![]() ![]() A KS SuperNatureal dropper post finishes it off. The Defcon2 ($3,799) switches to a SRAM 1×11 GX1 group and Guide R brakes, Rockshox Pike RC fork and Monarch Plus RC3 shock, Loaded Precision X-Trail bar and stem and X30 wheels with the same rubber as the Defcon1. Loaded also handles the cockpit with their alloy AMX 35mm bar and stem. ![]() Axles are the standard 15mm thru front and 12×142 rear. The Defcon1 ($4,899)sits at the top and comes with a Fox FLOAT 36 fork, Shimano XT 1×11 drivetrain and brakes, KMC black chain, and KS LEV dropper post. Tires are Vittoria’s 27.5×2.3 Morsa (which snuck out at Sea Otter as a 2016 tire) and and 2.4 Goma, mounted to Loaded Precision X30 alloy wheels. The Defcon’s 6061AL tubes are air formed, which is done at high air temps and they say allows for more thorough manipulation than hydroforming. All of it pivots on Enduro Max sealed bearings packed with CRC Marine Grease to last a good long time. The result, when combined with the progressive design and low ratio, is a shock that’s better able to do its job keeping the rear tire glued to the ground and is less likely to destroy seals and bushings. On the front side of the rocker is custom 10mm shock hardware that reduces binding and other lateral forces on the shock. This let them shorten the stays, the lower of which are asymmetrical for better chain and tire clearance. The rocker arm (also called a Unitary Bell Crank Linkage) is one piece, which makes it stiff enough to negate any need for a seatstay bridge. The design took two years to finalize and included everything from paper scribbles through to 3D models and then multiple rideable test mules before it was ready for its debut… The design uses a low leverage ratio to minimize stress on the shock and keep it very supple over the small bumps without sacrificing pedaling efficiency. The 2016 Jamis Defcon is putting other bikes on high alert with it’s all-new 160mm travel platform.Īvailable in three trim levels, the bike puts brawny 27.5″ rubber from Vittoria underneath an updated version of their mp4 suspension system. ![]()
