Ibis Ripley 29er

The Ibis 29er has eventually been announced. It is the Ripley 29er and it is a flooded support organisation that features 120 mm of DW-Link travel.  Ibis has been working on this organisation for the last threesome eld and has had to excogitate and re-invent individual things in the process. Rather than simply coming discover with 29er edition of the Mojo or the Tranny, Ibis went long and came discover with a completely newborn design. They felt that the 29er mart was getting progressively packed and they desired to come discover with a special 29er, commendable of the Ibis brand.

One of the organisation objectives was baritone weight and that crowd key parts of this project. They desired to hit weights in the baritone 4.5 lb arrange so they pursued a organisation that was simpler, device and took flooded advantage of directive bounds technologies. The hunch of the system is the anomaly pivots that change the Lopes Links institute in the Mojo designs. These pivots ingest Norglide bearings (look same plastic fiber) and they enable free, precise shitting of the side support arm. They spend 130 grams compared to the Lopes Links.

We are intrigued and agog to center most this stylish creation from Hans Heim and the Ibis team. We’ll learn a aggregation more as we intend to see and mate this intense pupil in the hills of Santa Cruz, CA.

We’re ease looking for the hardtail 29er Tranny though :)
