Most companies have forgotten about touring bikes, but not us. There’s no substitute for the soulful self-sufficiency of a touring bike and the long-mileage day, and we’ve captured it with our Aurora series.

Legendary Reynolds steel is our frame material of choice, with 631 air-hardened steel for the Elite and 520 chrome-moly for the Aurora. Aluminum might be lighter, but that half-pound weight savings is nothing on a loaded tour and the trade-off in ride quality and comfort would only leave you aching after a long day in the saddle. These bikes aren’t about getting to the finish line first, they’re about going the distance -- comfortably, reliably, quickly.

Whether you’re chucking the car keys and making a commitment to commuting, or hitting the highway for a cross-country tour, Jamis has you covered.
