When you hear the call of the open road, nothing satisfies like the feeling you get from moving across the land under your own power. The Jamis Aurora is built for the journey, with a classic Reynolds steel frame and a host of confidence-inspiring touring-specific components. Jamis' Size Specific Tubing puts strength where you need it while maintaining compliance over rough roads, and allows for serious load-handling capability — up to 80 lbs! A 3x9 drivetrain with barend shifters keeps things simple and reliable and provides a massive gear range, and lightweight, effective Tektro linear-pull brakes are easily serviced in the field should an issue arise. Of course, the Aurora is loaded with eyelets and rack and fender mounts galore to provide a stable hauling platform and even includes a rear rack and full-coverage fenders to get you started. Finally, durable Vittoria 700 x 32c tires and sturdy double-wall Alex rims provide the smooth and fast ride you'll enjoy as you pedal on toward the horizon.

The Jamis Beatnik is a stripped-down, go fast rig for the urban jungle. It's built on a steel frame to handle anything the city has to throw at you and has brakes and flip-flop hub just in case. Everything you need to survive on pedals on the street. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Every Jamis youth bike uses size-specific items like grips, saddles and cranks that enhance comfort and control by providing the best possible bike. We focus on designing frames with low stand-over to take much of the awkwardness out of getting on board and dismounting after. We trim as much weight as we can with lightweight aluminum frames on many of the youth models and use aluminum parts where possible (the limiting factor here is working within a youth bike appropriate price point) to work towards that make-it-as-light-as-possible goal. The additional benefit of this spec-as-much-alloy-as-possible design bias is that the product will hold up in the elements significantly better (with a much slower and lower oxidation rate) than other kids bikes built with more steel parts. We know because we have kids too and their Jamis bikes are often left outside for much of the year. We’re amazed at how good these bikes look 3, 5, and even 7 years later.

The Capri 2.4's swooping frame design has a purpose other than great looks: with 24” wheels this bike offers a low standover and low center of gravity for stable, secure riding and control. Jamis increased the wheelbase length over their 20-inch mountain bike to offer even greater stability, security, and comfort. A seven-speed drivetrain with Shimano's Revoshift twist shifters is easy to learn how to shift and master and is enough gearing to get around the neighborhood comfortably. Just one chainring in front simplifies shifting, too. There's a full-wrap chainguard to keep the chain in place and clothes and legs out of the chain's way, and Jamis pedals offer a non-slip insert that keeps feet and shoes in full contact even when wet for safe and secure pedaling. Every Capri comes equipped with a kickstand to protect the bike from the typical dump-n-run parking damage— prevention that makes for a much happier new bike owner!

Every Jamis youth bike uses size-specific items like grips, saddles and cranks that enhance comfort and control by providing the best possible bike fit. The lightweight and durable aluminum Capri 2.0 frame is not only easier to pedal than steel, it's much more rust-resistant, too—a point worth noting since kids bikes are often left outside in the weather. The 6-speed Shimano shifting offers lots of options for riding up and over hills with big smiles all the way. Capri's extra-plush, broad-based saddle features a suede-like brushed vinyl top that's grippy and keeps young riders from sliding around unsafely on the saddle top. A 60 degree hi-rise stem with 90mm extension and 150mm extra-long quill offers plenty of up or down adjustment range to put those up-swept riser bars in just the right position. Jamis' soft and comfortable foam grips feature a smooth vinyl cover that is embossed and stitched to match the saddle and decal theme. And, the pedals offer a non-slip insert that keeps feet and shoes in full contact, even when wet, for safe and secure pedaling.

Every Capri comes equipped with a kickstand so parking doesn’t result in gouges or scratches and an unhappy new bike owner.

The Explorer has been one of Jamis' best-selling bikes ever since its introduction in 1982. Originally designed as a mountain bike, the Explorer has since evolved into a very practical and very comfortable sport comfort bike. The Explorer's aluminum frame feels lightweight and nimble, and the long angle-adjustable stem and 80mm rise handlebars offer an upright riding position that's easy on neck and wrists. The 21-speed Shimano twist-shifting drivetrain with Altus front derailleur and 14-34 Mega-Range freewheel make hill climbing easy. And, Tektro's CL530 brake levers offer slip-resistant, shock-absorbing inserts on the finger contact points for more secure, comfortable braking that enhances control, even on hills.

