Jamis Renegade S2 (2024)

Our best non-carbon gravel bike.  The frame is built with Reynold's acclaimed 631 Air-Hardened chromoly steel tubing, a huge step up in ride quality from any aluminum gravel frame. The drivetrain matches Shimano's GRX 600 11 speed shifters and derailleurs with a Praxis Alba 40 tooth chainring 1x crankset and an 11-42 cassette in rear. The resulting lowest gear is less than a 1-1 ratio, which is low. You can climb almost anything even though it has a simple drivetrain setup. The wheels are Boyd Cycling's GLV Tubeless Ready gravel bike specific wheelset featuring sealed cartridge bearing hubs are hand-built in South Carolina. This frame, with these parts, and these wheels, at this price is a... steal.
