Favorite Trail:
Bull/Jake Mountain
Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:
$1000.00
Strengths:
This is a very sturdy/beast of a bike. It is well built.
Weaknesses:
Pedels: If you are a novice rider get used to the bike before you update the pedals. However, You will want to upgrade to clipless in order to unleash the bike's full potential. Forks: Great entry level forks. Have not had any problems with them, but I plan on upgrading- I know that I am missing something else.
Bike Setup:
Stock except the pedals.
Bottom Line:
Spend the extra money and the 3.0 Durango. I have tried to push the bike to its limits and can not find any faults in the bike.

Bike Tek
Strengths:
Great bike takes everything I have thrown at it and hasnt given me any problems in 7.5 months.
Weaknesses:
Stock tires were horrible IMO and the pedals werent the greatest.
I highly reccomend this bike to anyone looking for a decent bike to ride some trails with. I originally went into the shop for a giant yukon and after seeing the Durango and comparing the specs and prices jumped on the jamis and could no be happier.
