The Citizen is the sport-luxury bike in the Jamis street stable, with everything skewed just ever so slightly toward the comfy end of the scale. It’s no performance sell-out, by any stretch--it’s just a matter of details.

It’s details that add comfort without sapping too much from the speedy side of things. Details like the slightly wider 38 mm tires that have just a little extra squish room. Or elastomer-sprung memory foam saddles with suspension seatposts.

But this doesn’t mean the Citizen is all soft, either. The lightweight alloy wheels and new-for-2009 hydro-formed aluminum frame keep it light and nimble, and the angle-adjustable stem helps fine-tune your position to perfectly split the difference between an aero tuck and an upright posture.
