With its parent company having been around for over a quarter century, Jamis Mountain Bikes are a permanent fixture in the cycling world. Not only do they offer rugged durability, but they don't cost an arm and a leg! This bike will get you through everything from mud to sand. In addition, it won't leave you stranded with logs and rocks in your way. Anything you want this bicycle to do, it'll do. This company has built its name on quality and anyone who rides one of them knows this to be true.

Riding across rugged terrain can be very dangerous no matter what you are riding. Appropriate gearing can minimize any risks you might face, but it's a good idea to know what you're getting into beforehand. If at all possible, try to research the rugged terrain area you are planning to ride in. What will the weather be like? What are the conditions? Is there a lot of mud/sand/bush etc.? All of this will help you better plan your ride and it will allow you to make provisions for things that might unexpectedly come up.

Another really good rule of thumb to follow when riding in any sort of difficult or unpredictable terrain, is to ride with a partner. Your partner will not only help you assess any risks that come up, but they will also be able to help you should you need medical assistance. Even situations that aren't life-threatening will make you glad you chose to ride with a buddy. For instance, a flat tire can leave you stranded for hours if you don't have someone who can quickly get the flat tire patch kit you left in the truck! Bicycles by themselves can only do so much.
