2012 Jamis Exile Comp 29er

Exile has been a huge hit for us these past few years, as more riders discovered the benefits of 29-inch wheels, and the dialed-in feel of our tweaked-and-tuned geometry.

This year’s Exiles are going to completely blow it up thanks to a fully over-hauled and re-designed frame with tapered head tube, box-shaped/S-bend down tube, and ribbed top tube with integrated seat mast beam to support the extra long 400mm seat posts every Exile is equipped with.

The components spec for Comp follows the Race’s lead with a full SRAM drivetrain and Hayes disc brakes with 180mm front rotors, while dropping the price tag a bit so we can let more people have a taste of true 29-inch performance.
