Jamis Renegade A1 - Black Pearl

JAMIS RENEGADE A1 - BLACK PEARL

Since 2014, the Jamis Renegade has been defining versatility in modern adventure bikes. The key is a finely tuned frame and fork design that maximizes handling and comfort. Whether you’re road riding with 28mm tyres, adding a rack and fenders for commuting on 32’s or exploring the backcountry wilderness fully loaded up on 37mm rubber.

(Our steel and aluminum Renegades will accommodate up to a 700cx50mm or 650bx2.00” tyre.)

VERSATILE APPLICATIONS

Renegade enables you to be a commuter in the morning, leader of the after-work group ride and take off for a 300-mile bikepacking expedition over the weekend.

All with a single bicycle.

With over 20 fork and frame mounts you can now choose to mount fenders, rear carrier, low-rider front carrier (or two cages for water bottles/storage) and three front triangle water bottles.

Add clearance for 700x50mm and 650bx2.00” on our steel and aluminum models, and it’s clear the Renegade series is equipped to accommodate any adventure. Note: Renegade aluminium and steel frames with fenders can accomodate up to 35mm wide tyres.

THE FRAME CONCEPT

Starting with a wide and consistent stack and reach range, we set out to design a frame that could handle on or off-road conditions while maintaining a comfortable and consistent ride.

As you start to review the geometry chart you will notice we have 3 different fork offsets, BB drops and rear center measurements depending on frame size.

Why did we go to this effort?

We set out to ensure every Renegade rider will experience the ultimate in adventure bike performance regardless of their frame size.

Most of our competitors simply design one fork and strap it to every frame size.

While this may work just fine for a bicycle that’s designed to be ridden with a single tyre size (think a road racing bike), it significantly impacts the handling and ride quality of an adventure bike when swapping out your 28mm wide tyres for 32s, 40s or even 47mm tyres.

Add size specific tubing (we vary the diameter of the frame tubing depending on frame size) and 2 different sized rear triangles and you have what we feel is the perfect adventure geometry for all sized riders and the best riding adventure bike. Period.
