IVA says all-round 29er trail bike theme
0:03
of saving weight on the whole bike teach
0:06
he was being dramatically steepened
0:07
dripped with XTR I'm chips from single
0:15
track magazine and this is the brand new
0:17
Ibis Ripley this is the version for the
0:21
third full suspension version the first
0:24
one that came out in 2001 was a soft
0:26
tail for those with long memories and
0:28
it's either says around 29 trail bike
0:32
it's 130 mile travel of the front 120
0:35
the back which is unchanged from the
0:36
previous version but Ibis has done a ton
0:41
of work into making this as pure a trail
0:45
bike as possible kind of inspired by the
0:47
longer travel ritmo which is like a 160
0:51
29er this is it's shorter and that in
0:56
the c2 this is a size large and it's
0:59
only actually 16 and a half inch sea
1:02
tube which allows you to run massively
1:07
also inspired by the ritmo Ibis has used
1:12
bushings on the lower pivots which don't
1:15
really move much they move sort of eight
1:16
degrees and kept bearings on the upper
1:20
pivots this has helped save weight and
1:23
there's a whole theme of saving weight
1:26
on the whole bike the whole bike without
1:29
shock size medium is five pounds and
1:33
Ibis reckons that many of their
1:35
competitors frames are near a six and a
1:38
half that's without shock
1:41
there's obviously room for a bottle cage
1:43
we have internal routing in terms of
1:47
geometry again that's been inspired by
1:49
modern more enduro bikes CG has been
1:53
dramatically steepened I've got my cheat
1:57
this is 76 degrees C cheap and the head
2:01
tube angle is sixty six and a half which
2:05
is a degree off the previous version the
2:07
mark three and yet I was has managed to
2:11
show them the chain stays the chain
2:13
stays at 435 the reach is massively long
2:18
now they've added 45 mil reach to
2:22
compare to the previous version which is
2:26
longer than the ritmo so really really
2:30
big reach here the large I'm cheating
2:33
here and the large reach on the large is
2:36
for 75 mil but thanks for the shorter C
2:41
tube like you could run a size large
2:45
with a 170 ml dropper post and still
2:48
have enough room so the idea is that you
2:51
will size based on what kind of reach
2:54
you want if you want a slightly shorter
2:56
more upright bike then get a medium if
2:59
you want a longer bike get a large
3:02
there's tons and tons of room this is
3:04
like a 185 dropper or something so tons
3:09
and tons of changes here the price
3:13
remains the same looking the suspension
3:16
more closely the previous
3:19
Ripley had little cool little eccentrics
3:23
in the frame but with this version it's
3:26
gone to the more standard links that
3:30
they have on the rest of the bikes the
3:32
HD 4 and the rip mode which just allows
3:36
the the bike to be sort of shortened and
3:39
brought in it also allows a longer
3:42
dropper post because the eccentrics were
3:45
starting to encroach on on the room that
3:49
the long dropper basis needed so the
3:51
eccentrics have gone but these new links
3:56
are in place and there's bearings on the
3:59
top ones that move a lot and then
4:02
bushings on the lower ones that don't
4:03
move as much everything else is pretty
4:07
pretty standard for a modern trail bike
4:10
boost one for right rear spacing this
4:15
bike is done in has been dripped with
4:20
xtr but there are all sorts of other
4:23
builds available from you know
4:26
reasonably affordable up to stupid you
4:30
can see this amazing color which is a
4:33
sort of gray blue light blue it's called
4:38
blue steel and the other color available
4:42
is braaap black i think they're triple-a
4:47
and the braaap so that's the Ibis ripley
4:51
new for 2019 it'll be out in shops about
4:55
the end of April Sabine chips from swing
