Big air and steep trails demand relaxed handling characteristics, absolute stability, and superior suspension technology – all in a platform built to handle the abuse. That’s what the new Dakar BAM is all about. BAM lets riders seeking pure adrenaline at blurred speeds push confidently to new levels.
We took everything we learned from our ’07 big-hit Diablo and blended it with the XAM to create the BAM. We borrowed the XAM’s mp3 suspension and bumped it to a full 180mm of rear wheel travel. Mated with the position-sensitive damping of the Fox DHX shocks, the BAM ride is super-active and plush with minimal pedal feedback or chain growth. Wide 150 mm rear dropout spacing makes room for beefy 2.5” tires, held secure by a 12 mm Maxle axle and matched by 180 mm travel forks with 20mm thru-axles: all to keep you in control and out of the repair shop.
Big air. Sick drops. Huge descents. Giant gaps. Serious speed. This is your playground. But this isn’t about being crazy. This is about riding over anything, with the control and confidence to make it stick and the mechanical durability to last. Maybe your friends think you’re crazy. Loco. But you have the skills and the gear, and you know better— trying it without a BAM…. now that’s nuts. |
