2026 Jamis Renegade S3
Couldn't load pickup availability
Sold Out. 2027 Inventory will begin coming in July.
The steel models of Jamis' Renegade series are widely reviewed as some of the best sub $3,000 gravel bikes made and the S3 is the best selling of the three.
Probably because the S3 is the least expensive that is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes which are a huge performance upgrade over mechanic disc brakes.
The Reynolds 520 chromoly steel frame when matched with it's full carbon fiber fork offers a noticeably smoother and more shock absorbing ride - both on road and off - than similarly priced aluminum frame gravel bikes.
The 2026 Renegade S3 is equipped with Shimano's new 1 x 10 speed Shimano CUES components which are more durable and capable off-road than their road bike specific predecessors were.
The biggest issue with the steel Jamis Renegades is trying to find one, they sell out in most models and sizes year after year by early summer.
