Nothing rides like a 29er—more momentum rolling over obstacles, more comfort, less rolling resistance once you’re up to speed. But nothing feels like one either—you’re less on top of the wheels, sitting more in-between. 29ers literally put you more into the machine, and the result is more stability, more confident lines over tricky terrain, more speed and momentum. It’s a terrific platform, done right—and that’s all we do.
Simply put, nothing soaks up trail faster and better than our Dakar XCR 29 short-travel dualies. Tapered head tubes, 15mm thru-axle forks, hyper-refined frames with new, lighter weight shock mounts, 12 x 142mm thru-axle dropouts and 25% larger chainstays bring our XCR 29 up to a whole new level, and turn up the heat on the competition. And, as always, our component spec does more than just hold its own when compared head to head—we dominate on paper, because that’s what leads to domination on the trail.
And we positively own it, when it comes to our Dakota D29 and Exile hardtails. What makes a stellar hardtail is pedaling stiffness with ride suppleness and flickably quick, confident handling. There are no magic bullets here—it comes down to smart engineering and wickedly good geometry, and that’s been our bailiwick since the first Jamis MTB appeared back in 1982.
