Very capable bike
Rating:
The Good
Stability in all conditions, brakes, fine wheels
The Bad
Standard tires
Overall Review:

I love this bike, it outrides most others at this price and has never let me down. It's immensely strong, has fittings for fixing racks and feels like it would go round the world without issue. I've ridden it for 3 years no bother, just a replaced chain when the original wore out with heavy use.

Suspension forks are better than expected, wheels are really good and I adore the braking, this one is hydraulic. 

I've seen friends break their bikes on the same trails as I use, this thing just keeps going!

The selling price is 100 dollars less than retail
The Bad
Tires are very heavy, very very low end parts, should only be sold in box stores, the frame is very heavy as well, the handlebar is heavy steel.
Overall Review:
This bike is so low end it will not meet the needs of a regular XC Rider. The front fork does not have damping as stated and this too is very heavy. All components are the bottom of the barrel, no branding on many parts, It's so heavy it's not that much fun to ride. I will never look at a Jamis again.

650 tires, disk breaks, it's a bike! I can ride and it looks good enough, price was under 500, front shock lock out,
The Bad
OMG the seat is the worst, bike is heavy a bit over 30 lb, some low end parts, front shock squishie,
Overall Review:

It handles well, my first hard tail and I like it, tires are good for xc bike, front shock has no prescription load, my fit is a bit off, I didn't pay a lot for the bike but it handles well and it's fast, does what I need the most that XC, I still a real mountain bike,  as stated it's a  hard tail so it's limited in Virginia mountainus backcountry, can't afford better yet.
