The 26” Yama Jama is a sweet, shredworthy 26” hardtail trail bike for 9-12-year-olds (or even smaller adults looking for a legit ride with smaller wheels). 

It all starts with a 6061-T6 alloy frame using hydroformed and double-butted tubing, with internal gusseting, a semi-integrated head tube, a unique forged one-piece BB shell/yoke for added stiffness, ISCG-05 tabs and even an internal routing option for dropper posts.

We've stepped up our fork game with the new Rock Shox Reba 26" fork with 120mm travel and a specific tune for junior riders. The drivetrain starts with the Brood Bike Co. Styx 160mm crank using a SRAM type direct mount interface for the chainwheel and a sealed external bottom bracket. We add a Brood 32t narrow-wide alloy chainwheel and then utilized a SRAM NX derailleur and shifter combo to get things moving to the 11-42T 11 speed SRAM cassette. Stopping is handled by powerful Tektro AURIGA hydraulic discs.

The 26” Yama Jama uses Brood tubeless-ready rims with a wide profile and tops it off with Maxxis High Roller II 26X2.30 foldable, tubeless-ready tires. Touchpoints matter for kids too, so we’ve topped this Yama Jama off with soft Brood Tenderiderz lock-on grips and Brood Throne Pivotal seat. 

Comes in at around 25.5lbs (if set up tubeless, not incl. pedals).
