Jamis DXT A2 (2021)

\nThis A2 model is a huge jump up in component quality from the lower priced dual sport bikes.\nThe drivetrain is Shimano Acera with RapidFire shifters instead of EZ-Fire, and the brakes are hydraulic discs instead of cable actuated mechanical.\nFor 2021, the DXT A2 features the a 2x compact crankset which simplifies front shifting to just two chainrings. A change needed long ago.\nThis is a fun to ride, reliable bike that can be ridden on rougher trails than fitness and comfort hybrids.\nHead to Head Comparison\n\n\n\n\nMSRP\nDrivetrain\nBrakes\n\n\nJamis DXT A2\n$700\n2x8\nHydraulic\n\n\nTrek Dual Sport 2\n$700\n3x8\n\nHydraulic\n\n\nCannondale CX 3\n$875\n2x8\n\nHydraulic\n\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\n\nFrame\n6061 aluminum\n\n\nFork\nSR/Suntour SF15-NVX\n\n\nTires\nCST Dual Sport, 700 x 42\n\n\nDrivetrain\nShimano/Microshift 2x8\n\n\n\nCrankset\nShimano FC-TY501, 46/30\n\n\nBrakeset\nTektro Hydraulic Disc\n\n\n\n
