Beatnik
by Jamis
The Jamis BEATNIK is the ultimate urban weapon, built to conquer the streets with style and substance. Designed for riders who crave simplicity, durability, and vintage aesthetics, the BEATNIK blends classic steel construction with modern performance features.
Why Steel?
There’s no better material for city riding than steel. Unlike aluminum, which transmits road vibrations, steel absorbs them, delivering a smoother, more comfortable ride. Its retro-inspired skinny tubing and clean lines perfectly complement the timeless fixie style, making the BEATNIK a natural fit for urban riders who value form and function.
