# of Reviews: 3

The Explorer 2.0 proves you can build an exciting-looking town bike that truly delivers on its promise of fun. An integrated pant guard, wide, cushy saddle and suspension fork and seatpost make it a natural for short errands near the office, with puncture resistant tires and a smooth-shifting Shimano drivetrain.

Strengths:    Comfortable, smooth ride, easy to pedal

Weaknesses:    Brakes could be more aggressive, gears sometimes jam/chain falls off sprocket when switching around the lowest gears (even after a tune up & derailuer adujstment at a local bike shop).

Bottom Line:

The Jamis Explorer 2.0 is a nice all around bike. Comfy, and it rides smoothly and effortlessly. It's not too heavy, yet its very sturdy.

Strengths:    1.Lightweight aluminum frame
2. MegaRange 21 speed gears
3. Comfort (seat and pst absorb lots of bumbs and you don't feel sore after riding)
4.Value while more expensive than a box store bike it has good feature/ cost ratio compared ti Giant or Raleigh bikes in its class

Weaknesses:    not meant for serious off road riding

Bottom Line:

Overall it's a great bike that welcomes those of us who haven't rode a bike in a while with open arms. It's light (not extremely light but lighter than the Pacific or Mongoose at Walmart)and the gearing is much better than my old Huffy 18speed

Strengths:    Comfortable saddle and riding position. Smooth, reliable shifting.

Weaknesses:    None

Bottom Line:

After much studying of all the comfort style bikes available, I narrowed the field to two choices; the Jamis Explorer and the Giant Sedona. I finally decided to go with the Jamis Explorer 2.0, and I'm glad I did. It's a great, solid, reliable ride. I use it for running errands on busy city streets and for pleasure rides on local bike trails. I'm a big guy (6'6" & 270 lbs) so I ordered the biggest (21") frame size. I have found this frame to be fully up to the task of getting me around town. And it's a great looking ride.
