@Rubberelli: Like I said TOTALLY LEGIT, no way some bike manufacturer would throw in some extra skids to make a video look cool. never happens...

Seems like the riding is kinda slow? especially that first riding scene? (not that I'm saying I could ride faster than these guys, just an observation) Wonder if the slow speed is due to all the unnecessarily dramatic SKIDDING in every corner? ( oh yea, it's dry, all that dust in the air is totally legit and not just to shoot the video :) )

This must be the worst interbike EVER...? first bike and it's a motorbike... well a bike with a motor that costs twice as much as your average dirtbike...
Lets see, this.... OR a KTM 450... let me think...

Jamis' New 3VO-Suspended Hardline Enduro Bike - Interbike 2018
@bcmanucd: that's a valid point. But it's not like most new bikes models are keeping the same seat post angle/geo that they used to have and just measuring it differently so they can list it as being steeper in the geo charts...
THEY ARE ACTUALLY STEEPER... :)

Jamis' New 3VO-Suspended Hardline Enduro Bike - Interbike 2018
@PinkyScar: Just saw a review saying 74.5 was an uphill wheelie machine. So I'd guess 74 makes for backfilps? :)
My XL 2016 Bronson had a 74* seat tube angle; with a 34" inseam I had to run my seat all the way forward. And still had to hover over the nose in the steeps. Not unridable, it was an improvement on the Heckler before that, but it wasn't ideal either. 2019 Bronson now has a 75.3".

Jamis' New 3VO-Suspended Hardline Enduro Bike - Interbike 2018
@lostlunchbox:
A) exactly my point. You see anybody compete in the hardline on a 160mm all mountain bike today?
B) Trends are how companies make money selling product. If banana bikes were hot you'd see most compaines making them. "you" keep doing "you" though...
C) Great! I wish them success and if your a new customer that's awesome! Gotta admit, the thought of an angle set and a 150 fork on the Portal did cross my mind!! But then the additional cost VS spec VS the competition and I came back and made my post.
I'm not dissing on Jamis for fun. Just questioning the decisions they made... that's what the interwebs are for.
