2008 JAMIS DAKAR XCR SPORT - FULL SUSPENSION CROSS COUNTRY MOUNTAIN BIKE

The XCR series with mp3 suspension was extraordinarily well received in 2007. Thumbs-up reviews in magazines and at clinics and demos world-wide drove mountain bikers to Jamis dealers and the product category was a virtual sell-out.

This year we’ve upgraded the XCR mp3 rear suspension with 10mm rear shock hardware to significantly bolster lateral rigidity for more precise wheel control out on the trail. A full 100 mm of near-vertical rear wheel travel is available to keep the tire planted and the traction coming, whether you’re surging up an ascent or taking an off-camber turn at the limit.

The Kinesium aluminum frame on the Expert, Comp and Sport is light—just over 5.5 pounds for a 17-inch frame (with shock) that builds into a very light, super capable XC racer with excellent torsional stiffness for cornering control and stand-on-the-pedals big-ring climbs.

Whether you’re into fast trail riding (and the XCR Comp with 85-130mm travel-adjustable front suspension is perfect for trail riding!), in the hunt for the local points series, or just want a light, quick, affordable (think Dakar XC!) way to explore, there’s a Dakar to suit your speed.

Easton EA30 cockpit parts feature Easton’s proprietary aluminum taper wall technology, a cold working process that produces multiple tapers to eliminate stress points & dissipate impact energy evenly . Using a 31.8 bar and stem combo will stiffen the cockpit up

The spoke bed eyelets featured on the WTB Speed Disc double wall rims are critical for rim longevity & durability. Disc brake torque will twist the hub, increasing the load on the nipples in the spoke bed. The addition of eyelet inserts in the rim prevents nipples from tearing through the spoke bed

WTB Rocket V Comp saddle offers a slim contoured shape with small “whale-tail” rear that enhances pedaling leverage

The WTB MotoRaptor tires dominate a variety of soils for true all-mountain use. The well supported knobs provide dependable performance whether you’re climbing, descending, carving, or drifting.
