This is how we make bikes in the USA!

[@AZHighlandHomestead]

Finally a great MTB company has the guts to bring bike manufacturing back home. Well done Ibis! Sign me up.

[@dub4205]

Guerilla Gravity?

[@AZHighlandHomestead]

@@dub4205 did GG ever have a factory overseas? It’s hard to bring it back, once you’ve built a business around a factory overseas.

[@dub4205]

@@AZHighlandHomestead As far as I know, no. Pretty sure theyve been doing aluminum frames since 2010ish, and have been doing US carbon since 2017ish

Thats amazing information about Ibis: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2mnppJumJiZerM

[@jasonkroll2735]

Yes..i would consider burying one if usa made.. Still doing these in usa. I gotta go check...

[@TheLoamRanger]

What I love about this, is you can see how truly excited each of the people on camera are about what they're doing. There's true passion there.

[@chillwill1083]

This makes me love Ibis even more. Love that you guys are leaders in this front :)

[@rolikx23]

I ride the 2019 Ripmo V1, amazing bike. i will buy for sure another IBIS if the frame is made in the USA!

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

[@CactusJackSlade]

Thank you all at IBIS so much, you are, and should be an inspiration to other companies out there. :-)

[@TheArsenalGoonship]

I cannot love this enough. I've owned 3 Ibis bikes and I've loved them all. Amazing bikes and what a great company!

[@DM-hw4cr]

It will Jack up the price by $2k if manufactured in the US.

[@scottmisplay5444]

@@DM-hw4cr Worth every penny to know its a USA bike and not manufactured overseas

What he said about the seat angle and wrist getting tired Is so spot on.

[@Oakdogg]

Just received my Ripmo v2 and couldn’t be more happy with it guys. I really hope this can all be done here.

[@cliffsangelsphotography]

I have a Ripmo v1 and loved it so much I bought a Ripley AF. I love Ibis bikes

[@SS-TX]

I love the story, I can't wait to get my hands on this new bike.

[@Mark2Roll]

Ibis rules.....always makes good bikes.for a life time....And that's what we want.

[@dano727]

Excellent ! I can't wait to buy my next Ibis that is Made In The USA !

[@_Schreintime]

Y'all made me a believer with the RipmoAF... I'm a customer for life now.

[@richmck007]

Bring back the mojo please! Nothing comes close in design to the mojo. I still have mines from 2007. And I still get stopped on the trails. For sure when I retire it, I will put the frame on the wall in my home as a memory of what I most enjoyed outdoors come rain come shine. Only the Leftie front fork by Cannondale is the other outstanding design in the world of mtb. If I had had money back when i bought my ibis mojo, I would have considered the Leftie as a way to reduce the weight even more. It has been done by someone, but man does it look ugly on an ibis mojo! Dave Winkl also had a great idea on that bottom bracket! What innovation. Long live the mojo! Long live female industrial designers like Roxy Lo.

[@martgree]

Uk starting to do this as well support your countries workforce and companies, very well done you should be proud to own US made!!

[@joejuan5022]

I got the OG Ripmo and I always wonder if ibis could do what GG is doing. Glad you guys are taking the first step.

[@joejuan5022]

@Kenneth & Bia yeah no doubt dw is better than horst link. I think although the baking part is different but feels like the precise carbon cutting and layout is similar

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

OG Ripmo clan

[@markmoreno7295]

Ok, I am saving up. I live close enough to Watsonville, I mean I sometimes volunteer for the Sea Otter. Can I buy direct? Or must I go through a dealer?

[@jltrack]

I would definitely buy an Ibis for my next bike if its made in the USA. Keep costs relatively the same and I’m game

[@dub4205]

That frame alone is 4500.....Check out Guerilla Gravity though, USA made carbon frames for 2k.

[@mtbsavant5414]

Boutique to a whole new level :)

[@singletrackmania1]

Fantastic, beautiful, exciting, inspiring but unattainable for most of us.

[@dudeonbike800]

Why? Think of your discretionary spending. You have none at all? If so, then ok. But most Americans spend on vacations or things they don't NEED, but rather want. Instead of flying somewhere for vacation, skip it and save for a new Ibis. Or opt for a used car instead of paying 20% more for new. With phones costing $1,000, a $5k bike isn't so beyond the pale. My XTR ti bike lasted me 23 years - and I bought it used (and way, WAY cheaper than the $4k new).

[@stlpkdeathryde]

Awesome!!!!

[@notpablo8369]

Can i fit 100mm fork? Exie aluminum when?

[@jamesholmes4110]

Does this mean Ibis can do carbon repair on their frames instead of just replacing broken carbon? That would be so nice. Please!

[@brakesforsnakes757]

I seriously doubt it, these companies are not in the frame repair business.

[@hammertime7740]

Repairing a carbon frame is a lost cause.

[@HowToGetMoreMetal]

Wow! Respect!

[@simonmajura]

Love it!

[@benspeer1752]

Where are your aluminum frames made?

[@everywherelocal]

yeah! 🔥

[@jimrutherford2773]

I'm willing to pay more if you build the frames in the USA.

[@mpowers1776]

Sweet!!

[@garysbraccia4980]

are any of the 2024 bikes made in the USA?? Ripmo??

[@IbisBicycles]

The Exie USA remains made in the USA.

[@sanangelo7926]

If all the companies had not sent everything offshore to squeeze every penny of profit then making items in the US would not be difficult today to get started back up.

the new SC blur is only 3399 with the sidluxe shock. Exie looks great but exy price wise...

[@andrewalseth1139]

I did an internship at a factory that made carbon fiber parts for the F-18 and CH-53. This is literally aerospace-grade manufacturing techniques (honestly, they look even better than many of the molds we used). I'm impressed that it's only that much, given the tools and infrastructure they have. But yeah certainly not cheap, but not out of the ordinary, for a race MTB

[@CODE-BROWN]

Aluminum would have been cheaper, more efficient and recycleable when its ready to be replaced.

[@DM-hw4cr]

But heavier. This is their race bike.

[@industryrule-4080]

On one hand, yay, US made frame! On the other hand: automation. Andrew Yang was right, y'all.
