DREAM BIKE BUILD 🤯 Ibis Ripmo V2 - BKXC Bike Check March 2020

[@AndrewMoradpour]

I appreciate the transparency with sponsors/purchases!

[@Iwasthewalrus]

Forreal...respect

[@GeeMilner]

not bad that! Shame we couldn't have filmed it together.. maybe once this is all over.. we should!

[@Mercury_EG]

Bro, between the bike and the recording gear you're gunna need to ride with a solar panel attached to your helmet! 😆😆

[@murf003]

Super Gadget Guy MTB soon

[@ryker1725]

That be sick

[@markkligerman6861]

That Thompson stem looks like a boat anchor. Keep the Raceface.

[@christopherwilcox4995]

Mark Kligerman agree!

[@filipmotocan1802]

Yeah, raceface looks much better

[@gideondejager8007]

fully agree

[@jacob_mtb3667]

Couldn't agree more

[@johnw3131]

And the grand total for this masterpiece is approximately $11,200

[@geovanyavila2610]

😭🤯

[@johnw3131]

@Quaid Griffin yeah I added up all the stuff and it was that

[@Lalokera0629]

I dont think he paid full price.

[@SsmAnyfeSt]

@@Lalokera0629 Well, maybe you can just watch the video and be sure about it?

[@GrumpyOldMan70]

$11,660, according to the numbers he posted.

[@newcomer9360]

The cranks cost more than my entire bike lol, such a sick bike man, congrats!

[@bhuuthesecond]

Why? What's the spec on those cranks to make them cost that much anyways? I'm genuinely curious about them.

[@slopestyleer5160]

@@bhuuthesecond High-quality titanium is REALLY expensive because of it's light weight and durability

[@bhuuthesecond]

@@slopestyleer5160 Very interesting. Why did Brian go with titanium cranks rather than carbon cranks? Isn't carbon even more durable and lightweight?

[@slopestyleer5160]

@@bhuuthesecond Because if you get one crack in carbon cranks(from bashing them on a rock for example), then they're ruined and dangerously fragile

[@bhuuthesecond]

@@slopestyleer5160 Ah I see. True.

[@jtphotography0]

I'm staring at that oil slick cassette and chain

[@OayxYT]

ikr, i need it

[@ofiros396]

thats a great way to spend your money! im sure you will feel difference! honestly im a sram hater i just think any sram component is a waste of money unless you only care about the looks

[@Leo-dv1ur]

of course you wont really feel a difference between xo1 or axs... same with xt or xtr

[@mmatthews5029]

The Oil Slick X01 shifting is perfect!

[@Conormeyler414]

SRAM xx1

[@TheLoamRanger]

Twinzies! Sick build man. I can now say from experience just how good a coiled up Ripmo2 is, especially with the Zipp wheels. Like butter. Enjoy it. 🤘🏼

[@mtbgo7860]

Nice!!! I rode AXS last summer and words can’t explain how amazing it is. Install is a breeze and tuning is easy with micro adjustments. I had to only charge the battery twice in 10 months.

[@Montezuma0]

I actually like the Turbine stem over the Thomson

[@johncast9565]

Now I see why you can only afford off the $1 Menu at McDonald's.

[@slopestyleer5160]

Good joke, but he didn't actually spend much on this because of all the free stuff he got

[@KestrelYI]

ONYX HUBS! I love a man who loves silence! Rolling through the woods and just hearing the tires in the sticks and dirt is a wonderful thing. Really looking forward to your videos on this thing, man! See you on the trail!

[@gregorypatzelt6964]

Omg 🤤 that thing is beautiful. So lucky to have Ibis as a sponsor, they currently make some of the best bikes. You got the coil as well in the back and the axs wireless shifting, that's the best bike set up you can get. Nice man!!!

[@dcouture79]

Sick build man! Good call on the King headset. I had Canecreek on my Bronson and it kept making noise. Swapped to the King three years ago and 1,000 miles later it’s still perfect and never made noise.

[@TheMTBRider96]

i'd definetely go with a siver i9 stem and One up carbon bar, that'd be perfect

[@oneillgatta5020]

Nicola Bergamo that’s exactly what I’m running, turquoise i9 stem and Oneup bars

[@brighamyates]

Love how you are open to what was free (Sponsored) and what isn't. That's awesome!

[@skyerains2754]

New bike means new progression challenge, that Maim Frame is in your wheelhouse . Nice bike, looking forward to hearing how the remote gears work.

[@justincouturier2466]

Lets go for a one up bar!

[@thewhistlerkid]

This is an e-bike bkxc style. So many apps and electronics and batteries! Congrats on the bike, can't wait to see some cool videos coming on it.

