Jamis Komodo x.0 XC Hardtail
Product DescriptionThe Komodo’s triple-gauge, double gusseted aluminum chassis and Manitou Stance Flow fork with Hex-Lock thru-axle say it all—this is a big-hit hardtail that, in the right hands, can match a long-travel dual-suspender blow for blow. This is super-duty stuff, from the 120-150mm adjustable-travel fork to the 8” rotors and Hayes HFX-9 hydraulic calipers. TruVativ’s bomber Hussefelt bar, crank and Howitzer ISIS bottom bracket will hold up under hard landings, backed by the anti-taco protection of WTB’s Dual Duty FreeRide disc rims and the added cushion of 2.35” Maxxis HansVenture tires. This is all about sticking the big landing and coming back for more.

from Gainesville, Fl Date Reviewed: December 2, 2005 Weaknesses: This is an update of sorts. I have noticed that one problem that I have run into with this frame is that I'm getting a lot of tire rub because of the lack of wheel clearance in the back. I am running the stock 2.3" Scorpions and even at different psi's Im still getting a decent buzz in corners etc..

from Gainesville, Fl Date Reviewed: November 23, 2005 Strengths: I feel like this is a really great all-around frame. It is strong as hell and you wont believe how light it is. The geometry lends well to XC, all-mountain, pretty much most types of mountain biking. I have set it up as a bike that will do everything and it is just that. Weaknesses: I guess the reason for the deal on Jenson is that the "FX" part of the label is crooked. You cant even notice unless someone points it out to you. I'm glad it is b/c I got a great deal. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Santos Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $145.00 Purchased At: Jenson (frame) Bike Setup: I did a full buildup on this frame like most here. Reba SL fork, Holzfeller crank, XT/LX drivetrain, Hayes MX-2s'. Still tweaking it but Im learning alot from my first build. There are such great deals online you just wait to get a deal on something.

from Syracuse, NY USA Date Reviewed: July 1, 2005 Strengths: Review is just for the frame. Strong welds, I like the matte black finish (just like my old GT aggressor). Stands up to 2' drops under a heavy rider (6'2", 225#) Weaknesses: Figured out why the frame was so inexpensive; the decals on the frame were a little off, not enough for the casual onlooker to notice as you blow past them, but if you're looking for it, you'll find it. Matte finish shows fingerprints and grease marks easily if you care about that crap-I don't.
