Strengths: agile, smooth. stock geax tires grip great, avid elixer breaks are quiet, fox talis and rp23, well unbelievable, no back pounding or clunking noises like my old bike. sram shifting is intitive and fast, mavic cross ride disk wheel set with bladed straight pull spokes .... unbelievable ride, been to the trail every day so far, can't get enough.Weaknesses: no complaints, it could your an awsome paint job like Mark Cavendish’s Scott "bomber" race bike.Bottom Line: Love It, beating my old times with half the effort. Looks really sharp.

Strengths: True all-mountain performance. Comfortable. Nice component specs. Rails downhills.Weaknesses: Front end is lazy on climbs (especially when I'm tired). Repeated pinch flats in the rear were resolved with a new tire. Crank Bros. Pedals are no good. The bearings in one of them were grinding after only 3 rides.Bottom Line: Does most everything. Fun to ride. It won't put you on any podiums, but it is fun to ride none-the-less. I use it mostly for trail riding, though I have also used it for lift-access downhill. It pedals well, but does not like steep climbs. The head-tube angle is strangely lax resluting in th aforementioned lazy font-end. It bombs downhill though, so if you can handle the lazy front-end it's worth it. I climb mostly forest service roads and double-track to bomb down the fast and fun single-track, and this bike does the job. Would give it four chilis overall if it climbed better.

Strengths: Nice and light for an All Mountain / XC bike yet super tough.
Climbs like a mountain goat.
Handles XC and downhill with ease.
Brakes are very responsive.Weaknesses: Kenda Nevegal tires can't handle downhill without pinch flats. Switching to Stan's tubeless in spring to see how well that works.Bottom Line: Very nice bike that I got for a steal from JensonUSA. I would have gladly paid full price for this bike!

Strengths: Strong. VERY LIGHT for a fully and I ride a size large. Turns great and really sticks to the roadWeaknesses: No lockout on the fox shocks. =/ I hear a lot about the people saying propedal doesnt need it but still... stock handle bar is a bit tight close together for meBottom Line: LOVE THE BIKE. I ride it everywhere. The only weakness is it keeps me off my road bike! I love climbing with it. It feels nice and tight. Its a relaxed feel so I have to throw my seat up pretty high, but im 6'3 so thats a given. Nothing you can do about my long legs. The XT shifts flawlessly. Literally. I have had a few stupid shifts where I am climbing and mid climb I have to down shift and it doesnt even give me a metal grinding sound. Hayes stroker trail brakes work amazing! They remember where the length of the last pull and stick to that. It gets a bit tricky to learn and the bedding process takes a while but once it is all done, it is amazing. Great product. I through on the acid pedals, and with no AEM products, the bike weights in at 28 lbs on my scale which is very light for an aluminum fully suspension size large. I LOVE THE FORKS btw

Strengths: everything, all details were considered, it felt natural immediately to ride.Weaknesses: i hope the mavic crossrides hold up to what the bike encourages you to ride like...Bottom Line: i have the benefit of working at a jamis dealer, so i got this bike as a scratch-and-dent deal, but would have paid more gladly. i jumped on this after spending about 3 years since my devinci was stolen, and felt that i needed to decide for myself if taking big drops and riding urban assault was over for me, instead of a thief deciding it for me. the decision was: hell no. this bike has made me regret not owning a car since a good amount of trails in the twin cities area require alt transport unless you have ample time to make the trip. on the plus side, i feel as if i'm back in colorado when i hit the good trails, back in the days of yore...
bottom line, i am 100% happy, i feel like a kid again, and i'm hitting 39 soon on the life odometer.
and the joplin seatpost is a life goal finally achieved...
i hope it's the last bike i ever have to get, and i look forward to my hair maybe someday matching the white of the frame and we ride into the sunset. happy
