DESCRIPTION If there’s one thing Tom knows, it’s dirt. When he first designed the Ultra he knew it would appeal to riders who demand specific ride characteristics and dirt slaying only he could deliver- and that was in the 1980s! Good design withstands the test of time, and the latest iteration of the Ultra is a prime example. Like its predecessor from 30 years prior, the new Ultra occupies a unique ride space from cross-country riders looking to get rowdy and go big to enduro riders lusting for some all-mountain shredding. Designed around a 120mm travel fork and super stable Boost 148 spacing, most of the fun is in the wheels. Designed to accommodate 29" or 27.5" wheels, the Ultra is highly versatile. Throw on some 29s for some trail-smashing XC riding, or saddle up some 27.5+ for some serious no-holds-barred shredding. The Ultra is a rough and rugged trail master that doesn’t know when to quit. Ritchey Ultra Frame / Steel MTB Hardtail Constructed from Ritchey Logic Tubing Optimized for 120mm suspension travel Ultra-light Forged and machined tapered head tube Integrated WCS 1.5” tapered Drop-in Headset included Fits up to 27.5”x2.8” or 29”x2.4” tires 148 x 12mm rear end with replaceable stainless steel derailleur hanger Designed to accommodate 1X or 2X chainwheels Color: honey mustard Weight: 2.57kg/5.67lbs (L/19”)

RKT 9 RDO FRAME

PUSHING THE BOUNDS OF "ENTRY LEVEL" These may be the most affordable 29'ers in our stable, but there's nothing entry-level about the performance of these bikes. We've taken all new frame styling and married it to our proven XC geometry. Best-in-class performance and big hoops doesn't have to mean big bucks, and the Durangos prove it. FRAME DESIGN DETAILS The Durango frame features a sloping top tube that optimizes stand-over clearance while at the same time adding great looks. The oversized down tube and head tube also offer plenty of strength, stiffness, and fork crown clearance. - 6061 aluminum main tubes - SR Suntour XCT 30 HLO 29", coil spring, hydraulic speed lock-out adjust, external preload adjustor - Alex TD26 29" rims, 32H, alloy disc hubs - MicroSHIFT Advent M6195M 9-speed - Sealed cartridge Bottom Bracket - Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes - Jamis XC alloy handlebar and stem - Jamis ATB Sport Saddle

READY FOR THE TRAIL Building great recreational-level bikes that ride much like our high-end bikes is a passion at Jamis. No bikes showcase our commitment to do just that better than these. The Helix chassis emphasizes all-day performance with quick, but not overly twitchy handling attributes. Make no mistake though, if you want to throw down they're more than able to keep up. BUILT TO LAST Because it's much easier and much less expensive to replace a derailleur hanger than it is to repair or replace a frame, every Helix frame offers a replaceable derailleur hanger designed to yield in a crash before the frame does. - 6061 aluminum frame - SR Suntour XCE 28 DS 27.5", coil spring, external preload adjustor - Alex TD26 27.5" rims, 32H, alloy disc hubs - Shimano, 8-speed drivetrain - Sealed cartridge bottom bracket - Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes - Jamis XC alloy handlebar & stem - Jamis ATB Sport saddle

TRUE ALL-AROUNDER Designed with geometry like our Komodo, the Highpoint is ready to tackle all aspects of trail riding. With a 5" travel fork with thru-axle and tubeless rims, the Highpoint performs as a true all-arounder. It's a fact: larger wheels roll over obstacles more easily than smaller wheels. Stuff like rocks, logs, and stutter bumps. In other words, they'll roll easier and faster on the trails you ride. FRAME MATERIALS Highpoint features lightweight and strong triple-butted 6061 series aluminum tubing, featuring over-sized & tapered tubing for increased frame stiffness. - 6061 triple-butted aluminum - Rock Shox Judy Silver TK 29", Solo Air compression, external rebound, Turn Key lockout, 120mm travel - WTB STX i23 TCS tubeless 29" rims, 32H, alloy disc hubs - Shimano Deore Shadow Plus rear, 11-speed - Shimano Deore, 32T Crank - Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes - Jamis XC alloy handlebar and stem - Selle Royal Vivo Saddle

