Its 29-inch wheels roll smoothly over roots, rocks, and uneven ground, while the SR Suntour suspension fork provides 100mm of travel to help absorb bumps and maintain control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also like that Jamis equips the A2 with Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes. They provide smooth, predictable braking with less hand effort than traditional cable-actuated brakes. The Shimano 2x8 drivetrain offers 16 useful gear combinations, including lower gearing for climbs and higher gears for faster sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sloping top tube improves standover clearance, and the oversized aluminum tubing creates a strong, responsive pedaling platform.
