surely if rims or spokes or hubs bust you have to get crank Bros stuff i.e. can't shop around for third party stuff surely!

put some more "quiet" wheels on it and sort the grav dropper cable and it'd be ok

lopes used it in that event where the frech killed everyone, some kind of enduro dh event i think.

its 160mm rear travel with 67 deg head angle with 160mm fork, can use up to 180mm though.

its all on pinkbike.

cheers slowrider i like what ibis do, i'm sure the big boys will all start making 'all mountain/freeride/whatever' frames from carbon and it really can't be to long till hill, blenkinsop etc are hauling on carbon bikes.

Horrendous cable routing but otherwise very tasty!

it does have proper stops for the seatpost cable, this is just a proto they are showing off. I was a bit gutted when i saw this having bought my mojo only a few months ago, but then it will be over £2k and my mojo was 1350 ....so I can take it!
