Advantages: Great ride
Disadvantages: Cut corners on some componentry

Paying this sort of amount of money on a bike I would expect to see Shimano XT or something better the forks Jett xc's are a fab set of cross country forks and for the rider who is just getting started this bike may or may not be the one for you....

Advantages: Kona

I conclude an excellent allround bike for the money... Read review
