from Surrey, BC Date Reviewed: October 28, 2009 Strengths: great bike overall. Once tuned, the Parker II was able to take me places I couldn't go with my hardtail. After parting out my Kona, I was missing the rear suspension. A day of riding the hardtail would leave me in pain. Not anymore. Weaknesses: A bit of slack in the rear chainstay. weak stock driveline parts, go with diabolus and SRAM. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: platinum Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $1500.00 Purchased At: Velocity bikes Similar Products Used: Kona Stinky Transition Bottletocket Norco VPS Norco Shore Norco sasquatch Specialized rockhopper Bike Setup: Marz 55rc2 fork, diabolus cranks and BB, stroker brakes, cromag saddle and wide bar.

from pittsburgh pa USA Date Reviewed: August 1, 2009 Strengths: the bike is light and manouverable. i never rode the complete but i did keep the brakes, headset, bars and seatpost. now with bomber 66 and lighter wheels i use it as a full time freeride bike. it is steady in the air, and handles rock gardens and technical dh trails surprisingly well for a 5 inch travel bike.the domain is fully ajustable frim 115-160 mm of travel which should suit both dj and freeride. the guys at jamis are really chill and their warrenty system is amazing. and you cant bet it for the price. Weaknesses: wheels are heavy but ridable. if your an abusive rider i would keep an eye on the shock.

from Israel Date Reviewed: February 27, 2009 Strengths: 2:1 suspention ratio. Feels more then a 4" frame more like a 6"er. very strong frame. Gives you lots of confidence to go nuts with it. Float R shock works great once adjusted properly. Can get up 160mm forks. I had about 6 bikes so far, and I never felt more at home, amazingly comfortable. Very responsive handling. Considering its a Park/DJ/4X/SS bike, its climbs very well. Price. Weaknesses: the frame came loose in the back end (near the rear wheel) a few times, need to pay attention to it. Also had a problem with the sleeve in the middle of the rocker, remade those parts by my self, works great now.

from guilford, connecticut Date Reviewed: December 12, 2007 Strengths: bang for your buck. VERY similar geometry to much more boutique-y brands like the transition bottlerocket or the sinister gruitr. for the price of either of their frames you can just about have this entire bike. Weaknesses: sr suntour front derailleur? come on jamis, toss a deore on there... don't be too cheap. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Bike Setup: swapped the pedals for some crank bros egg beaters and put a kenda nevegal/blue groove combo instead of the stock WTB weirwolfs... they're just better suited for the trails in my area.

from Idaho Falls, ID, USA Date Reviewed: November 28, 2007 Strengths: Awesome all around bike that works for any riding possible, Fork can be dropped down for some serious dirt jumping, or maximized to race downhill, weighs only 36 pounds and feels like it too. All of the parts are top quality for the money put down, I am 200+ and the air shock is still perfect Weaknesses: Paint isn't the best thing out there, but still good. Frt derailer is a SR sun tour! But I took mine off. Some chain slap when dropping stairs Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: streetriding Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $1650.00 Similar Products Used: Trek session 77, Specialized P3 Bike Setup: Domain 302, Shimano DXR cranks, Halo wheelset.
