Pros: Smooth ride, lock-out works great..almost feels like a soft-tail instead of a hardtail. Price
Cons: Weight, came with junk pedals and brakes aren't all that great.
Time Used: 3 Months
Comments: I bought this because I have had great luck with my other Cannondale Super V1000. this bike is great, I switched the pedals to clipless and handlebars to Easton monkeys. Bike climbs, descendes. I think its a great bike for the all around rider/SPort racer. I ride in NewEngland where trail condition is crazy t determine, fast, dry, sloppy, root, technical, climb, descend, we do it all here...I like this bike

Pros: Reasonable price, very comfortable, nice components, made in the USA, extremely stable and predictable & tough!
Cons: Pedals that came with package @ $1200.00 sucked. Seat post clamp sucked.
Time Used: 3 Months
Comments: Very comfortable bike on & off road. I tested many others & found this to be the best value for higher end bikes. Handles single track very well. Lock-out shock in front & rear are great. Out the three bikes I've owned, the Jekyll is the best. The rear suspension is tight from side to side while other bikes I've seen get sloppy and make noise after just a couple of months.
Rating: 4
Recommendation: Yes I would recommend it to a friend
