Mouth watering performance at an extremely attractive price.
Sizes:
13-21 inches
Frame:
TIG-welded double-butted 7005 aluminum alloy with Fox Air Vanilla R shock, 90 millimeters of rear wheel travel
Fork:
Manitou X-Vert, 100 millimeters of travel.
Component Highlights:
27-speed Shimano Deore LX front and XT rear derailleurs, Deore shifters, Deore LX crank, Hayes hydraulic disc brakes

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF JAMIS:
Because it's a relative unknown, the company is focused on building a loyal following. That means it undercuts most similarly spec'd bikes by hundreds of dollars. The Dakar Expert is no exception, with its performance-oriented component selection (including Hayes hydraulic brakes and Mavic 223 disc rims) and effective Fox coil-sprung suspension.

BOTTOM LINE:
The Dakar Expert is a real steal - worth both the process of hunting for a dealer and explaining your choice to brand conscience friends.
