Jamis Dakar XCR Comp
Cross Country Racer (X C R)
Cross Country Racers look for speed, agility and toughness. You need to go fast, to not wreck and to finish the race. The XCR Comp works in your favor on all accounts.
4″ of front and rear travel so you can keep your speed through the bumps and still be super efficient. Lightweight Kinesis tubing, so you can conserve your energy for going fast, not lugging around a bunch of weight. And solid components, so you get to keep on riding without thinking about how well it is all working together.