[@ltw707]

The stem and bars are locking soooo nice

[@ZephyrDavid]

Amazing bike! It will serve you well ! Nice Berm Peak backgorund. :)

[@S.Mallard]

The stem and handlebar are perfect. I would not change anything. Beautiful bike 👌

[@kurtpeterson6293]

What a bike! And great edit! I upgraded my wheels to I9 and shed 300 grams, made a huge difference to the feel, ride, and pickup. Love those eWings cranks, curious to hear more. And we'll all be riding wireless in 5 years once it trickles down to prices we can all afford.

[@2dcutout]

I'd go with the One Up stem and bar. I love having a multitool so accessible, and I put a Birzman tubeless repair kit (shaped like a CO2 cartridge) underneath. I also have Onyx hubs and love them.

[@mc540flip]

Wow! Congrats on New Bike Day!! That bike is beautiful Brian, nice build. Looks so fun💪🤘

[@Abravenewfear]

Stick with the RaceFace! And I have a funny feeling you’ll be doing a video on why you went back to Fox 😁

[@xanderman3759]

Brian IS the game changer...the bike is cool .... but you add Brian to the bike, then it's on a whole new level. Awesome to see your new bike man!

[@nateb3619]

I love my renthal bars and stem. the design of the stem makes installing the bars super easy. There is no worrying about making sure the gaps on the top and bottom of the stem are the same.

[@angellnathan]

That is a beautiful machine mate!! Super jealous!! Looking forward to a good longterm review on it!!

[@andrewgreenwood8727]

One- up components Bar & stem great combo ! 👍👌

[@LeiboSTi]

Super nice. Read all the comments. Only thing nobody mentioned would be to get the Problem Solvers mismatch things to clean up the cockpit. I have AXS shifter mated to a Shimano brake lever that way and it is much cleaner. I have ridden it hard and never lost a battery despite some pretty embarrassing hard wipe outs, janky rock gardens etc. shifts so well.

[@cparm08]

That is one of the cleanest looking bikes I’ve seen in my opinion. 🔥

[@emusp]

Wow, this is really a dream build. The onyx vesper hubs 🤯

[@mattym2233]

0:03 that’s what she said

[@adlar2005]

4:20 That's what she said

[@mattym2233]

Jaime Magana Pena nice

[@Redrush11]

You couldn't even get 5 seconds in

[@andylivingston4596]

Brian you made the right choice with King headset. I used to go through one a year tried everything. Then got a King had it since 2006. Changed grease twice. Truly fit a forget. Good choice. Not sure about Tyrewiz!! Give ‘em a squeeze!! Correct tyre pressure sorted!

[@crrico83]

The e wing is beautiful anda perfect balance of weight and durability. Really want that to be my next purchase.

[@seagulls4life12]

Brain the bike is sick! Nice choice on the cranks, they are atypical and give the bike a unique look. Ride hard and huck to flat 🤘🏼

[@jimkrug2586]

That's a sweet new ride for sure. Can't wait to see it on the trails!!

[@mtnhighs]

Never have had a problem with my Chris King headset and Enve riser carbon bar combo on my Ibis. Love your new ride

[@ShredReadyFilms]

Omg Brian. As the video went on I got more and more stoked for you. You are going to have sooooo much fun with this dream bike

[@ChrisJuliano]

Silver stem for sure! Matches the fork too!

[@John_D2]

Chromag bar and stem. Congrats , Brian !

[@riccoratzo]

The color of the frame is sooooo cool

[@jeff7086]

YES!! you will love the Onyx hubs. fantastic, and quite.

[@ryanrayburn1894]

Awesome bike... wish we got to see you ride it a little.

[@freerangemtb]

Holy crap! A full on AXS Eagle drive train STARTS at 1/3 of the cost of my entire bike. And my bike that I have now wasn't cheap! Neither is that seatpost. But those components look sharp, and the idea of a wireless cockpit is intriguing. I'm also pretty impressed with Worldwide Cyclery. Though I will always be a proponent for supporting LBSs, I say WWC is a great online place for parts. If my LBS doesn't have the part, WWC most likely does. And at a competitive price. They're also really fun to trade email messages with. They're chat support is great, too. Your new bike looks dope! Can't wait to get your impressions of it. Hopefully this Covid-19 thing will pass quickly and we can all get back out on the trail. As always, stay upright and keep the rubber side down! -Brian

[@royjaleco]

Wow! Congratulations, Brian!

