01
Origin
The Jakar was introduced around 2020 as Megamo's accessible gravel entry point — pairing the weight savings of a carbon fork with a proven 6061 triple-butted aluminum frame. Named after a place, it follows Megamo's tradition of geographic naming for their gravel line (West, Silk, Jakar). The bike is made for riders moving from road to gravel without spending on a full-carbon frame.

- Internal routing and flat-mount disc brakes give the bike a clean, modern spec for its price tier
−Weaknesses
