Ask us about 650b mountain bikes. Do it when you aren’t in a hurry. Everybody in the crew is a big fan of this “in-between” wheel size. 650b bikes have been slowly gaining in popularity, and this bike from Jamis is proof that the mainstream is starting to pay attention. The Dakar has a fully suspended hydroformed aluminum frame with 130mm of travel to absorb hits big and small.
We’re bending the rules on the featured product this week, as we haven’t yet added one of these bump-smoothers to the demo fleet just yet. If you want to see it before we give it back to Jamis, you will have to join us at the Fat Tire Festival this weekend. We’ll let you take it out on the rock and root infested trails at Hamilton Creek. When you give it back (if you give it back) you’ll wonder where all the rocks and roots went.