[@allenkvextreme]

please make as many videos as possible from berm peak until the quarantine is over. we need you to brighten our days

[@SemiSendy]

Definitely a silver i9 A35 stem! I have them on all of our bikes. Silver will play nicely. I've been super happy with both the One Up Carbon bar, and the Santa Cruz carbon bar. Both incredibly impressive. This batteries make me even more nervous than you! I'm terrible with batteries. They are the bane of my existence in the film production world. I think you'll love the coil! I run the Cane Creek DBIL on my Hightower.

[@realitynuggets6204]

Siiiick build. Looking forward to your take on Onyx hubs. As for stem, in line with your Thompson aesthetic, I recently purchased a TAG METALS 35mm stem with their bars. I got tired of my Renthal slipping on occasion. The TAG stem is not light, but it has some really cool features, and I think it looks great. There is actually some chrome/metal accents on there that aren't noted in any of the product shots. Have fun with the Ripmo v2!!

[@perryirons1399]

I have bike envy! Anxious to hear how you like it!

[@sturdyvw]

@bkxc glad they hooked you up! Love you man, keep up the good work!

[@alvaroneto6893]

Awesome build. Probably everybody here's dream bike. Congrats, Brian. Cheers.

[@pdadv77]

Good call on the Onyx Vesper hubs. You will love them. Check out the OneUp Carbon bars and stem with the available EDC tool insert.

[@RyanMarcyesOutdoors]

So Rad!!! Glad to see you are doing well in the BKXC endeavors Bro. Been out of the YT Loop for a bit but I am trying to get caught up. Life happens,. Ohh and being Stoke to hear the Three Amigos are back together and kicking it at Seth’s 🤘🏽👍🏽🤙🏽 Live-Life-Loud

[@mattmitchell5320]

Hey Brian. I'm running a Deity Cockpit now and I love their stuff. Copperhead stem, and Skywire or Speedway bars. Come in every color imaginable, including a stealth grey.

[@codyhawkins9566]

Congrats on the new bike man! Nothing beats new bike day.

[@ejb82]

I must be honnest, I'l be missing the electric blue and orange from the previous bike!.... That one is nice too 👏😉

[@A.D.D.O.C.D.T]

I’m looking at a ripmo and like the blue and orange best. Good prices on V1 now ,not sure eh !

[@ChezzyDirt]

My vote goes for OneUp Components bar & stem! Sweet build , good dirt to ya!

[@lawmat93]

Dude that thing is sweet and that’s awesome we now have someone that’ll be totally honest about the new tech if it’s refined or not

[@RICHIE87622]

Dream bike!!!! I've just looked at stems! and apparently pressed stems rather than cnc billet are much stifer!

[@dirtydescendants754]

Nice ride Brian. Go for the OneUp Components Carbon Handlebar, new oval flex design to help absorb vibrations and reduce arm fatigue. Also looks great. I would also recommend revgrips.

[@davidc6032]

Personally, I love the 100+-year-old, turn of the century, mechanical aesthetic of bicycles. No motors, no electricals, just metal parts and legs. That being said, that is an incredible bike and I imagine it rides amazingly well.

[@mcscabby]

Yeah man, we all need to escape! You are the first stranger I started following on KZbin, back in the day when I saw your Blue Derby vids and you were so genuine! That place has really taken off now, you should get back there when you can. I’m happy to say that you have maintained that ethic and your riding skills have really developed as well. I am looking forward to your really honest, Everyman review of all the new components, especially the new wireless derailleur. I am going for a ride with a couple of mates (that’s buddies for you in the USA💜) tomorrow. We will be heading out on a nearby trail, weather permitting. I know we all need to #stayathome, but, we still need to be together for our collective mental health. I am torn between not going out and going riding with trusted friends. Are we doing the wrong thing.? ....These are strange days indeed. Hats off to you Brian. I really look forward to watching your contributions, especially when I am doing a Zwift ride. Keep it up if you can .

[@bkxc]

Thanks for the nice note, dude! I definitely need to get back to Derby and see all the new stuff.

[@trailcrawlerpr9648]

Man thats a sweet looking bike! Sick! The cassette and chain...😍 Congrats on the new bike!!!

[@jaredgulaga8367]

Wow, Bryan! What a build! Those E Wings are beautiful. Love your wheel choice too.

[@tannerbryner3808]

Get a full Deity cockpit. Copperhead stem and which ever bar you prefer, the stem you can get matching the color of the dropper post collar too.

[@alphamech9283]

Congratulation on the new bike!! love everything about it. enjoy and stay safe!

[@kenny_kaos]

I’ve had a CK headset on my Bianchi San Jose and previously my track bike before that so it’s at least 10 years old and still going strong!

[@bryceridesbikes]

Industry nine stem is my go-to. I am also a fan of the One Up carbon Bar. Just like people say about those rims they actually have a ride quality difference!

