Anyone any thoughts what it might be? Certainly [b]isn't[/b] a 29er Tranny.

29er mojo hd?
Doubt it they've got the Ripley 29, probably a 650b.

Judging by those decals? Can't imagine it's anything else frankly.

The above pictures are just a montage of Ibis' bikes from the past to the future.

Ibis 650b conversions are hugely popular. If you have a look on MTBR theres hundreds of pages about mojo 650b conversion. Maybe they took the hint and made a model specific 650b?!

2pure have knocked 25% off the HD today. 650b HD-R out Monday is the word. Should be a 29er Tranny at some point too.

This wouldn't be a huge surprise, but given that they couldn't keep the Ripley secret and it had a protracted development, they've done well to keep anything else under wraps.

Hans asked owners on the mtbr ibis forum a while ago what people would like to see next and a 650b rear triangle to retro fit to the HD was mentioned a lot. If it is indeed a HD 650b I'm guessing it will be more a tweaked HD rather than a new design like the Ripley. Looking forward to seeing it.

Edit. Holy I'll speak to my LBS again tomorrow and email you what they say if you like.

My uneducated guess is 650B HD with internal cable routing and reverb stealth cable routing.

D45yth is right about the photo. Only bottom right (black and yellow) is new.

Glad to hear about 25% off HD's - I picked up my new HD 160 last week! I have no interest in 29ers so didn't see the point in waiting. Wish I'd known about the 2pure deal.
