Description: (from jamisbikes.com)
New XAM MP3 multi-link suspension design features 5.25" rear wheel travel with low (2.33) wheel travel to shock stroke ratio
Bell crank down tube pivot point reduces rear triangle size for less weight & greater lateral/torsional stiffness rigidity
Frame features Kinesium tubing, extended seat tube with "rifle" top tube for seat tube support & lowered standover
Near vertical axle path,
fully-active 133mm rear wheel travel, Fox DHX 3.0 rear shock with position sensitive boost valve, factory set Propedal, external rebound adjustment
Constant seatstay & bell crank length on all frame sizes assures ride characteristics are the same regardless of frame size
Fox's new 32 chassis features increased crown/stanchion overlap & Quad tapered lower legs to optimize strength & stiffness while driving weight out
Their new dropout design offers a stronger & more secure fork/wheel/brake itegration & interface
Hayes HFX9 dual piston hydraulic disc brakes are the benchmark for power, reliability and modulation
Shimano Deore LX Hollowtech II crankset features a hollow forging for lighter weight with integrated BB increased riigidity & pedaling efficiency
Shimano new Deore XT rear derailleur features a wide link design for greater rigidity & more precise shifting (and is a hi-normal reutrn spring design)
Shimano new Deore LX Rapidfire shifters offer a "2-way" release, allowing the upper lever to be pulled with the forefinger or pushed with the thumb depending upon rider preference
Easton VICE cockpit parts are tough enough for the North Shore; solid, bomp-proof design with taper wall technology
WTB Pure V Race saddle features a padded, dropped nose design allowing for steeper saddle angles, forward climbing position & gentler on/off transitions
