A lightweight racing, gravel and bikepacking machine
Is a lightweight gravel bike on your wish-list? Then the Jari 1.3 Carbon is here to answer your prayers.
This graceful beauty rides like silk, but don't let its delicate looks fool you. It can happily take your bikepacking bags as well as racks and panniers, mud guards and multiple bottle cages.
There are also a in-built chain keeper plus frame protectors for extra peace of mind when you're tackling loose terrain.
In addition, the Jari 1.3 features adventure-friendly touches such as generously flared bars and a shouldering pad for the days when you need to scramble over a fence.
And the frame weighs less than a kilo. Face it; you've had tyres that weigh more than that.
After buying a brand new bike from overseas, I was very disappointed with the brakes. I took it to my LBS and was told to throw the brakes away and put some others on it. I took it to BMCR, who gave them a quick bleed and adjustment. They went from Formula Frigged to Formula Frigging Awesome. Best…Charles Hatcher
