Jamis: Ventura 1

Jamis: Ventura Sport

Jamis' Ventura Sport is a road bike from Jamis that features a 6061 aluminum frame with comfortable geometry for longer rides whether competitive or recreational.

A WINNING BIKE FOR EVERYONE

Jamis' Ventura Series bikes have won Bicycling’s coveted Editor’s Choice award numerous times. Which is why they offer the Race, Comp and Sport in both male and female specific packages.

SIZE SPECIFIC FRAME DESIGN

Size Specific Design (SSD) is the Jamis design philosophy and technique used to create the best possible riding bike for each size rider. Rather than limiting frame size variations to just different length top, seat and head tubes lengths, they take an all-inclusive look at each frame’s total configuration. Every SSD frame will also feature size-specific BB drop, rear center, fork offset/trail and SST technology.

VERSATILE PERFORMANCE GEOMETRY

For a greater range of handlebar and rider positions, they’ve fitted the Ventura series frames with taller head tubes. As well as a slightly longer wheelbase and relaxed head tube angle that results in confident, steering/handling.

ECO CARBON FORK

ECO stands for Enhanced Compliance Offset. The ECO fork blades are swept forward a few millimeters to provide vertical compliance for a more comfortable and controlled ride without any compromise to lateral stiffness, thanks to the reinforcing rib on the inside of the fork legs.

FULL CARBON MONOCOQUE FORKS

Manufactured by the same team that produces their Xenith Endura frames, the carbon forks on their Ventura Race and Comp models are formed as true monocoque forks, in one continuous unit (steerer/crown/blades) for optimal strength and performance. Jamis' competitors often use heavier 3-piece bonded carbon/alloy forks in this price range.

TAPERED HEAD TUBE AND STEERER

By enlarging the bottom bearing of the head tube from 1 1/8” to 1.5”, not only are head tube stiffness and steering precision increased, but we have sufficient room in the crown to produce a truly hollow fork from the dropout, up through the crown and steer tube, which yields exceptional compaction quality for increased strength and reduced weight.

The Ventura Sport is also available in a ladies model.
