My first ride on my Jamis Xenith was a recovery ride, so I didn’t put the performance of the bike to the test. The next ride though…oh boy! I had intervals with some quick sprints in them and let me tell you-this bike can SPRINT! I’ve since ridden it multiple times and I’m amazed at how much better this bike feels under me than my 2007 frame. The fit is much better and that becomes apparent when cornering, I’m so much more comfortable on this bike. I’m stoked on it, seriously stoked on it!
