Jamis Dakar XC Comp (2011)

 The Jamis Dakar XC Comp 2011 model is the upgraded version of the more basic XC Sport, the entry-level Dakar model. The Comp and Sport both have lower price points than the XCR lineup, which is intended more for competitive racing.

The Comp is more of a recreational model, at a more affordable price. It is geared for light trail riding and cross-country use, and has a dual suspension with low travel both front and back. These are a RockShox Tora and RockShox Ario, front and back. The component set is a mixed group using SRAM X7 and X9 parts in the drivetrain, and there are Avid Elixir 3 hydraulic disc brakes and levers on the front and back. Ritchey bars, stem, and seatpost complement the Jamis 7005 aluminum frame. This bike has a wheelset made of Mavic XM rims, Deore disc hubs, and Geax Mezcal tires.
