The Dakar XAM series is the all-mountain bike the other guys wish they built. And just as they think they’ve caught up, we’ve upped the level. Again.
We’ve added 20mm of rear wheel travel to the ’08 XAM, putting 150mm of precisely controlled mp3 suspension travel to work for you on drop-ins and big stuff, with a moderate 2.63:1 wheel travel-to-shock stroke ratio that enhances rear shock performance as well as rear shock longevity and durability. This is an active suspension design that’ll absorb big hits, stay plush over small bumps while you pedal, and won’t sap energy from you on the climbs. With oversize pivots, beefed-up bell crank, 10mm shock hardware and long-lasting bearings that keep it tracking straight day after day, ride after ride.
Relaxed angles (68.5 HT x 73 ST) and a generous top tube length deliver the perfect all mountain ride: stable at speed with excellent maneuverability and climbing capability.
The big-tubed Kinesium frame ties everything rigidly together, helping you get the most from the XAM 1.0’s Marzocchi TST2 fork’s 140-160 mm of adjustable travel, or the XAM 2.0’s Fox 36 TALAS RC2 adjustable-travel fork, both with 20mm thru-axles so you can stick a landing or rail a high-speed banked corner with confidence.
