Strengths: Super strong frame, light wightWeaknesses: None review only for the frameBottom Line: My LBS got me the 09 Komodo II frame back in July from Jamis it was NOS and had never been built up. I was wanting a do all hardtail that could be rode hard and not break.. I had Cannondale hardtails and the frames would break after several broke frames thats why I got and built up the Komodo. What a KICKASS FRAME !! to build up. The frame has a high BB hight using a bash guard you have 11" clearance and for a high front climbs very well and is a killer frame for trail riding. Were it really shines is going down hill it just rails and handles super well. Running a long travel fork make this frame a blast to ride and you can ride it were most hardtail frames could not go. This frame needs to be rode with a short stem.

Strengths: I love the DJ ones. I have not bottomed out once. the frame is great. Ive had no problems doing drop offs or big jumps. it's got about a 40 pound frame so its heavy for a hardtail but Its worth the weight for the durability you getWeaknesses: Its really heavy and hard to go up hillBottom Line: This bike is a great bike to beat up. I do downhill with it and then I go and jump it. It's pretty much good for any thing but X country. For the price, you get a great deal
Favorite Trail: Any where

Strengths: dirt jumper 1,s they are super strong the best thing on the bike.hayes stroker rydes are also very good and easy to ajust.Weaknesses: the rims are crap. I bent the back one on the first day riding the bike going off a small drop.It has Shimano deore wich skips all the time and bangs against the frame.Bottom Line: If id known what this bike was like i wouldnt have got it.
This is not a very good mountain bike.

Strengths: Very Burly but not too heavy. Pedals really good. Did some drops to 3' so far and it isnt skipping a beat under my 250lbs.Weaknesses: Climbing is not the best for this bike but thats not what it was made for.Bottom Line: I wanted a bike that could take a beating and still work the trails well. So far this bike fits the bill for me. Well made and super burly. Great for freeride/Park and light downhill. Any DH if you like hardtails.
