Jeff Jones

Well, just back in after a 25K test ride. I set off with 10 psi in to gauge the handling, first thing I noticed that on tarmac there was less noticeable drag than I expected and it sounded like a JCB, though first climb showed the Jones to be much slower and I had to work much harder than usual and attack the climbs. First section of roots I found it much bumpier than usual so I dropped some more air out probably to 8-9 psi and found this to be a good compromise.
After a few K's I got used to the extra weight on the front end and really started to enjoy it, purposely nose diving into deep mud and the bike did not flinch. I then started to play some more and found it great fun launching of roots and tree stumps and comfortable landings. I even beat a Starva segment time of mine on a tight twisty piece of single track, think this is going to be a lot of fun……... ;)

Small update, now fitted some Jones Loop bars instead of the cuts, slightly wider and better for honking on the bars during steep climbs

Would fit nicely too between your Fargo and Moonlander ;)


Is that no the Krampus :)

I'm waiting to see if a 29+ clearance version comes out.