SIMPLY AGGRESSIVE Why do so many riders love hardtails? Simplicity. Komodo gets right to the point. No rear suspension. One chainring. A super burly aluminum hardtail capable of just about any kind of riding or trail. BUILT TO PARTY Komodo's rear end is solid, the way an aggressive hardtail should be. A 12mm thru-axle and robust chainstays promote torsional rigidity, which will you'll no doubt notice when whipping through corners or rallying through rock sections. - Triple-butted 6061 aluminum - Rock Shox 35 Silver TK 29", Solo Air, Turn Key lockout, external rebound - Stan's No Tubes Flow D 29" rims, Shimano MT410 hubs - Shimano Deore, 12-speed - Race Face Ride, 32T Crank - Shimano MT420 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes - Race Face Ride Handlebar & Stem - KS Rage Dropper, Southpaw remote

THREE VARIABLE OPTIMIZED. 1. INSTANT CENTER With the 3VO system's unique virtual pivot characteristics, we're able to combine the efficiency of a hardtail with the proper support of precisely-controlled active suspension. This is how every full-suspension bike should ride. 2. AXLE PATH A rear wheel that stays planted while charging through rough terrain is crucial to providing an intimate connection with the trail. 3VO's initial rearward axle path allows the bike to be supple on small bumps and square edge hits while its tightly tuned relationship with the system's leverage ratio keeps the suspension highly reactive even while pedaling. 3. LEVERAGE RATIO Imagine having two bikes in one, that's essentially what we've got with 3VO. The tuned multi-phase leverage ratio with initial rising rate provides an unparalleled pedaling platform while remaining keenly adept at sustaining repeated bumps without holdup. Up to just beyond the sag point, the system employs a slight rising rate. Some designs claim an initial falling rate with high initial leverage improves sensitivity and responsiveness, but these claims seem more driven by a need to market a deficiency than by any genuine benefit. Why? Because up until the sag point of the bike, sensitivity and responsiveness are primarily felt when the suspension is able to extend, not compress. - Dyad Pro High Modulus Carbon Fiber - 130mm travel 3VO suspension - Enduro Max sealed bearing pivots - Fox Float DPS Performance Series EVOL shock, 3-position compression - Fox 34 Performance Series Float 29”, 3-position adjust compression & lock-out - Stans Flow S1 29” tubeless wheels - Shimano SLX, 12-speed - Shimano SLX 4-piston brakes

THE TRAILS ARE CALLING Building great recreational-level bikes that ride much like our high-end bikes is a passion at Jamis. No bikes showcase our commitment to do just that better than these. The Trail X chassis emphasizes all-day performance with quick, but not overly twitchy handling attributes. Make no mistake though, if you want to throw down they're more than able to keep up. FRAME MATERIALS Trail X features lightweight and strong 6061 series aluminum tubing, featuring over-sized & tapered tubing for increased frame stiffness. - 6061 aluminum frame - SR Suntour XCT 30 HLO 27.5", coil spring, hydraulic speed lock out adjust, external preload adjustor - Alex TD26 27.5" rims, 32H, alloy disc hubs - microSHIFT Advent 9-speed drivetrain - Sealed cartridge bottom bracket - Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes - Jamis XC alloy handlebar & stem - Jamis ATB Sport saddle

Progressive but racy, ZFS-5 was built for today's evolving XCO courses - it has to pedal well and handle quickly, but also take on the chunks, jumps, and drops littering the circuit. ZFS-5's 67.8-degree head tube angle delivers the precision required for elbow-to-elbow hole shot sprints, and the confidence to let off the brakes when the track gets rough. And in 120mm-outfitting, the 66.6-degree head angle will give you the extra confidence to push harder and ride faster, even when the trail gets a bit...hellish. - Flat Bars, Suspension, Cervelo? World Cup season is here, and we're all in. The Z bikes—the ZHT-5 and the ZFS-5, our hardtail, and full-suspension, respectively—made their race debut at the Nove Mesto World Cup. The pilots? World Cup veteran and former Dutch National XCO Champion Milan Vader alongside reigning Cyclocross World Champion Fem van Empel. - Call It A Comeback Milan Vader is a veteran XC racer and former Dutch National Champion. He was set to race the Z bikes in 2022, but a life-changing crash at Itzulia Basque Country meant his priorities were re-learning to walk and ride. He's recovered phenomenally well and much faster than the doctors expected and will be racing the entire World Cup circuit this year. - Double Dutch Fem van Empel is one of Team Jumbo-Visma's most recent signings, and she's already made the rainbow connection. Following a decisive World Cyclocross Championships win in Hoogerheide, she traded knobbies for slicks this Spring and has now set her sights on improving her best-ever World Cup results and landing on the podium.
