I have a Clem and Jones Plus. When I lived in California and rode trails that were beautifully groomed a bike like Clem was just fine. Then I moved to PA and all my local trails are gnarly, root filled, technical singletrack that are designed with modern mountain bikes in mind. Sure, I could ride the Clem on them but with how slow I'd be going I might as well just hike. So I started looking for a 21st century MTB and found Jones bikes. The design philosophies of the two companies are so similar I felt like I couldn't go wrong with a Jones. And I'm glad I got one because it's a blast. It rolls over anything, feels stable on everything but still very maneuverable, and good disc brakes offer one finger braking and total relief from the exhausted and cramped hands and wrists I used to get from underbiking on tough singletrack.
