Strengths: This bike handles extreamly well for a hard tailWeaknesses: weight. Too damn heavy. Judy TT is no good.Bottom Line: I bought this bike on a whim for a trip up to Wyoming not expecting much considering the price. Once I got it on the trail, I was pleasently surprised. It handled rocks and bolders well and was very fast. It was kind of loud but performed great! Great bike for the price. If your green to mtbing, buy it and I guarentee it will out perform you.

Strengths: Heavy duty frame, all components are mid-pack, reliable, and work well together. Heavy duty wheelset (I'm a 225lber and the hold up) Inspires confidence at speed, upgradeableWeaknesses: Nothing major.....but....Formula Activa mech disks require WAY too much adjusting. (wish they were Avid Mech disks) I wish the peddles were 2x sided (they are DH platform w/ 1-sided entry, but they are good for those learning to use clipless (like I was initiallyBottom Line: Solid bang for buck, reminds me of the argument that a Chevy Camaro has always been the best $/Performance bargain out there. I recommend for the heavier riders out there. Flyweights will spend too much time whining about the weight (mine weighs in at a sturdy 27lbs). Jamis is a great stealth brand. Check out the 2002 models! I'm drooling over the Dakar Comp as my next trade in!

Strengths: Great Componets, solid light frame, The most useful pedals I've ever seen!!!!Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Killer hard tail this thing does it all I'm a heavy rider 247lbs and this thing can take all I can dish out I'll look into upgrade to air shock but the Judy as is does a nice job. In this price range full suspenion bikes for a heavy rider are just not the way to go buy a killer hardtail with good componets and let it rip!!!!!

Strengths: Rock Shox Judy(upgradable to air cartridges), matching drivetrain, no mixing and matching parts, lightweight, disk brakes, 9 speed, Disk specific wheels.Weaknesses: So far, none.Bottom Line: This bike does it all. It climbs really well, very light. Downhills even better. Bike doesnt bounce or jump around when your ripping down the trail. It handles really well at high speeds. The disk brakes are very nice because they wont clog up in mud like cantilevers or V brakes. Nothing needs to be upgraded (maybe the Judy to the air cartridge if you want to go nuts) Very sexy bike. You really get your bang for your buck.
