Strengths: Light and great up hillWeaknesses: Riding down hill you dont know what you're going to get a broken chainstay or frame. I've had this bike less then a year and snapped two chain stays and my frame in half. My first big drop bent both rims and froze my rear hub. I upgraded rims, hubs, and tires now I'm breaking the frame.Bottom Line: Jamis does not warranty any labor on bike. Count on fixing something every time you ride. This bike is a waste of money, save up and buy something nice. THIS BIKE IS JUNK!!!

Strengths: Good price, worthy components, lightweight, multiple-purpose.Weaknesses: This bike don't like any agressive rides. Stiffness of the frame is not the best for a XC racing bike.Bottom Line: Reliable bike for fast driving on russian roads, and even for XC racing competitions. After 3 years of pure fun I can strongly recommend Dakar XCR for accurate & quick riders.

Strengths: So much bike for the money! Rides with the $3000 bikes for half the price!Weaknesses: Mix of great components and some "just ok" components. Room for upgrades.Bottom Line: This bike is so much bike for the money! It climbs like its lighter than it is, the geometry is perfect for the climbs, but turn it downhill at 30mph and the thing is like a 2 wheeled porche! I reluctantly upgraded from my trusty but super nicely outfitted hradtail (which I still have and ride) and couldn't be happier. If you are a serious rider on a thin budget, this is the bike for you. If you are a yar bra gaer head who likes to show off his gear this is too good a value for you.

from Baltimore, MD, USADate Reviewed: October 16, 2008
Strengths: Arguably the best spec/cost ratio
Comfortable position
Good climber for a heavy (29 Lbs) XC bike
Handles tight twisty single-track well
Good all arounderWeaknesses: Long throw shifts with Shimano Lx
Where do you add air to the SRAM Recon fork?
After 1,000 miles of middle aged man riding, the right chain stay fractured completely through just behind the weldBottom Line: Thumbs up till the chain stay broke. I suspect Jamis will honor the warranty. If they don't I'll post.
Family Bike-John and his team are great.

Strengths: Decent spec for the price. Pedal efficiency is awesome, climbs as well as my hardtail.Weaknesses: Nothing has given me a problem yet.Bottom Line: I love this bike. It is my 1st dually and I don't regret a thing about purchasing this bike. You can't beat it for the price. Giant Trance is probably as good spec overall, but they are very similar.
I can't fault it. Maybe I will re-review after 12 months, but so far so good.
