Date Reviewed: October 17, 2008

Strengths:    Bombproof frame, with big&massive construction.
Bontrager parts are strong and reliable.
Rhyno lite rims are awesome.Great braking power by Juicy5.
Suspension fork can take a lot of hard landings.


Weaknesses:    Weight.Its a bull,much more for FR than street tricks.


Bottom Line:   
If u wanna strong,reliable hardtail for any urban assault,
jumping stairs,walls,etc,then this is the bike 4 u :)
Rolls great on a mountain,too.As i said,its a litlle bit
heavy for pure street/trials ride (tricks),but when it
comes to riding high speed down the street, over the
stairs and jumps, its unnssttooppaabbllee :)Great control
and balance, also.Now go ride and enjoy !

Strengths:    Note: I'm speaking only about the frame.
Great geometry. Easy to control. Grind plates on chainstays are great idea. thick steerer tube.


Weaknesses:    Some spots of bad paint job.

Bottom Line:   
The best you can get for the money. And Trek has really wide dealer network, so you are covered in case anything happens to it. Not likely.

Date Reviewed: March 7, 2007

Strengths:    The strength of this product is solid and unstoppable. I own a Jack 3 and it never needs a repair unless I have a huge wipe out.

Weaknesses:    It is a hardtail and it is hard landing.

Bottom Line:   
The Jack 3 can beat out any other freeride hardtails going besides the Banshee Morphine but other than that, it is within the top 5 from my pick. NOW GO RIDE!
