Back in April while we were down at the 2009 Sea Otter Classic, we spied a new 2010 Jamis Xenith. It would have gone unnoticed to most, even us to be completely honest, due to it’s 2009 Team Colavita paint job. This prototype was there to be tested and riden for feedback. We weren’t able to get all the details on this 2010 Xenith, but we were able to wrangle a few tidbits out of our anonymous informant. Apparently the new frame is going to be one of the cleanest finished carbon frames to come to market. Meaning Jamis has been able to produce a frame with virtually no wrinkles or excess resin in critical areas of this Xenith. It’s a completely new system, using a proprietary bladder system that’s said to be exclusive to Jamis at the moment.
We’ll be able to get the full low down on this and all of Jamis’s 2010 lineup at the upcoming Interbike show in late September. Videos, photos, interviews, and virtual booths are just some of the exciting things we have planned to cover the show. So check back regularly for press releases and announcements from now til show time, September 21-25, 2009.
Are you attending? Would you like to contribute to your favorite review site? We’re currently looking for a couple of bloggers to help us cover the show. If you’re interested, send an email to admin@roadbikereview.com and let us know!

SCHWEEET!!!
Man, has Jamis ever come a long way from when they first hit the ‘price-point’ market (and they were purdy darned great at that, way back then!).
I would just have to decide between Super Record 11, and SRAM Red+ (or whatever their top gruppo is now called) on mine. It does look hot with the SRAM stuff in that pic, I must admit.

I just bought a Jamis Aurora Elite, redid the hubs and wheels went down to 25’s. What a great bike…smooth fast and 4-5 hrs feel like nothing God Bless Metal frame bikes with some carbon.. I tried Cannondales , Cervelo’s, Treks and Specialized and NOTHING can compare with the ride and quality of the Jamis their new 2010 bikes are the best they have ever built and leave the competiton in the dust it takes them 3-4 years of testing to release a new bike NO other bike company does that… there all carbon bikes have absolutely no seem problems they have mastered carbon and steel frames..
