Last year, Jamis gave their Dakota Elite & Comp a brand new Kinesis Superlight main tubes/carbon fiber seatstay chassis and won the respect of serious XC riders the world over. That frame yielded incredible out-of-the saddle acceleration with precise tracking over trail obstacles and through fast corners. Powering up climbs was a cinch, you could feel those carbon stays harnessing that power while letting the rear wheel move just enough to maintain traction. That’s the result of decades of careful geometry refinement coupled with intelligent material selection and technology application, what we do best. This year, Jamis turned their attention to improving what was already winning spec and the results, as you peruse the details, should speak for themselves. The 2007 Jamis Dakota is a perfect black & white patrol bike that would provide you a comfortable yet durable bike for use on the street. The Dakota features the following components:
Frame: Lightweight, triple-butted, Kinesis Superlight frame with semi-integrated head tube, gussetted down tube, S-bend monostay & replaceable derailleur hanger. The Reverse Arch design offers greater torsional stiffness than standard arch-in-front designs yielding a higher stiffness to weight ratio & enhanced steering control & tracking accuracy. Easton EA30 cockpit parts feature Easton's proprietary aluminum taper wall technology, a cold working process that produces multiple tapers to eliminate stress points & dissipate impact energy evenly.
Fork: Manitou Sliver Super features 28.6mm alloy stanchions, 100mm of coil sprung/TPC damped suspension with lockout, external preload & rebound damping adjustable
Drivetrain: Shimano 27-speed drivetrain features Deore RapidFire Plus SL shifters, Deore LX rear derailleur and Deore crankset.
Brakeset: Hayes Sole hydraulic disc brakes with V6 rotors offer more power, better feel, require less maintenance, and are often lighter than cable-actuated disc brakes.
Wheelset: WTB Speed Disc rims, 32H, with Shimano M475 disc hubs, WTB 14g stainess steel spokes. The spoke bed eyelets featured on the WTB Speed Disc double wall rims are critical for rim longevity & durability. Disc brake torque will twist the hub, increasing the load on the nipples in the spoke bed. The addition of eyelet inserts in the rim prevents nipples from tearing through the spoke bed.
