JAMIS DAKAR XC SPORT
The Dakar XC series proves that entry-level doesn't have to mean beginner grade. Our most affordable full-suspension bikes aren't dumbed-down single-pivot designs, but real multi-link chassis that offer all the benefits of near-vertical wheel travel, suspension that remains supple and active under power and braking, and a solidly planted rear footprint when the going gets steep and you've gotta throw the power down.
Our tried-and-true mp2 suspension — already more than a cut above the average — gets a rework for 2011, with asymmetric chainstays for enhanced rear end stiffness, giving you better power transfer and traction, and wicked-crisp handling through bermed turns and g-outs.
