Many companies use proprietary components that make for good marketing - but harsh the ride and complicate the fit. Jamis, by contrast, makes fit and ride-quality their design focus. Every Renegade model - from aluminum to race ready carbon (or, our favorite, supple steel) - uses size specific geometry which ensures the bike will be the best balance of nimble and stable for riders of any height. Standover heights are kept low to improve confidence on the trail, and Jamis only uses industry standard handlebars and stems which allow the fit to be custom tailored to almost any rider. $1099 - $3999.
The Gestalt Standard series is the adventure bike for roadies. The riding position and double chainring should feel familiar to road riders, but the wider bars, extra tire clearance, and accessory mounts allow this bike to triple duty as a road bike, gravel bike, or even a sporty commuter! $999 - $1679.
The Gestalt X is the adventure bike for mountain bikers! X models are built with a longer-than-the-usual wheelbase, slack-like-your-mountain-bike head angle, low-slung frame, wide bars, short stem, big and chunky tires with room for up to 50mm on 700c or 54mm with a 650b wheelset. Is it a gravel bike? Is it a drop bar mountain bike? Is it a bikepacking bike? Yes to all of the above! Who cares about definitions and pigeonholes? $1549 - $2399.
Taking inspiration from the Gestalt X drop bar line, Marin made the DSX feel like an MTB that can still handle all those adventures that would normally demand a curly bar. Zippy aluminum frames, compliant forks, heaps of tire clearance, low standover, dropper post compatibility and a whole load of options for bags and fenders make the DSX one of the most versatile bikes we sell. $899 - $1599.
