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.
