Details THREE VARIABLE OPTIMIZED. 1. INSTANT CENTER With the 3VO system's unique virtual pivot characteristics, we're able to combine the efficiency of a hardtail with the proper support of precisely-controlled active suspension. This is how every full-suspension bike should ride. 2. AXLE PATH A rear wheel that stays planted while charging through rough terrain is crucial to providing an intimate connection with the trail. 3VO's initial rearward axle path allows the bike to be supple on small bumps and square edge hits while its tightly tuned relationship with the system's leverage ratio keeps the suspension highly reactive even while pedaling. 3. LEVERAGE RATIO Imagine having two bikes in one, that's essentially what we've got with 3VO. The tuned multi-phase leverage ratio with initial rising rate provides an unparalleled pedaling platform while remaining keenly adept at sustaining repeated bumps without holdup. Up to just beyond the sag point, the system employs a slight rising rate. Some designs claim an initial falling rate with high initial leverage improves sensitivity and responsiveness, but these claims seem more driven by a need to market a deficiency than by any genuine benefit. Why? Because up until the sag point of the bike, sensitivity and responsiveness are primarily felt when the suspension is able to extend, not compress. - Dyad Pro High Modulus Carbon Fiber - 160mm travel 3VO suspension - Enduro Max sealed bearing pivots - Fox Float DPX2 Performance Series EVOL shock, 3-position compression - Fox 36 Rhythm Series Float 27.5", sweep adjust compression & lock-out - Stan's No Tubes Flow D 27.5" rims, Shimano MT410 hubs - Shimano Deore, 12-speed - Shimano MT420 4-piston brakes

Portal - noun: DOOR, ENTRANCE; especially a grand or imposing one. Pass boldly through to the other side and impose on the most fun you've had on two wheels with the Jamis Portal C2. Its high-modulus carbon fiber frame swings your rear wheel through 130mm of micro-tracking 3VO suspension, renowned for its trail-contouring ability that goes hand-in-hand with big-hit burliness. A 130mm Fox 34 FLOAT fork easily handles the rough stuff up front, ensuring your trail-spec'd Stan's NoTubes Arch MK3 wheels track right where you want them, ready and willing to dig deep, wrapped in Vittoria's Martello tubeless tires. The entire trail opens to you when you've got the proven combo of a huge-range SRAM XO1 Eagle 12-speed drivetrain and Magura MT8 brakes to ensure you have the leverage when you need it, the speed when you want it, and the power to reign it all in when the speed gets critical. And, the Portal will feel as familiar as walking out your front door thanks to a rider-tuned Race Face cockpit, and an instantly dialable stance, courtesy of your Race Face Aeffect dropper.
