Jamis bills the Highpoint A2 as a true all-rounder and it’s easy to see why. With big 29in wheels to roll over bumps better and a 120mm travel coil-sprung Suntour XCM 32 fork to take the edge off the harshest impacts, it’s designed for speed, but not at the expense of comfort.
Comfort, which is enhanced further thanks to the triple-butted aluminium frame. In fact, the Highpoint A2 offers a more forgiving ride than the Carrera, even though both bikes have the same 2.25in width WTB Trail Boss tyres
