Jamis Dakar XAM II ’09: Ultimate Trail-TamerMountain trails vary from loose-over-hard fireroads to rock gardens that look more like Martian terrain to winding rut-ridden singletrack where your bike seems to point everywhere but straight. The XAM II feels at home in all those conditions–absolutely. It is, by its very design, an all-conditions bike falling somewhere between the all-mountain XC bikes and the tank-like downhill rigs. The wide Kenda 2.3 tires are like velcro to the ground it touches so loose-over-hard terrain might as well be asphalt. The teaming of Fox’s 36mm Talas and DHX 5.0 reduces rock gardens into mere pebble patches.
A 2009 Jamis Dakar XAM 2.0 is typically priced around $1,959 USD when new. Be sure to shop around for the best price, and also look to the used market for a great deal.