[@jakoballes4882]

Renthal bar and stem wood be sick

[@Kevin-ex2yb]

Thanks for the videos. Makes the quarantine a little easier.

[@calebjohnson7264]

Diety copperhead stem in silver would look soooooo dope on that bike.

[@willbros1499]

Wow....straight for the highEST end build! I will be interested to see what you think about a few things. 1) The lower BB height of the V2. 2) The more linear ride of the coil vs the DPX 2, and if you will notice a difference on the technical climbs and getting power down. 3) The total weight of that bike I think the slightly more rolling resistance of that tire combo, the more linear coil, and the total weight of that bike versus your V1 will have you feeling a difference on the climbs. But....it should absolutely RIP going down with that setup!! Oh...and that Lyrik is amazing. No way you're going to regret not going with FOX on that.

[@lucas734]

That bike is extreme! Love it! Enjoy riding with it!

[@robieosborne7369]

@1:21 Better plug up that cable routing. I see how you ride through mud! xD

[@Dorkbike]

I9 stem in back with silver face, that would look pimp on this pimp bike. Congrats on a new top notch rig.

[@Dorkbike]

Clear frame protection would be nice too, but being a sponsored frame, maybe not?

[@stevenowen6636]

Now all you have to do is clear all of Berm Peak with that sick build!

[@johnnyrc9304]

Renthal, Spank, and Deity all make excellent cockpit parts that are both very functional and steezy. I think there may be something to the Spank vibrocore bars, though it’s not earth shattering, but I do notice it.

[@neufisch718]

Now with the confidence of a new and awesome bike you can go for that skinny jump! You definitely will have enough time to try a couple of times😉.

[@gogovitch66]

that is definitely a dream build :D I digg (besides the frame) the Zipp, AXS, TireWizz and cranks so much!! I'd just swap the coil for air, bar/stem combo for OneUp, clipless for flats, tires and brakes for other brands. But this is really personal taste too! Nice rig, man! Enjoy it!

[@ertanveli2247]

Damn Brian,that is one sick bike , just can't wait to see new video!

[@tgchannelmtb7231]

That thing is soooo good!!! Congrats Brian!

[@chrisdafish418]

That is an awesome bike! Please lmk when you are coming to NJ because It would be really cool to ride with you!

[@Gamebit450]

Star Destroyer Grey ! Now that is a name!!!!!

[@cliffsangelsphotography]

Awesome bike! Im glad you've joined the darkside of Onyx Vespyr hubs. Instant engagement and absolute silence is amazing! Now you'll be able to show you're true power of techy climbs. You should get a coil conversion kit for your fork; go full coil setup. And do Race Face stem. That Thompson is hurting my feelings

[@jpxc1329]

For stem either get a joystick stem or even a joystick bars there really good or even a one up bar and stem for the EDC

[@parkerkiewit3109]

Dang bike looks good! My suggestion for stem and bars would be a deity or industry nine stem, and any carbon bar works the same just depends on wether or not you want a flat bar or riser.

[@greenerwoodsmedia7332]

Get the PNW bars too! I love mine! And get BIGGER ROTORS for those brakes!

[@mikebussart2575]

Sick looking ride. Cant wait to here how the new suspension does for you.

[@djjmann]

Yep, thats a dream build for sure! Wow man, talk about stepping up the game!

[@headoverbars8750]

As an Android developer I can say that the wireless stuff is definitely going to be the way of the future. , the AXS system is already so reliable I can't wait to see how it works after you put it through its paces! Sweet bike! thanks for the non disease related content

[@magnifiresrealm]

You've had a fair share of nice looking bikes, but this is on another level!

[@vonrunner]

I think a silver stem would look pretty clean and tie into the dropper/cranks/fork graphics. Awesome build though, I've been really tempted to pull the trigger on the new Ripmo!

[@RubenD85]

sweet looking ride my friend. hopefully all this craziness will pass sooner than expected and we can all go out and ride haha..

[@bigjohnmtb]

Defo a Deity Copperhead stem in Platinum...awesome match to the post. Even had alook at there handle bars too.

[@micheandmikey]

Delayed by 3 weeks?! Oh man, you're lucky!!!!! I ordered my Ripmo on January 15th.... Fox Factory back orders caused that delay..... then V2 comes out, updated my order.... then COVID..... it's April 29th and I haven't even seen a tracking # yet..... feel lucky bro.... feel VERY lucky!!! Sweet build man!

[@james9wood]

Your new bike is sick. Totally jealous.

[@LuisManuelHdez]

Nice build. Enjoy the new toy!👍

[@PlayGamesRideBikes]

Goodness, what a machine! Have fun on that beast!
