Dude your the guy who taught me how to ride a bike last year, like I said before after 3 weeks of riding a mountain bike after watching your videos, I was jumping 15 feet gap jumps, and shredding downhill fast Enduro free-ride at breakneck speed around burms, huge steeps and all the other craft you have to learn to ride in all different positions, speed on the bike etc. Then it was suggested to me that I have a hidden talent even at age 49, and to buy an Enduro bike. Three weeks dude after one bloody video "Alexander stand up to the jump, and relax to." So thanks mate, you took me from a beginner biker to intermediate biker after three weeks, many injuries in that three weeks to lol. That's the Beauty of adhd, lol. So now over a year later I'm pushing up to advanced level. I have two bikes. My favorite being the 2021 Maroon colour specialized status 160 mullet. If you ain't ridden it yet I suggest strongly you do, it means business on the front-end and a party at the back end. Lovely imbalanced dragster feel on the back end as the smaller 27.5 wheel bounces around burms and flat corners. The back smaller mullet wheel sends you up lovely into the air as you leave the ramp of a dirt jump, it even gives you a mini whip to without you doing the trick. The 29 inch front wheel is like pacman devouring everything in front of it, the 160 can take massive hits and asks for more massive hits to, it's like the rocky balboa of mtbikes in that it can take a real hard beating and still be fun also. Great video. Thanks mate.

I've been riding, building, optimizing and improving mountain bikes since 1981, and for decades no one sold a bike I wanted off the shelf. A couple years ago I bought my second (since 81) off the rack bike, full carbon top of the line 29er. Except for changing out the stem, tires and saddle it's perfect. I guess it's good I don't care enough anymore to design my own bike stuff, because I don't need to. The tech to do so has advanced so much too.

I get it though. in-frame storage adds weight, so does the bigger shock and using the same frame for the Ripmo (i assume to save dev. costs.) The previous gen Stumpy weighed less than the V4S and was 130/140 and had in-frame storage. I'll probably stick with my V4S. Do not need the extra travel and I prefer the less steep head tube on uphill switchbacks and less weight.Looking forward to a 120 Exie.

Great to hear your comment about the front wheel lifting on steeper climbs, that was an issue for me too, even with the saddle slammed, super glad to hear that was addressed! I love my ripmo af, but it took a custom suspension tune, a cascade link and 30id wheels to get it there. These seem to fix some of the suspension/progressivity issues, but I still wish there was an adjustable angle headset. Both the ripley (which I ran as a 140mm fork on my af, lending it basiclly the same geo as this iteration) and the Ripmo are so insanely versitile that having that adjustability can make either one of these bikes a one bike solution... so I guess I can appreciate why they kept the geo static haha

The new bikes came out 2 days after I bought the spur, so I would have like to ride the ripley:( but thats the way it goes. Thanks for the updates, looks like the xl for a 6’5 rider would fit nicely.

The thing about a long reach is once your arms are locked out straight, you don't have anything more to work with. Then top tube and seat angle don't matter. Even you, at six feet, preferred the "extra medium." Bikes keep getting bigger and serve small riders less and less.
@TheLoamRangerАй бұрын
To be clear, I went for a size large Ripmo for my own personal build, and tested the extra medium Ripley because that's what they had on-hand. I found that for my exact proportions, the size large with a 35mm stem and the extra-medium with a 50mm are my two favs. It all depends on body size and riding style.
@tagzedawgАй бұрын
@@TheLoamRanger That's fair, but it doesn't change the fact that bikes have gotten too big for small riders. A 440mm reach on a small and claiming that's good for a 5 foot rider is absurd.

I’ll start off with… great video as always! But what I need to say is… I CANNOT STAND MARKETING TALK “Size specific chainstays” “Steeper seat tube for taller riders so its balanced” “Size specific kinematics” Chainstays are 2mm different per size. Basically unnoticeable. Maybe the seat tube helps with balance between the wheel’s while seated. But when you stand up… it is no longer balanced at all. The reach might feel okay when seated, but then you stand up and it’s massive, with a short CS, you will just understeer. And size specific kinematics? Well, no shit? If you change the BB per size and use the same rear triangle and just pull the mounts back on the front triangle. You have to have slightly tweaked kinematics. It would be refreshing for a bike company to be transparent and say, “due to costs, we use the same exact rear triangle on every bike, that why the geometry/kinematics are a compromise and not dialed.” Just imagine if every front triangle was the same size, and the rear triangle changed extremely drastically per size? Everyone would be saying it’s ridiculous. Why can bike companies not afford to have size specific frames? Front and rear triangles?

I had my Ripmo V2 literally less than two months and they came out with the V2S. Because of the cable port for Shimano derailleurs on the V2, the shifting sucks. They corrected it on the V2S because they knew it was a design flaw, among other corrections like chain line etc.. They would not admit it was a screw up but didn’t offer a solution to their buyers, except to buy a new bike. And now they are doing it again. Not everyone buys a new bike every year when they release a new model, especially when they know they were the problem. I will never buy another Ibis product again. Sorry, once bitten, twice shy.
