: At its core, the DXT A1 boasts a size-specific triple-butted 6061 aluminum frame
with a fast-back rear triangle, 1⅛″ head tube, internal cable routing, oval
chainstays, and mounts for disc brakes, kickstands, fenders, and racks.This thoughtful design ensures durability, neat integration, and adaptability for commuting, touring, or light gravel riding.

"
“A frame that packs versatility into every tube and mount.”
: Equipped with a MicroShift Advent Xpress 9-speed drivetrain, an Advent clutch-equipped rear derailleur, and an 11–42T cassette, the DXT A1 offers a broad gear range and dependable shifting. It performs well both in urban scenarios
and on rolling terrain, though purists might wish for smoother shifts akin to
Shimano’s higher tiers.

"
A drivetrain setup that conquers steep climbs and cruising flats with equal grace.
: The comfort quotient is boosted by the SR Suntour NVX HLO suspension fork featuring 75 mm of travel and hydraulic lock-out. Combined with the frame's nicely balanced geometry, this translates to a forgiving, pleasant ride across variable
surfaces, making daily commutes or weekend jaunts more enjoyable.

"
Every bump on the trail becomes a moment to glide, not jolt.
: The DXT A1 employs Tektro hydraulic disc brakes (HD-M275/M276) paired with 160 mm rotors and levers—reliable, responsive, and weather-resistant. Steering feels precise and predictable thanks to the 1⅛″ head tube and well-tuned fork geometry, offering excellent handling on both asphalt and light trails.

"
Brake withconfidence, regardless of mud, rain, or rigor.
: Rolling on robust 700c WTB STX i23 TCS double-wall rims with Joytec hubs and 32H stainless-steel spokes, this hybrid brings durability to the ride. Matched with CST Dual Sport 700×42c tires (per ChooseMyBicycle spec sheet), the setup strikes a solid balance between speed and traction. Saddle comfort is addressed with the
inclusion of a Selle Royal Vivo ERGO saddle—supportive and ergonomic for
extended rides.

"
Wheels that withstand the test of miles, and gravel, and time.
: Jamis DXT A1 is where practicality meets performance—without demanding a premium. ChooseMyBicycle.com Price: Approx current sale price, down from ₹64,990
