Building the perfect bike is an impossible goal, but it’s the only one that’s worthwhile. In fact , we’ve been at it most of our lives. CEO and President Carine Joannou has been successfully leading and directing G. Joannou Cycle, our parent company, since taking over from her father in 1981.
We knew the Icon was a winner when we introduced it last year, and an Editor’s Choice award from Bicycling Magazine against some pretty stiff competition from the likes of Cannondale and Specialized proved it. It’s not too hard to figure out why. With an alloy frame that is just as light as our carbon fiber Xenith Comp and a frame geo inspired by our peleton-proven Xenith SL, the Icon sprints like a missile with a “connected” road feel that inspires confidence.
This is the bike that teed it up and kicked it off way back in 2009. After all the nay-saying and “it’s not really exactly between 26 and 29″, the world is now clearly ready (finally) to fully embrace 650B. And there’s no better place to start the group hug than on the rig that believed from the beginning and now has over 5 years of PD and real-world riding and refinement to ensure it IS Best in Class. Expanded in 2014 to include four versions: 2 carbon fiber and 2 aluminum. What are you waiting for? See you at the races.
The ‘tweener wheel size has been in our stable for five years already, while most of the other brands are just jumping on board. Being first out of the gate is an advantage for a reason: it’s called the lead. 650b believers from the beginning, we don’t have to play catch-up. We can use our five-year, first-hand, real-world experience to refine and perfect. And that’s exactly what we did for 2014. With ten new models in carbon fiber, aluminum and Reynolds steel, including our most affordable version ever — the Trail X650.
“As good as it gets” is never good enough at Jamis. And our all-new, totally redesigned Xenith proves it. The Xenith was already a multiple awards-winning, race-vanquishing powerhouse that many on Jamis/Hagens Berman p/b Sutter Home didn’t want us to tamper with. But our engineers and designers weren’t content with today’s accolades and podiums when tomorrow’s beckoned. The development effort on this bike wasn’t just about tweaking what we had; it was about starting from scratch to create what we could. The result? A radically new frame and fork design and wholly new manufacturing process that has delivered the lightest, stiffest, most aero road bike we’ve ever produced.
