and transforms tough trails into fun, rideable terrain.Full suspension opens up a whole new world of speed and possibility, and Dakar XC is the bike to take you there.DAKAR XC COMPFrameForkWheelsDrivetrain7005 aluminum all tubes with gusseted down tube, asymmetrical chainstays, fully-active/multi-link design with 90mm rear travel,Rock Ario R air shock with rebound dampingRock Shox Tora TK coil, magnesium lowers, 32mm stanchions, TurnKey lockout, external rebound damping adjustor, 100mm travelMavic XM 117 disc-specific rims, 32H, with Shimano Deore M595 Center Lock disc hubs, 14g black stainless steel spokesTires Geax Mezcal, 26 x 2.1”BrakesetCockpitSRAM X9 rear & X7 front derailleurs, SRAM X7 10-speed trigger shifters, SRAM S1000 GXP integrated crankset, 22/33/44TAvid Elixir 3 hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm Center Lock rotorsRitchey Mountain Rizer bar, Ritchey 4-bolt stem, Ritchey OS 2-bolt seatpost, Jamis Trail saddleDAKAR XC SPORTFrameForkWheelsDrivetrain7005 aluminum all tubes with gusseted down tube and asymmetrical chainstays, fully-active/multi-link design with 90mm rear travel,Rockshox Bar R air shock with rebound dampingRST Gilo Pro TnL coil, aluminum lowers, 32mm stanchions, external lock out, compression and preload, 100mm travelAlex TD-25 disc-specific rims, 32H, Formula ally 6-bolt disc hubs, 14g black stainless steel spokesTires Geax Mezcal, 26 x 2.1”BrakesetCockpitShimano Alivio front & rear derailleurs, Alivio Rapidfire SL 9-speed shifters, Shimano Alivio crankset, 22/32/44TTektro IO mechanical disc brakes with 160mm rotors and Tektro ML-330 leversJamis XC alloy riser handlebar, Jamis XC alloy threadless stem, Jamis alloy micro-adjust seatpost, Jamis Trail saddleMonterey Blue/Pearl WhiteSizes: 13”, 15”, 17”, 19”, 21”, 23”Weight: 30.75 lbsGloss Black/Pearl WhiteSizes: 13”, 15”, 17”, 19”, 21”, 23”Weight: 33.75 lbs20 21
