What do you think about new Jamis Renegade S1?

Hey everyone,

I’m considering buying a Jamis Renegade S1 as my next bike and wanted to get some opinions from people who have ridden it.

I’ve been biking for long distances for years and I’m looking for something comfortable and reliable for mixed terrain (mostly road + some gravel). I also like the idea of traveling with my bike, so versatility is important to me.

My main questions are:

Is the Renegade comfortable for long rides?

How does it feel on pavement vs gravel?

Do you think it’s worth it for the price, or should I look at something like the S2 instead?

Any thoughts or experiences would be really appreciated!

Thanks!
