Jamis Renegade Expert (2019)
The Expert is our best selling Renegade and the least expensive full carbon fiber model. Equipped with Shimano's latest 105 components including full hydraulic disc brakes.
The shock dampening carbon fiber frame with clearance for up to 40mm wide tires and thru-axle dropouts give it comfort and stability on a wide variety of terrain.
The Renegade is all about exploration and satisfies your gear-carrying needs with mounts for fenders, a rear rack, a low-rider front rack (or two cages for water bottles/ storage), and three front triangle water bottles, as well as providing a large front triangle for fitting a frame bag if you prefer the bikepacking way.
The excellent 700 x 36c Donnelly X-Plor tires mounted to WTB i23 STS tubeless-ready wheels are a great match for carrying you into the unknown, and full internal cabling means you can take your rig through the muck with confidence.
Finally the Ritchey bar and stem combo, Jamis carbon seatpost, and a Selle Royal Seta S1 saddle complete this build, giving you a super-versatile bike that's capable of being the only bike you may ever need.
