Jamis bicycles: an overview of the range

For several years in a row, Jamis from the United States is rightfully considered the best manufacturer on the bicycle market. It has established itself as a reliable, respected brand among all fans of this type of transport - from ordinary people to true connoisseurs and professionals.

The first bicycles appeared in the 19th century, since then they have changed a lot. Over time, different variations of this type of transport have appeared. Some varieties have taken root and still exist, while others have remained in history just links in the evolutionary chain of bicycles.

A versatile bike. On it, you can plow with equal success both the vastness of off-road and country roads, and narrow and busy city streets. Bicycles of this class have a reinforced structure: the rods of the output of the steering mechanism, frame, seat mountings, rims and kerchiefs have increased strength... Strengthening these parts significantly increases the stability of the device, and, therefore, the ride comfort.

Such bikes have a significantly increased distance between the bike carriage and the road, which makes it possible to overcome even the deepest irregularities or large stones without serious harm to the main systems of the vehicle. In mountain bikes, or mountain bikes, the wheels are noticeably widened, such a detail has an important functional solution - this allows you to ride carefree on different surfaces, such as grass, clay, mud, gravel, pebbles.

This segment of bicycles is aimed at fans of ultra-fast riders. Such bikes are preferred by athletes, they are used in cycling competitions.To increase their performance, they are made as easy as possible using ultra-light alloys of aluminum and other metals. Because of this, the shock resistance of the device is seriously affected. The average operational life of a road bike is about two to three years of intensive use.

This type of bike is not suitable for everyone, as it has a very low handlebar position and a high seat. This is due to an attempt to reduce body volume during movement to minimize air resistance.

This handy device can replace public transport or a car. This type of bike takes not its speed or cross-country ability, but a wide range of functionality. Urban bicycles are specially designed for maximum user comfort. These bikes have additional shock absorbers installed right next to the brakes to ensure a smooth ride. The seat itself is more ergonomic and the handlebars are embossed for rider comfort.

The weight of city bicycles is average, some models have a "folding" function, thanks to which this vehicle is more convenient to store, since it takes up less space... When it comes to agility, urban models are ahead of the rest. Their typical rudder arrangement helps to change direction in time while driving. This makes the bike safer for both the cyclist and other road users.

The lineup includes many models for different categories of consumers. Let's consider the most popular models.

The most requested model in the entire Jamis line. This is a mid-range mountain bike class. The 24-inch frame is installed here, and like most of the accessories, it is made of reinforced stainless steel. The steering system provides maximum control of movement at high speeds or on difficult road sections. The only complaint is the Shimano Acera transmission, which, due to fragile materials, becomes completely unusable within a few months after active use.

The Trail X has been designed with the possibility of full customization. Thanks to this, you can customize the bike to your personal needs by changing the seat, wheels, pedals, fenders, steering section. The maximum acceleration speed on Trail X is around 15-17 km / h off-road. Another plus can be considered a fork with hydraulic protection and primary load regulators, as well as a hydraulic gear regulator, which significantly increases ride comfort and improves handling.

Distinguished representative of the classic Jamis models. The bike is mountain-focused, and the sturdy aluminum frame only contributes to this. The line includes bikes with wheel diameters of 20, 26, 29 inches. RST attachments provide increased reliability in use. The Durango model has a special fork, which is a double shock-absorbing device with vibration isolation of the steering wheel.

Because of this, its shaking while driving, even on the most neglected off-road, is not felt. Hydraulic braking system from Shimano Acera, but of higher quality than the previous model. The bike weighs 25 kg and accelerates to 17 km / h, has an ergonomic design.

A sports bike is designed for long rides, and this entails a number of features: a wide padded seat, a high handlebar, full adjustment of all parts of the device, wide pedals and thin frames. The main highlight of the bike is its high carrying capacity thanks to the reinforced trunk, which is made mainly of steel, titanium and aluminum. On the trunk and the front steering rack, special mounts are installed, with which you can attach additional baskets, seats and other elements. The trunk is designed for loads up to 100-120 kg.

Jemis offers a wide range of children's bicycles. Below are the best models for ages 4-10.

The bike is designed specifically for children who are just learning to balance, pedal and turn. The weight of the bike is 15 kg, it is made of an aluminum alloy coated with paint and a special anti-corrosion solution. The steering wheel is equipped so that it is convenient for children to hold on to it, and the elements of the swivel mechanism are equipped with additional connections, which adds the ability to adjust the height of the steering wheel and adjust individually to the needs of each child.

For even greater safety, the bike was equipped with plastic protective partitions near the pedals to keep the chain from getting into it from the child's feet and debris. The bike comes with two additional training wheels.

The bike is from a high price category. Suitable for those who have already mastered riding skills. It has a number of features: 20-inch wheels, the center of gravity is moved lower to stabilize the bike while riding. The wheelbase has been extended by 35 inches to provide even greater comfort, safety and better handling. The wheels are as light as possible and require less energy when driving.

This effect is due to the ultra-light rust-resistant alloy. The Starlite wheels themselves have 36 spokes in a triple lacing with titanium rims. All this helps to multiply the strength of the wheels themselves.

The choice of a bike must be approached with the utmost responsibility - not only the quality of the ride, but also your life depends on it. By following the three most important, but simple rules, you will protect yourself from mistakes.

• Before going to the store, firmly decide for what specific purposes you will use the bike. Its variety depends on this, which plays a significant role in operation.
• When purchasing, carefully check the condition of the brake system. It is better to choose a variation of V-brakes or disc brakes according to the principle: if you want an inexpensive bike, then V-brake is the best choice, but if the budget allows, then it is better to stay on disc brakes.
• Try to find the right size for your bike. This can be done according to a special table of sizes.
