You can’t touch a hardtail for pure pedaling efficiency, and under a good rider on a smooth course it can be a pretty tough combination. This is grassroots racing. Offroad speed simplified. And our Dakotas are possibly the very best available.

A triple-butted Kinesis aluminum frame with our signature geometry provides the foundation for the Dakota series, with a lightweight carbon monostay for the Elite and Comp that reduces weight and takes the sting out of sharp-edged stutters and the occasional hard landing. It’s a great sprinting platform, with short chainstays that lend you climbing traction and immediate pedal response for getting over the steeps.

The Dakota Comp Femme receives the additional benefit of female-specific frame geometry, and like the rest of the Dakota line (make that: like the rest of the JAMIS line) gets size-specific parts like handlebars, stems and cranks for each frame size so you’re assured the most comfortable and efficient position.

Experience the thrill of a well-carved turn, the surging power of a quick out-of-the-saddle effort, and you’ll see just what a difference a good frame and geometry can make. And that difference is what we’re all about.
