The triple-butted SPF tubing frame of the Jamis Nemesis Race bike is exceedingly light and responsive. It captures the responsive stiffness of alloy, but in a lighter package. With a tapered headtube, and oversized chainstays, it offers stability and control in a light and affordable package. It's low, responsive, and built to aggressively climb and carry speed.
The Nemesis is light, agile, and capable of satisfying a wide range of riders. It offers excellent handling, and terrific power transfer, making it a bike fit for a litany of trails. Progressive geometry and advanced material combine to bring riders a new generation of XC bike.
Complete with a SRAM 10-speed drivetrain, this is a bike that can climb and maintain momentum with ease. The Ritchey cockpit features a low-rise bar that gives you stiff and responsive handling. Alex wheels and Schwalbe's iconic Racing Ralph tires offer unmatched control with low rotating weight.

With so many choices of bikes you can choose to purchase, not all of them are made to fit every rider out there. Some bikes may be too progressive, some too long, some too short, etc. When a bike comes from the factory, it may not be totally suitable for the rider which leads to more money coming out of pocket to help tailor a more fitting ride. Luckily, there are brands out there who know this is a problem so they make adjustments from the factory to help better fit their customer base. One of these brands is Juliana Bicycles.
