Comparing these two bikes for a new purchase. Both are all stock parts. Leaning more towards the Jamis atm but really on the fence. Opinions and thoughts fully appreciated

Short Answer: Bullit
Long Answer: While both were decent bikes for their intended use (freeride, aggressive trail riding) the Bullit is a classic for a reason. It is about the best execution of a non-link driven single pivot. They are built like tanks, easy to maintain, not to mention pretty versatile. It’s geometry isn’t far from modern AM/Enduro bikes, save the higher bottom bracket. As burly as they are, Bullit can be pedaled around on trails relatively well. The Diablo may be newer, but you would have more maintenance issues to deal with over the Bullit.
