Jamis Renegade S4

The least expensive steel frame model in Jamis' Renegade lineup is built with Reynold's 520 tubing, the gold standard is chromoly steel since the 1980s.\nThe steel frameset, matched with a full carbon fiber fork up front, offers a noticeably better ride quality than comparable aluminum bikes.\nThe Renegade S4 is outfitted with Sora components, Shimano's better recreational rider parts kit.\nIt’s a 9 speed group that's excellent for the money and does most of what the more expensive groups do.\nIt has mechanical disc brakes instead of hydraulic and weights a bit more, but it has been proven to be very reliable and in our experience needs the least tuneups and adjustments of any Shimano component group.\nHead to Head Comparison\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDrivetrain\n\n\nSpecialized Diverge E5\n$1,300\nClaris 2x8\n\n\n\nTrek Domane AL3\n$1,350\nSora 2x9\n\n\nJamis Renegade S4\n$1,399\nSora 2x9\n\n\nCannondale Topstone 3\n$1,500\nSora 2x9\n\n\n\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\n\nFrame\nReynolds 520 chromoly\n
