You guys are really comparing odd bikes. Switchblade vs Ripmo. Ripley vs 429.

Yeah, shoulda been SB vs Ripmo V3. Hard to compare 130/140 with aFox 34 to 142/160 with a Fox 36.

This is like comparing a Mustang vs an Expedition and a F150 vs a Fiesta.

I have been considering/comparing these two bikes. I love the IBIS redesign and it’s definitely more modern plus I completely agree with wider i35mm rims for running 29x2.5-2.6” tires. On the other hand, the Pivot has the reputation of being a more refined frame, almost custom designed. I completely agree with the super boost for stronger wheels and stability for longer travel (approaching DH bikes) Either way I would probably be happy with either one.

Pivot is more expensive and that super boost spacing is just annoying. Ibis all the way!

Better colors w/ Ibis too. Although I currently ride a T429.
