Jamis bikes: product line overview

For the past year, Jamis from the USA has rightfully been considered the best manufacturer in the bicycle market. She has established herself as a reliable, respected brand among all fans of this type of transport - from ordinary people to true connoisseurs and professionals.

The first bicycles appeared in the XIX century, since then they have changed a lot. Over time, various variations of this type of transport appeared. Some varieties have taken root and still exist; others remained in history only links in the evolutionary chain of bicycles.

Universal view of the bike. It can equally well surf both the expanses of impassable roads and country roads, as well as narrow and busy city streets. Bicycles of this class have a reinforced structure: the steering rods, frames, seats, rims and kerchiefs have increased strength. Strengthening these parts significantly increases the stability of the device, and, therefore, comfort while driving.

In similar bikes, the distance between the bicycle carriage and the road is significantly increased, which makes it possible to overcome even the deepest bumps or large stones without serious harm to the main systems of the vehicle. In mountain bicycles, or mountain bicycles, the wheels are noticeably widened, such a detail has an important functional solution - this allows you to carefreely ride on different surfaces, such as grass, clay, dirt, gravel, pebbles.

This bike segment is geared towards ultrafast riders. Athletes prefer such bikes; they are used in cycling competitions.To increase performance, they are made as easy as possible with the use of ultralight alloys of aluminum and other metals. Because of this, the impact resistance of the device is seriously affected. The average operating life of the roadway is about two to three years of intensive use.

This type of bike is not suitable for everyone, as it has a very low landing helm and a high seat. This is due to an attempt to reduce body volume during movement to minimize air resistance.

This convenient fixture can replace public transport or a car. This type of bike does not take its speed or permeability, but a wide list of functionality. Urban bikes are specifically designed for maximum user comfort. In these bikes, additional shock absorbers are installed directly near the brake mechanisms to ensure a smooth ride. The seat itself has a more ergonomic shape, and the steering wheel has a relief coating for the comfort of a cyclist.

The weight of urban bicycles is average, some models have a “folding” function, thanks to which this vehicle is more convenient to store, since it takes up less space. As for maneuverability, then urban models are ahead of everyone else. A typical rudder device helps them to change direction while driving. This makes the bike safer for both the cyclist and other road users.

The lineup includes many models for different categories of consumers. Consider the most popular models.

The most sought after model in the entire Jamis line. This is a mid-range mountain bike in a mountain bike class. A 24-inch frame is installed here, like most components, it is made of reinforced stainless steel. The steering system provides maximum control of movement at high speeds or on difficult sections of the road. The only gripe is the Shimano Acera transmission, which, due to unstable materials of manufacture, becomes completely unusable a few months after active use.

In the Trail X model was provided the possibility of full customization. Thanks to this, you can adjust the bike to your personal needs by changing the seat, wheels, pedals, fenders, steering section. The maximum possible acceleration speed on the Trail X is about 15-17 km / h on the road. Another plus can be considered a fork with hydraulic protection and primary load regulators, as well as a hydraulic gear regulator, which will significantly increase ride comfort and improve handling.

Honored Representative of Classic Jamis Models. The bike has a mountain focus, and a solid aluminum frame only contributes to this. The lineup contains bikes with a wheel diameter of 20, 26, 29 inches. RST attachments provide enhanced reliability. The Durango model has a special fork, which is a double shock absorbing device with vibration isolation of the steering wheel.

Because of this, his shaking during the ride even on the most neglected off-road is not felt. Hydraulic brake system from Shimano Acera, but already of higher quality than in the previous model. The bike weighs 25 kg and accelerates to 17 km / h, ergonomic design.

The sports bike is designed for long trips, and this entails a number of features: a wide soft seat, a high steering wheel, full adjustment of all parts of the device, wide pedals and thin frames. The main highlight of the bike is its high load capacity due to the reinforced boot, which is mainly made of steel, titanium and aluminum. On the trunk and the front steering rack install special mounts, with which you can attach additional baskets, seats and other elements. The trunk is designed for cargo up to 100-120 kg.

Jemis offers a wide range of children's bikes. Below are the best models for ages 4 to 10 years.

The bike is designed specifically for children who are just learning to keep balance, pedal and turn. The weight of the bike is 15 kg, it is made of an aluminum alloy coated with paint and a special anti-corrosion solution. The steering wheel is equipped so that it is convenient for children to hold on to it, and the elements of the rotary mechanism are equipped with additional connections, which adds the ability to adjust the height of the steering wheel and individually adapt to the needs of each child.

For even greater safety, the bicycle was equipped with plastic protective partitions near the pedals to protect the chain from the child’s feet and debris. Complete with the bike are two additional training wheels.

Bike from a high price category. Suitable for those who have already mastered skiing skills. It has a number of features: 20-inch wheels, the center of gravity is moved lower to stabilize the bike while riding. The wheelbase has been increased by 35 inches to provide even greater comfort, safety and better handling. The wheels are as light as possible and require less energy when driving.

This effect is due to the ultra-light alloy with rust protection. The Starlite wheels themselves have 36 spokes in triple “lacing” with titanium rims. All this helps to repeatedly increase the strength of the wheels themselves.

The choice of a bicycle should be approached with maximum responsibility - not only the quality of the walk depends on this, but also your life. Following the three most important, but simple rules, you will protect yourself from error.

• Before going to the store, firmly decide for what specific purpose you will use the bike. Its variety, which plays a significant role in operation, depends on this.
• When buying, carefully check the condition of the brake system. V-brakes or disc brakes are best chosen according to the principle: if you want an inexpensive bike, then V-brakes are the best choice, but if the budget allows, it is better to stop on disc brakes.
• Try to choose a bike for your size. This can be done according to a special size table.

After analyzing the reviews on the Internet, we can conclude that Jamis bikes are popular and trusted by people. Simple users are attracted by affordable prices, safety, good design, functionality and diversity of models.
