About us

My name is Jeff Jones. I'm a cyclist committed to the non-suspended bicycle. My ideas and passion have created an exceptional ride - a trail-blazing geometry that delivers superb handling, comfort and efficiency. My bikes are available in titanium and steel, to be ridden off-road (and on) for exploring and racing, adventures and fun. They are outrageously responsive bicycles - frame and forks designed in harmony to provide a rigid bicycle that is anything but. A pure cycling experience like no other.

What is the HD/e?  (back to top)

HD/e stands for heavy duty and electric and the frame is built stiffer, stronger, and longer.

  • Jones LWB HD/e Frameset.
  • Wheels with 50 mm wide rims, 36 spokes, Schrader valve stems.
  • Big 29” x 3.25” knobby tires or 29" x 2.8" smooth tires.
  • Hydraulic or mechanical disk brakes with 203 mm rotors front and rear.
  • 1 x 9 speed drivetrain with a single click shifter. 
  • Steel cassette teeth, axle, and hub driver body.
  • Comfortable seat with deeper padding and chromoly rails.
  • And more!

 

The Jones LWB HD/e is based on the Jones Plus LWB, a design that has proven itself as one of the most versatile bikes around, winning awards for its abilities as a bikepacking bike, as well as praise for just about all other types of riding. Combine this with Jones Geometry, the upright riding position, big 29” 36 spoke wheels and plus size tires, drivetrain and brake parts selected for strength and durability, and we have a heavy duty bicycle that is efficient and comfortable! 

The Jones LWB HD/e frames and unicrown forks are made from heat treated 4130 chromoly steel and have a great feel to them that is stiffer, stronger and with a little more weight than the non HD/e version (~ 300 grams). Perfect for heavy loads or an e-bike conversion. If you’re in need of a heavy duty bike for loaded touring, bikepacking, mountain biking, commuting, gravel or road riding, the Jones HD/e has you covered!

The Jones LWB HD/e frameset can be built into a highly versatile and rugged bike or e-bike with a great ride that is efficient, comfortable, and as good in city streets as it is out on rough and technical terrain, and everything in between!

We offer this frameset, built up into complete bicycles and e-bikes. This frameset does not have any extra brackets or mounts that make it an e-bike frame. It does, however, have enough clearance for a motor as well as being made stiff and strong enough to handle a heavier rider, motor, and/or lots of cargo.

Here is a video where Jeff talks about this new bike.

 

 

Features and Benefits  (back to top)

