Jamis Renegade S3

Review: www.roadbikeaction.com/renegade-s3 The steel models of Jamis' Renegade series are widely reviewed as some of the best sub $3,000 gravel bikes made and the S3 is the best selling of the three. Probably because the S3 is the least expensive that is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes, which are a huge performance upgrade over mechanic disc brakes. The S3's Reynolds 520 chromoly frame when matched with it's full carbon fiber fork offers a noticeably smoother and more shock absorbing ride - both on road and off - than similarly priced aluminum frame gravel bikes. The Renegade S3 is equipped with 2x10 speed Shimano GRX 400 gravel bike specific components, which are more durable and capable off-road than their road equivalents are. The only problem with the steel Jamis Renegades is trying to find one, they sell out in most sizes year after year.
