RAAW Madonna V2.2 frame first look!

I decided a bump I travel was needed for some of the trails I ride. This will give me more margin for error and safety. I was definitely sad to say goodbye to the RAAW Jibb, but stoked to get this frame built up and ride it before the the trails descend into winter mode. Let me know what you think and please ask any and all questions! Happy trails!

How has the fit been in your experience? I think in the video you said you are 6’3”, I’m 6’5” am really intrigued by the high stack height on this bike

Hi, thanks a lot for the video, really helpful! I am also planning on getting a madonna. Do you know which angle set would fit this bike and its head tube length etc? Is the bottom bracket a threaded one? and is the rear derailleur hanger a universal one? Thanks a lot.

Apologies I missed this comment! I like the Works components headsets. You can order direct from them in the UK. BB is threaded yes. Yes the derailleur hanger is universal

Hey, Great video. Curious how you're liking the Madonna vs the Jibb after riding? Are you happy with the trade? I'm leaning Madonna, but currently on a bike that is right in the middle of these two bikes and I wonder if the Madonna wouldn't feel like too much bike sometimes?

It’s always nice to have too much travel than not enough. 😂 it does feel like a lot of bike sometimes, but there is no one bike quiver

Hi! Thinking to switch to raaw but don t know if i should go jibb or madonna. I have a DH and an enduro for the moment but I almost don t use the dh because the enduro does it all maybe even better with the big reach and wheels. So i m thinking to go with a jibb + dh combo or madonna (with a shorter reach than my current enduro) + dh combo or just a madonna dream build. What do you think? I m more a gravity guy but I ride a lot of chill trails and my current enduro feels a a bit too long for melow trails…

Honestly the Jibb is as heavy as the Madonna give or take. If you want a zippy trail bike, then the Jibb with some faster rolling tires would be my preference.
