- Problems fixed and upgrades !!! The second generation is here and all my wishes have come true. I have finally got my hands on this Gravel bike and tested it one week before racing it at the Canadian UCI Gravel World Series and qualifier for the World Championship in the Belgium later this year.
I had already qualified in the first North American race in Arkansas by placing 6th in my age group. This allowed me to focus a little bit more on work and my training was suboptimal going into Canada.
Long story short, even so I was fitter and in better shape in AK, I finished 5th in Canada to my surprise. Looks like the lack of fitness was erased by the improvements of the second generation Renegade. The C1 was absolutely phenomenal on climbs and steady as she goes in the technical sections. I am still experimenting with the flip chip on the fork, after riding one week with the chip in the upper position I now switched it to the lower. There are small differences, but both feel balanced and neither seem to be over the top. Stay tuned for opinions on that.

No one talks about it because it's a $9000 USD gravel bike.
😂
Yep, I like my 90s Rigid MTB "Gravel Bike"!
And it doesn’t look like it’ll fit 700x50s which is preferable for light mtb action
Yeah!! Mister unknown - Jamis Renegade 2024 ))
Is the Gear ratio enough for climbing?
After the 50s we dont talking about money anymore. :) NICE Vid
we will see how long time :P
Nobody talks about Jamis because they don't talk about themselves. Their marketing is non existent. Nice video tho.
Good point and I have to agree 👍
Agreed. It is up to the marketing dept to get new bikes in front of the media. This video is more effort than the Jamis marketing dept has done in years.
The woman who runs Jamis is not very Savvy at all very stubborn and has a lot of detractors throughout the industry. I'm telling you firsthand from sales reps they have come and gone into my shop. Jameis has tried to get the small mom-and-pop shop where I work at to be a dealer and we said no thanks because of their lack of marketing and because of their CEOs absolute negative disposition. 👍🏻
@@rider65isn’t that so sad
I recently picked up a 2016 Jamis Renegade Elite and have been very happy with it, altho i've only been using it for roads and paved trails. Very inspiring to see what you're able to do with yours.
2016 is still going strong, nice. Thank you for the comment.
That looks fantastic. The perfect do it all set up. Congrats on the new ride!
That's the plan! Thank you.
Are you running the stock tires on it?
yup, stock 44's. They say it fits tires up to 50
That's some beautiful, and compelling terrain you are riding in! Where are these gravel tracks that roll through those boulders and cliffs?
It’s at the Mohonk preserve upstate New York. Great gravel riding 👍
You didn't talk about it either mate
And you too can have this Gravel bike for the low low price of $8,999 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Love all the different kinds of bikes out there nowadays. Keeps things interesting. But can’t for the life of me figure out why anyone would want to ride a bike on gravel surfaces or in the mountains or race competitively on bikes designed specifically for those activities. I can relate to cargo bikes and hybrids. They are utilitarian. Seems kinda masochistic to do the other kinds of rides at least to me. Well to each his own. Have fun doing your thing.
Hi. Do you think the new renegade is worth switching to from the previous one? How reliable is bottom bracket, will there be skips, or wait until the BSA is done :)
It’s worth it for the mid clearance, but the BB is still the same.
Что в нем такого за 9000$? Я не могу понять такие цены. Ведь мотоцикл или авто намного сложнее.
People have become sheep 🐑
Nice edit
Thanks
Apparently, you didn't talk about the Renegade either 😁 Question, how often would you use the flip chip? Don't own a bike with one and like the 'idea' of one but kinda curious about whether people use them often or is it more of a selling point?
touché :) haha - It's only been two weeks on this bike for me, but so far so good. I agree that most flip chips in MTB's never get used and the changes are too small to even be felt. This being a full ridged bike makes small changes more apparent. The one thing I can already say about the lower position of the flip chip is, I like the added pedal clearance since I like to pedal thru rough technical sections. More to come. Btw, I have also been told that I talk too much, it seem like I am in a loose loose battle - hahaha. Thanks for the feedback
@@cyclingskills Ha! I get told the same thing. :)
Good point about pedal clearance and that it's a full rigid. Yes, you tend to feel effects of changes more, or that's been my experience as well. Best to you in your upcoming races!
Thank you. Right back at you 👍
How come you’re not talking about it?
Nobody talks about this gravel bike....Not even this video, bike isnt named int he description and there is no talking in the video.
Is that the top of range $9k model? They aren’t cheap, that’s for sure…I really like the S2 Reynolds 631 Steel model…the copper tone looks great.
Yup, it’s the C1 with SRAM Red. Definitely the high roller model, but the lower equipped models or frame set offer most of the advantages. (at more weight of course)
@@cyclingskills beautiful bike, you deserve the best model, if anyone does!
Fork as in Rondo's gravel bikes.
I bet that bike would see my cheap as bike from behind as I get really little as I pull away wondering how that old guy in such a cheap bike did that. Haha
9 grand.. you gotta be a little nuts to buy into a brand thinking you getting value. You could have gone custom and got a bike that’s truly special and helped small and medium enterprises who are fighting these brands. Missed opportunity but enjoy.
$hity clearance for mud