The Jamis Hot Rod's frame design offers plenty of stand-over clearance for the youngest of new cyclists. It features real ball-bearing (not plastic bushing) wheels with 16 spokes that will roll smoothly and hold up to lots of use. The crank and headset on the Hot Rod also offer full ball-bearing construction, so the 'lil speedster can pedal and turn comfortably and securely. Our full-length and full chainring-wrap chainguard keep clothes and legs cleanly and safely out of the way of the chain, while a set of fenders not only keep puddle spray off the bike AND the rider, they also help to keep feet and hands away from spinning wheels. Those wide 2.125" tires offer a large contact patch for stability and control. And, they're pneumatic, not rock-solid, so they can be filled with just the right amount of air to provide a comfortable ride full of fun. There's a handlebar safety pad and a safety bell which little tykes love to ring to let others know they're coming through!

Jamis' Hudson Sport features a nimble-handling aluminum frame that's perfect for cruising the neighborhood with the family. An upright, back-friendly riding position ensures comfort on every ride and the low top tube makes it easy to put a foot down while stopped. When it's time to get started again, the 7-speed Shimano drivetrain gets you up to speed in no time and offers gears for any terrain. Other plush features include a comfortable Jamis saddle, riser handlebars and a Slidepad braking system, which allows both brakes to engage by pulling a single lever.

The Jamis Laser's mini MX-Moto design offers plenty of standover clearance for young riders and a head-turning, two-tone paint finish that will be the talk of the neighborhood. The over-sized blades and leading axle dropout of the Laser fork assure it will be up to the task of getting there and back safely. The Laser's full-length and full ring-wrap chainguard keep clothes and legs cleanly and safely out of the way of the chain. Every 16-inch Laser offers stabilizing training wheels to assist the young rider in learning how to pedal, steer, and balance a bike for the first time. The training wheel support struts attach securely both to the rear hub axle and the frame itself so that the training wheels don’t rotate out of plane with the rear wheel, preventing tips or spills.

The lightweight and durable aluminum Jamis Laser frame is easier to pedal than steel, giving young riders the confidence to keep up with mom or dad. The 20-inch Laser actually offers two types of brakes: a standard rear coaster brake, which most youngsters are familiar with, and a rear V-brake which many are not. Having the rear coaster brake as a back-up allows youngsters to get used to hand-braking without going cold-turkey on the coaster brake they are comfortable with. The alloy rims are anodized black to provide even greater corrosion and rust resistance than the alloy already possesses, and the rim sidewalls are ground to provide a smooth braking surface for the rear V-brake. Jamis builds the Laser 2.0 wheels with 36 spokes in a 3-cross lacing pattern for strength and durability, and mounts knobby BMX tires that bite in the dirt but with a rounded profile that rolls smoothly on neighborhood streets and driveways. Every Laser 2.0 offers a kickstand for parking that pride and joy and a bell to announce that the Laser has arrived.

The custom geometry is designed to deliver a comfortable ride loaded down for a picnic in the park or for a quick ride to the corner store. With a Shimano Deore 1x10-speed drivetrain, you’ve got a wide range of gears to get you up and down hills, and the power of Shimano hydraulic disc brakes for total confidence in urban riding situations. 650B x 47mm WTB tires wrapped around WTB ST i23 rims make this bike ready to go just about anywhere, and thru-axles front and rear stiffen up the power transfer and steering response to make the Sequel extra athletic with a casual vibe. Go where you want and have a blast getting there.

With a lightweight and durable aluminum frame, the Jamis Starlite is an easy-pedaling kids bike that inspires fun and confidence on every ride. The swooping frame design has a purpose other than great looks: with 20-inch wheels this bike offers a low standover and low center of gravity for stable, secure riding and control. The silver anodized wheels are durable, lightweight, and easy to pedal, and built with 36 spokes in a 3-cross lacing pattern for extra strength to keep up with the rough-and-tumble nature of childhood.

Finally, a rear coaster brake plus an additional rear hand brake work together to as your child progresses, and a full-coverage chainguard keeps shoe laces and clothing out of harm's way.

In a race against the clock there is no hiding. You need every aerodynamic advantage in a time trial or triathlon—both races where the elements can be unpredictable and, at times, brutal. Headwinds, crosswinds, even tailwinds all favor a machine which can knife through the air as quickly as possibly yet ride and handle like a real bike when called upon. The race-proven UCI legal T2X is the new standard of TT/Tri fast.
