from Salt Lake City, Utah Date Reviewed: January 31, 2008 Strengths: Climbs so well, goes down hill very smoothly and feels very stable. I love the XTR components, they shift so fast. This bike is very much a XC ride, not an all mountain ride, so if you're looking for the best XC experience this is it. Weaknesses: I wish the rear shock locked out 100% but to be honest it's not a big deal because I can barely notice it. I like the Juicy 7 brakes on my 2.0 more than the brakes on my XC Pro but they're still great brakes. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Crest trail Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $3500.00 Purchased At: Highlander Bike Shop Similar Products Used: Specialized 1999 FSR stumpjumper, Jamis 2005 2.0 Bike Setup: Factory.

from Arlington, TN, USA Date Reviewed: January 23, 2008 Strengths: Where do I begin. This bike climbs better than anything I have ever ridden. There is no flex in the corners and does not bottom out in dips. It is pretty light weight and man oh man do I love this new bike. Jamis company reps are great as well. Weaknesses: None so far unless you use 2 water bottles (bottom cage only one usable ). Lack of a local dealer. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Lock 4 Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: Jamis Warrenty Replacement Similar Products Used: Jamis XC pro 2005, Specialized Epic, Giant NRS-1 Bike Setup: Jamis XCR pro frame, manitou R7 Platinum, Shimano tubeless, Titec pluto carbon bars, seatpost, SRAM X.0 everything, Hutchinson new gen pythons in summer, continentinals in winter

from Federal Way, WA USA Date Reviewed: December 25, 2007 Strengths: Redesigned 2007 frame is stronger and lighter than previous generation Dakars. I originally had a 2006 Jamis Dakar Comp, but ended up with the 2007 Jamis Dakar Pro frame as a replacement. Most frames are made for racers under 200. I'm 40+ lbs over that and broke the chain stays on the old frame twice. On the 2nd time, Phil's South Side Cyclery worked hard with the Jamis Warranty guys to get me a better set up. Phil ended up paying a bit out of his pocket and Jamis incorporated the upgrades, but they have a satisfied customer. Weaknesses: None so far, the 2007 model frame is holding up to my 240 lbs. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Dash Point State Park Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: Phil's South Side Cyclery Similar Products Used: LBS owner let me use his Dakar XLT 1.0 while mine was being fixed. It was a nice bike with a longer travel which was nice, but I do like how well the XC and XCR's climb up hills. Prior to the Jamis, I rode an old Specialized Rockhopper Hardtail with a 100mm fork. Hardtails are not "similar". Bike Setup: As mentioned this is a mix of a '06 comp and a '07 Pro - Fox Float RP3 shock w/ Pro Pedal 90mm - manitou R7 Fork w/ rebound adjust 100 mm - Mavic XM117 Rims Upgraded 32 rear spokes to DT swiss - Deore Hubs - WTB Velociraptor Tires (F & R specific) 2.1" - SRAM X-9 Rear Derailleur - Mix SRAM X-7 & X-9 shifters - SRAM front Derailleur - Juicy 5 ... 6" Disc Brakes - Truvativ FireX Team Crankset - Bottom Bracket? (Original Giga - X replaced with new unit which has held up longer than orginal). - Monkey Lite 1.5" riser EA70 (replaced original) - Thompson Elite Tiltback Seatpost (OEM Easton EA30 Seatpost died) - EA30 Stem (so so ... want Hope Stem as replacement) - WTB Pure V Race Saddle (awesome saddle, ripped original and replaced ....look for the kevlar version) - FSA Bashgaurd (lots of logs in Pac. Northwest Woods)

from Richmond, Va, USA Date Reviewed: October 30, 2007 Strengths: The entire build kit is top of the line: Shimano XTR group and Fox's best suspension make this thing light, sturdy and very fast. The frame is solid and tracks extremely well at high speeds. I'm surprised you don't see more of them on the trail?? Weaknesses: None yet Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Buttermilk Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $4000.00 Purchased At: Goodlys Similar Products Used: I've owned many (Cannodale, Trek, Santa Cruz, Gary Fisher, K2, etc.) and I can honestly say this is the best CC bike I've ridden AND you absolutely CANNOT get a better bike for the money. Heck, the build kit is worth $4K alone. Bike Setup: XTR everywhere with Fox 23 rear and 100 in the front, Easton carbon bars and post. Mavic Crossmax rims - it's spec. - see the website.