  • Jones LWB HD/e Geometry for a great ride in a wide range of conditions.
  • Frame and fork designed to work together, a frameset.
  • Frame is compatible with Jones Truss Fork for LWB.
  • These steel frames have a great feel that is stiffer, stronger and with a little more weight, ~ 300 grams. Perfect for heavy loads.
  • Super tough heat treated 4130 chromoly steel frame and fork with butted tubing.
  • Longer chainstays, 20", provide a longer wheelbase with more stability, smoother ride, keeps the front end down on steep climbs. It also creates more chainring clearance and room for a center kickstand mount.
  • Big and tall Jones Spec. wheelset with 29" x 3.25"/700c x 82 mm tubeless ready knobby tires, or 29" x 2.8"/700c x 71 mm tubeless ready smooth tires on 50 mm wide rims allow you to run very low pressure for maximum suppleness, better traction, more flotation and comfort along with lower rolling resistance, less flats and more safety, on or off road!
  • 36 spokes for ultimate strength and durability.
  • Jones Spec. rims are taped and tubeless ready for maximum suppleness, better traction, more flotation and comfort along with lower rolling resistance, less flats and more safety, on or off road! Bead lock helps to keeps the tire on the rim even at low pressures.
  • New Jones Spec. rear hub with interchangeable freehub bodies and axles. The complete bikes come with a steel HG freehub body and axle for maximum stiffness and durability. We have compatible aluminum Shimano HG, SRAM XD, and Shimano Microspline freehubs (sold separately). There is also a steel axle for HG and XD freehubs available for added strength (sold separately). 
  • The wheels are drilled for Schrader valves which are stiffer, sturdier, and easier to use than presta valves. They have a larger diameter than presta valves allowing for increased airflow and this makes setting up tubeless tires much easier. Changing to tubeless will save about 1.2 lb compared to the Schrader tubes that come with the bike.
  • Big tire clearance. Room for 29” x 3.25”.
  • Jones 710mm Loop H-Bar and H-Grips provide better handling and more comfort than a traditional bar. A wide range of better hand and body positions ensure more power, comfort and control. Jones H-Bar Tape on the rear crossbar for the full range of hand positions. Our most popular bar and grip combination.
  • Wide range Box Prime 9 drivetrain has the same range as some 12 speed drivetrains. With fewer gears and bigger jumps between gears, you don’t have to shift as often.
  • Box Three 9 speed single-click shifter weighs less than Box Two and costs less. It has a plastic cover, and doesn’t have the hinge for mounting to the bars. The shifting is the same as Box Two. 
  • Box Three cassette is stiffer, e-bike ready, and has all steel sprockets for less shifting and better durability. The overall cassette is narrower than a 12 speed cassette for a better chainline.
  • Box Two chain is wider, stronger, and sturdier chain than 12s chain.
  • Box Two derailleur has a stiff Tri-Pack™ Clutch that keeps the chain tight.
  • Fits up to a 38T chainring. This is comparable to the gearing of a road triple with a similar fast gear and an easier climbing gear. 
  • Hydraulic disc brakes, Magura MT Trail Sport. Ergonomic 1-finger HC aluminum lever blade, 4 piston front caliper and 2 piston rear. 203 mm front and 203 mm rear Magura Storm HC rotors and Magura adapters. Increased control and more power, excellent for trail riding. 
  • Or
  • Mechanical/cable actuated disc brakes, Alhonga. Easy to adjust and very adjustable ball bearing disc brake. Super durable with plenty of stopping power at a lower cost. Long pull adjustable reach levers with barrel adjuster. Comfortable silicone brake lever cover.
  • Brazed-in water bottle bosses, rack mounts, and fender mounts. 
  • Brazed-on cable guides for full length brake and derailleur housing. For use with plastic clips or zip ties to attach the housing to the cable guides. 
  • Five rear rack and fender bosses, one on the dropout and four in the seatstay, for the best rack/fender/tire size fit, or for mounting water bottles. The fork can hold two more water bottles.
  • Full fender bosses on the seat and chainstay bridges.
  • Rack bosses on upper seatstays.
  • Triple-boss cage mount underneath the downtube. One triple-boss cage mount on the top of the down tube near the bottom bracket (use it to for a standard two-bolt bottle cage, or a three-bolt cage), and one standard two-boss mount closer to the headtube.
  • Centered kickstand mount. A great bike for dirt, road, mountains, gravel, city, touring/trekking, bikepacking, commuting, fitness, riding around the world or just around your neighborhood.
  • Coated with ED Black for rust resistance and smoother coating underneath the paint.
  • Decals underneath a semi-matte clear coat.
  • Available in black with knobby tires, or limited edition red (Pantone 7420) with smooth tires. Both colors come with semi-matte clear coat applied over the decals.

A great bike for city, dirt, road, mountains, gravel, touring/trekking, bikepacking, commuting, fitness, riding around the world or just around your neighborhood. The only bike you’ll ever need!

The Jones LWB HD/e combines the latest technology with bicycle designs from throughout history and across the planet to make a bike that defies categories and opens ride possibilities like no other. In this new video Jeff Jones talks about  some of the history and thinking that went into creating the Jones Plus HD/e.

 

Jeff gives an overview of how the H-Bars work, and the design process that went into making them. The H-Bar is much more than a different-looking handlebar: it's the result of years of prototyping and riding, and the result is a handlebar that gives a very wide range of useful and distinct positions, allows you to use standard mountain bike controls, and has the ability to transform almost any bike into a more versatile and more comfortable machine.
