A versatile gravel bike equipped with Apex Eagle 12-speed

The Megamo Jakar 20 dust 2027 is an aluminum gravel bike designed to move freely between asphalt, dirt roads, and gravel tracks. Its triple-butted 6061 aluminum frame combines hydroformed tubes with a full carbon fork, while the new internal cable routing provides a cleaner finish.

The frame and fork accommodate tires up to 50 mm, allowing you to adapt the bike to different surfaces and conditions.

This Jakar 20 version features a Sram Apex Eagle 12-speed single-chainring drivetrain with a 40-tooth chainring and an 11-50 tooth cassette, Sram Apex 1 hydraulic disc brakes, Megamo Gravel GR 700 tubeless-ready wheels, and WTB Riddler 700x45 tires with tan sidewalls. Multiple mounting points also allow for the installation of racks, water bottles, panniers, and other accessories for bikepacking.

Frame

6061 aluminum gravel frame

The Megamo Jakar 20 2027 is built on a triple-butted 6061 aluminum gravel frame. This construction aims to combine strength, lightness, and reliability for use on varied terrain and distances.

Hydroformed tubes

The frame uses Hydroformed technology to shape the tubes according to the specific constraints of each area of the bike.

Integrated internal wiring

The brake and drive cables run internally through the frame. Their direct internal routing reduces their exposure and contributes to a clean, integrated finish.

12x142 mm thru-axle

The frame uses a 12x142mm thru-axle.

Flat Mount Brake Fixing

The rear brake is mounted according to the Flat Mount standard.

Compatible with tires up to 50 mm

The frame and fork accept tires up to 50 mm wide. This capacity allows you to adapt the setup according to the desired level of grip, comfort, and safety on uneven surfaces.

Anchor points for bikepacking

The Jakar incorporates several mounting points for racks, water bottles, panniers, and accessories. This allows the bike to be configured for a day trip, a weekend getaway, or a multi-day tour.

Fork

Carbon fork for disc brake

The Carbon Disc Fork is made of carbon. It helps to absorb vibrations encountered on rough roads, tracks and gravel paths.

Internal wiring

The cable routing is integrated inside the fork to extend the clean finish of the frame.

12x100 mm thru-axle

The fork uses a 12x100 mm thru-axle.

Flat Mount Brake Fixing

FSA conical

Sram Apex 1 Hydraulic Disc Shifters

The Sram Apex 1 Hydraulic Disc levers control the 12-speed single chainring drivetrain and hydraulic braking from the handlebars.

Sram Eagle cassette 11-50 teeth

The Sram Eagle cassette offers an 11-50 tooth range. This range allows you to adapt your gearing to both the rolling sections and the climbs encountered on gravel routes.

Sram Apex 40-tooth crankset

The Sram Apex crankset features a 40-tooth steel chainring.

Brakes

Sram Apex 1 hydraulic disc brakes

The Megamo Jakar 20 uses Sram Apex 1 Hydraulic Disc brake controls combined with a hydraulic braking system.

Flat Mount

Both the frame and fork are compatible with Flat Mount standard brake calipers.

Wheels
