We've seen the 2018 Renegade Elite and Expat already, but EIRIN, a Japanese bike shop, has some interesting (and larger!) photos of the other 2018 Renegades on their blog. Sizes 48 and 44 now come with 650 x 42c tires.

2018 Renegade Expert
This is perhaps the most radical departure visually. It's growing on me, though I'm not really a fan of white bikes. The spec appears identical to the 2017.




2018 Renegade Exploit
This also appears to be a purely cosmetic update. I think it's my favorite version of the Exploit so far.




2018 Renegade Expat
Jamis has already shown the new paint scheme on their site, but EIRIN also shows a charcoal variant.




2018 Renegade Explore
Most intriguing perhaps is the new Explore trim. It's the aluminum frame from the Exile paired with the carbon fork and thru-axle from the more premium trims. 10.4kg listed weight. It also gets the surprisingly decent Sora shifters and derailleurs paired with Tektro Lyra brakes. This seems like a pretty solid bike that will likely slot in right at the $999 USD mark. I think it looks surprisingly good in white. EIRIN also shows an army green color.





2018 Renegade Exile
Another seemingly cosmetic-only freshening, in black and red. The red certainly pops!
