FRAME MATERIALS
Lightweight and strong triple-butted 6061 series aluminum tubing, featuring over-sized & tapered tubing for increased frame stiffness.
TAPERED HEADTUBE
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. A full 1.5 head tube and steerer would achieve this, but would add unnecessary weight and bulk, and limit stem choices. But a tapered 1 1 /8 to 1 1 /2 head tube serves up a significant increase in rough terrain tracking and stability without much of a weight penalty compared to standard 1 1 /8 systems.
WHY THRU AXLES?
The increase in stiffness of a 15mm fork axle improves steering & handling significantly. It also puts less stress on the forks internals, improving fork durability and performance. The hub drop outs provide a self centering feature for the wheel for fast, easy installation.
ONE & ONLY
The 1x drivetrain philosophy is to make it simpler, lighter and more durable. Specific chainring tooth profiles, clutch-type rear derailleurs and wide range cassettes are developed for an incredibly wide gear range and maximum control without the need to chain tensioning devices or guides.
TOP TUBE CABLE ROUTING
Running the cables up under the top tube keeps cables and housing out of the muck for more precise and reliable shifting performance.
DUAL WATERBOTTLE MOUNTS
Most of our Highpoint sizes offer two water bottle mounts located inside the main frame. This provides excellent hydration capacity in an easily accessible position.
About Jamis Bikes
Jamis Bikes started in 1937 as a component distributor, Jamis has since become one of the nation's premier brands thanks to its commitment to quality and a highly diverse product line. The company originaly started in 1979 with their Earth Cruiser model, which they still make.
Jamis is famous for its high-flying, high quality mountain bikes! Following their initial success with fun cruiser models, Jamis threw their hat into the burgeoning mountain bike movement with the release of the Dakota, Lightfoot and Roughneck in 1983. Practically prehistoric compared to their current models, these bikes were heralded as some of the first quality production all-terrain rigs of the day.
Not content to rest on their laurels, Jamis released the race-ready Dragon hardtail in 1993 at an unheard of weight of only 24 pounds, and then helped pioneer full-suspension bikes with the Dakar in 1995, a bike that has since gone on to win a multitude of "Best Of" awards from the industry's leading publications.
