Jamis Bikes Features

Many people claim Jamis Bikes offer great value for money, unlike their fellow manufacturers, who charge a overcharge for their badge. Jamis are in a different league in their reliable and conservative designs and their use of components without charging over the going rate. Infact, Jamis Bikes are one of the most affordable on the market compared to others such as Specialized and Trek.

The frames are generally well designed and the components used reflect the price paid for the bike. They are generally a good buy, with more bang-for-the-buck than competitor brands like Trek and Specialized. The low-end frames of all three companies are made in the Far East.

Quality and features tend to be pretty competitive in the $300-500 range, and differences between bike brands are often less important than the differences between the places that sell them.

Concluding Comments on Jamis Bikes
