I have a 2022 Element, and it punches so far above its numbers it's ridiculous. I think Rocky is the best in the industry now.

Thanks for the review Mo! As for the balance point you mention. Where do you feel like you are on the bike to find that point? More toward the rear?

Brought a V2s in size large frame set here in New Zealand. Am happy with it. Wouldn’t need the swat box and 3mm of extra travel but each to their own. Also run a 170mm 51mm offset Lyrik Ultimate which would make the front end more slack.

I had the same issue with sizing. I was between the small and medium on the Ibis size chart, but the geo numbers on paper made it seem like the small would work best. I regret it, should have went for the medium. Interesting that others are feeling similar

@moandhannahtravel yes, Ibis support helped me out a bunch. I was getting really frustrated, having a lot of neck and back pain at first, but with a 50mm stem and a higher rise bar the bike is feeling really good. I prefer a nimble and poppy bike so I don't mind being on the smaller side. I'm 5'6" so pretty much max on the small.
@shasty3139 11 сағат бұрын
I'm pleasantly surprised how close your notes to the bikes (Instinct and Ripmo) are to PB reviews. Yes, they're more upfront about what they don't like, but the takeaways are still similar. Your want for a larger bike despite similar geometry to other bikes and difficulty to find the right balance point says a lot.
@moandhannahtravel 9 сағат бұрын
It's a really good bike! As soon as you spend some time on it the balance spot makes a lot of sense, Ibis bikes have always had a very unique ride feel which is what makes them so rad They are different! As for sizing, yeah it's tough, I like big bikes for sure!

Thanks Mo, Great review! Sizing is confusing, i’m 6’ & 32 inseam. my ripleyAF is XL (only bike could find in chaos covid time) with Stem 32mm and my saddle forward, it works good but i feel the bike is big on tech climbs.. if i purely go on reach, makes me wanna go XM size, but from your review I’m afraid might be to small.. where i live they don’t hold ibis bike :( so can’t demo, it’s a special order if want a bike

You would ride a large. Check out the TT length. The steeper seat angles change the fit and the TT length is more informative than reach for matching your previous bike fit.

Interesting thoughts on the sizing. A couple years back I was riding the Ripmo AF in XL and I am looking at getting the Ripmo V3 in a L because the geo numbers are almost identical to the old XL on the V2. Worried the XL will be too big of a bump though. I am like 6'3" and a 32" inseam.

Did you feel that the suspension setup took more time than other bikes? I mention this because I have one and it took some trial and error to get it perfect, but once I did it became phenomenal. Also, Pinkbike just released their review and didnt like the bike very much at all. Obviously they're better riders than I am, but I have to wonder if they didnt find their personal sweet spot.
@moandhannahtravel 8 сағат бұрын
Suspension set up didn't take too long, its more so you need to spend some time on the bike to find the balance spot because its not as intuitive right away. However as soon as you learn how to ride it it's insane and makes so much sense! Can't speak for them but yes you have to spend a bit more time initially to reap a lot of awards long term!

The fact that this frame can be built up as a longer travel Ripmo or a shorter travel mullet Ripley really sets it apart. As a shorter 5’6” rider that seriously doesn’t see the need for 160mm forks on 90% of my trails. I think I would lean towards the Ripley.
@petedog9581 20 сағат бұрын
Rocky Mountain did the shared frame deal w the Instinct and Altitude until this year. They redesigned the Altitude to be a full-on enduro ripper now. It was smart to separate the 2 lines for 2025. We shall see how it works out for Ibis. It usually indicates a company is cutting back on R&D when they merge bikes. Spesh did it w the Stumpy 15.

Great review and nice riding. PinkBike sucks. They act like bike snobs who cater to racers rather than riders. The Instinct is as good as any bike out there to pin flat corners and high speed berms.

If you compare this review with that of PB, they're actually not that different. Instinct seems to have active suspension with easier access to travel. It's just that PB reviewers care a lot more about mid-stroke support than probably most people.
