Paul, I've done 200 miles of the Colorado section of the GDMBR with my Hunqapillar when it was set up with fenders and 50mm Duremes and did just fine (even better now with the fatter, far more supple Thunder Burts). Much of the GDMBR is FS roads, so washboard is the big factor (mud down in NM depending on rainy season) and some jouncy rocky roads, but really not much or bad. I don't know the Jones Plus from experience, but my Hunq did great and I've done far more challenging bikepacking trails with it yet (Colorado Trail and Continental Divide Trail sections).
