Jamis Komodo A1 27.5+

If you thrive on connection to the trail, if you live for the flow of a screaming descent and love the responsiveness of a hardtail, Jamis’ Komodo is for you. This trail-eating hardtail boasts a slack head angle and a 120mm RockShox Recon suspension fork for high-speed handling, in addition to robust frame tubes and thru-axles for big-landing durability. And, 2.8-inch tires grant you fistfuls of traction, stability, and ultra-smooth roll-over, all without the added weight and complexity of dual suspension. Nowhere on the trail is off-limits with Shimano’s XT wide-range 1x11 drivetrain, packing plenty of gears to get you where you want to go. And, Shimano's MT500 hydraulic brakes provide outstanding stopping power, so you can hit it hard on the downhills and know your butt is covered.
