Skimmed through it but don't remember the content, not really a bike that interested me. I'd jump on one for a go if the chance came along though, just to give it a try

Crikey, that front cover type is making my brain hurt.

If I could fit 'standard' wheels I would have bought one by now.

How does it fair with the others in the test?

It's not a head to head pick a winner type test, more a review of each bike and summary about it's merits. I'd sum the Jones review up as you will like it if you want to. You probably need to buy the mag and read it for yourself

It's a good review overall of the bikes. Worth getting a copy.

I do wonder if Jones bikes get ridden long enough in tests - not as a criticism of the mag process, more that I liked mine a lot after ~10-30 hrs of riding perhaps but I was really getting to grips with it and riding better after maybe 4-6 months. It's different enough to regular bikes that it took me a while to learn new habits to get the best it of it, overall I feel that I ride better / smoother on the Jones on many trails but I didn't swap between it and conventional bikes easily at first. And I have the std design, not the Plus which seemed more different again on an initial car-park kind of ride.
