Newly Released Bikes General

[Asininedrivel]

I can't work out how to link to it but Ibis's Instagram page has been teasing sneak photos in celebration of their 40th anniversary this year.

It might just be a new colour scheme, but if it isn't it a) has an X2 and b) doesn't look ebikey, so might be a new Mojo or Ripmo HD...?

Ripmo - Cole Lucas is riding it in the EWS:

Well spotted. Wonder if it's just a commemorative colour or if there are... other tweaks?

Looks cool either way.

New Jekyl, high pivot and looks like some tech from their DH prototype has made it through:

I could appreciate it if literally anyone other that Cannondale built it.

Same, I am conflicted, it’s nice but it’s a Cannondale. Also why didn’t the shock guard fully enclose the bottom of the shock. Looks like it would gather a bit of gunk.

The new Jekyll has paid for itself with Mitch at the helm, there's some serious talent in that kid

So the Jekyl starts at $6500 with Deore and so so parts but not a bad entry point when a Dreadnought frame is $5500. But Cannondale.

I think someone not directly employed by Cannondale built it. So it should be ok.

Not worth the risk. I'd also need badging removed.

That looks like pretty good value in today's market. Plus it looks like they actually have stock.

Yes Cannondale, but it's a bit porky so it (probably) won't break. Also the paint schemes:

Interesting to see a RS/Shimano and Fox/SRAM split in the spec, usually SRAM seems to railroad you into speccing suspension and groupset together.

Yeah really smart spec on the Jekyll 2 huh. Almost like the Cannondale product manager actually rides bikes and didn't want any of that Sram NX dogshit stinking up the place.

Let alone SX..

I reckon SRAM are lining up something special to replace SX/NX, at least they should be.

Yes PX, its a tier below SX and is made of paper. Thats the only way SX could be any worse.

They should call it FX, as they give zero of them.

Warranty is very wordy, lots of get outs or that’s how I interpret it
