Jamis Renegade S4 LTD

Since its inception in 2014, the Jamis Renegade has been defining versatility in modern adventure bikes. It’s not easy improving on something that’s capable of, well, just about everything, but our NEW Renegade platform is simply exceptional. We’ve succeeded in preserving the all-important DNA of our original Renegade while also adding more tire clearance, adjustability, and compliance.

Read on to understand Jamis’ approach to adventure frame design and how it keeps the Renegade’s superior ride quality consistent regardless of tire choice and frame size, on-road or off.

VERSATILITY
Imagine a bike that could be a morning commuter, an after-work group ride toy, and a 300-mile weekend expedition companion. It’s right here. With over 21 fork and frame mounts, you’ve got the option to mount fenders, a bento box, front and rear thru-axle carriers, and multiple water bottles on the main triangle or fork legs. Add clearance for 700 x 50mm and 650 x 2.00”, and it’s clear the Renegade series is equipped to accommodate any adventure.

Renegades are designed to accommodate up to a 700c x 50mm tire without fenders or 30mm with fenders.

DESIGNED FOR ADVENTURE
Adventure Frame Design – We redesigned the new Renegade from the ground up to be the ultimate modern-day gravel bike. From a frame design perspective, our goal was to create a well-balanced, responsive handling bike with a compliant ride feel. How did we do this? We paired a stretched top-tube with a slightly shorter stem, while also lowering the bottom bracket and lengthening the wheelbase to put the rider more “in” the bike. Combine these improvements with our Size-Specific Design (SSD) philosophy and what we’ve got is a fantastically capable platform. The new Renegade is fast, fun, and will take you anywhere you dare to go.

Adventure Fork Design – Having the ability to adjust handling characteristics is key for a platform as versatile as Renegade. Our new fork design features flip chips that allow adjustment between 50mm and 55mm offset. The upper position (50mm) allows for increased stability at higher speeds and is the ideal setting for gravel riders. The lower position (55mm) provides more responsive steering, which is ideal for an all-road setup.
