VENTURA
PERFORMANCE ROAD BIKES
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price excludes shipping costs, dealer assembly/prep, taxes or import duties.
A WINNING BIKE FOR EVERYONE
Our Ventura Series bikes have won Bicycling’s coveted Editor’s Choice award numerous times. Which is why we offer the Ventura A1 and A2 in both male and female specific packages.
SIZE SPECIFIC FRAME DESIGN
Size Specific Design (SSD) is the Jamis design philosophy and technique used to create the best possible riding bike for each size rider. Rather than limiting frame size variations to just different length top, seat and head tubes lengths, we take an all-inclusive look at each frame’s total configuration. Every SSD frame will also feature size-specific BB drop, rear center, fork offset/trail and SST technology.
THE DISK REVOLUTION IS HERE
We are all-in. Disc brake technology provides superior stopping and safer braking no matter the conditions. They offer increased control and better modulation as you vary from being at-speed to slowing down or stopping. They are significantly less affected by rain and wet conditions, and eliminate any rim heat build-up that can come with caliper brakes. Gone is the need to be concerned with carbon rim deformation. Whether the streets of NYC or LA, or long and winding open roads, the control and safety that comes with disc brakes will only heighten the experience that comes with a riding a Jamis.
RIDE-TUNED SEATSTAYS
Having chainstay-mounted disc brakes frees the seatstays from their traditional role of brakes reinforcement. So we can focus on designing and tuning the seatstays for their primary purpose: ride compliance and torsional stability.
GENDER-SPECIFIC GEOMETRY
Our Ventura Femme versions offer women’s specific frame sizing & geometry and component selection, including anatomically adjusted top tube lengths, head & seat tube angles, fork rakes & women’s specific saddles, with handlebar, stem and crank lengths all dimensioned to optimally fit women for greater comfort & efficiency
COMPACT CRANKSET
FSA’s compact crankset concept is revolutionary: a 34T inner chainring offers a 15% lower gear ratio than traditional 39T double ring’ed road cranks, but the 50T outer loses only 6% off the top end compared to a 53T traditional outer. You get the hill climbing capability of a triple, yet less weight than a standard double.
RICHEY COMPONENTS
We’ve been specifying Ritchey parts on our bikes since 1986. Not just because Tom Ritchey’s designs are innovative and light, but because we know we can count on them to hold up. Ritchey testing standards are tough. Parts must pass a fatigue cycle testing standard that is at least the European CEN standard. The same stringent standards apply to impact testing as well. Once products have cleared machine testing, prototype samples endure rigorous use by both amateur and professional riders alike around the world. By the time we put these parts on our bikes, they have passed a global testing and approval process second to none.
TAPERED HEADTUBE AND STEERER
By enlarging the bottom bearing of the head tube from 1 1/8” to 1.5”, not only are head tube stiffness and steering precision increased, but we have sufficient room in the crown to produce a truly hollow fork from the dropout, up through the crown and steer tube, which yields exceptional compaction quality for increased strength and reduced weight.
FULL CARBON MONOCOQUE FORK
The carbon forks on our Ventura A1 and A2 models are formed as true monocoque forks, in one continuous unit (steerer/crown/blades) for optimal strength and performance. Our competitors often use heavier 3-piece bonded carbon/alloy forks in this price range.
BUILT FOR SPEED. HIGH IN COMFORT.
Our Ventura bikes borrow heavily from our race-proven geometry to help keep you in front on the local Saturday ride. But we’ve softened the edges of that geo just a bit for a more comfortable and confident ride so you can head out again on Sunday, still fresh and ready to hammer your buddies one more time.
