The original Jamis Dakar multi-link suspension platform, refined throughout the years, has won numerous industry awards & accolades, as well as multiple World Cup & NORBA National titles

small as 13" for younger riders and as large as 23" for big riders
Manitou Slate Comp suspension fork features lightweight magnesium sliders, 100mm of coil sprung/Fluid Flow damped suspension, 30mm cromo stanchions, and an external preload adjustor
The Reverse Arch design offers greater torsional stiffness than standard arch-in-front designs yielding a higher stiffness to weight ratio & enhanced steering control & tracking accuracy
Shimano 24-speed drivetrain features Alivio Rapidfire Plus SL shifters, Deore rear derailleur, Hyperdrive SG-X M341 crankset,and 11-32 HG40 cassette
Shimano Octalink splined BB and crank interface offers much greater strength & rigidity than the standard square taper design
Shimano disc brakes stop great in all conditions & increase wheel longevity by eliminating the rim sidewall from the brake system
The spoke bed eyelets featured on the WTB Speed Disc double wall rims are a MUST due to the disc brake specification. Disc brake torque will twist the hub, increasing the load on the nipples in the spoke bed. The addition of eyelet inserts in the rim prevents nipples from tearing through the spoke bed
Easton EA30 cockpit parts feature Easton's proprietary aluminum taper wall technology, a cold working process that produces multiple tapers to eliminate stress points & dissipate impact energy evenly
WTB Speed V Sport saddle offers an extra wide platform to support riders of all shapes, with extra long rails to promote a better fit

Review
This was my first full-suspension bike. I purchased it used. Mine is a2006 model. After some upgrades and weight trimming this bike is sweet!
