I actually think I like the e-ibis...
Don't get confused between ibis and ibex.

Actually did a partial disassembly of the Dreadnought last weekend after a very muddy ride and discovered no crap on the shock whatsoever. The upgraded mudguard seems to do a pretty good job.There are so many bikes now with the shock mounted low and directly in the path of all the mud and debris thrown from the back wheel and yet no one is making guards to prevent all the crud hitting the shock.
Mondraker have been doing it for years with their zero suspension platform, even they had a guard, albeit it was so tiny that I wonder if it did anything...
Is there some sort of conspiracy between bike and shock manufacturers?
But think of the MASSIVE ADVANTAGES of the lower CoG!!!There are so many bikes now with the shock mounted low and directly in the path of all the mud and debris thrown from the back wheel and yet no one is making guards to prevent all the crud hitting the shock.

Easy mistake to make!Don't get confused between ibis and ibex.
Nature is a beautiful thing...Easy mistake to make!
I don't see the similarity myself.Easy mistake to make!
I'd prefer a dropper post but it looks like a hoot. Would love a go on one (without lycra).One for the Lycra whippets:
First Look: Cervelo's First Mountain Bike is a Race-Bred Hardtail - Pinkbike
Given Cervelo are owned by PON, I'd expect it likely isn't - however you could pick up something similar with a pressfit BB and the same geometry for 1/10th the priceI'd prefer a dropper post but it looks like a hoot. Would love a go on one (without lycra).
Wouldn't mind knowing if it's actually a unique frame to Cervelo - or just a rebranded catalogue one you could pick up online for 1/10th the price....
Good article on NSMB on this sort of thing: Will Internal Cable Routing Sanity Prevail? (nsmb.com)Frame look gorgeous, but has headset routing, blerg.
Short version, vote with your wallet. (...and e-mail the company and tell them why if you can be bothered)Good article on NSMB on this sort of thing: Will Internal Cable Routing Sanity Prevail? (nsmb.com)
I figure if I'm going quickly enough to get the aero benefits of routing everything through the headset, then I'll have a mechanic to do all this for meShort version, vote with your wallet. (...and e-mail the company and tell them why if you can be bothered)

Milan Vader is the rider Jumbo are looking at for this.This would be a cheap path for Cervelo to support a Jumbo Visma XC rider/team? Ineos has Pidcock, PVP is rumoured to be going to a bigger road based team. Maybe with the Discovery / ESO takeover and the apparent prevalence of 'crossover' riders at present there will be some more interest from the big road teams, at least on the XC side.
i.e. surely they don't think they'll sell enough of these to be a commercial product line
I wouldn't suggest that anyone at Cervelo did any real 'development' work on that hardtail. Looks much like a chinese catalogue frame I had about 6 years ago so probably not much expense for a company like that to release a hardtail to market at a stupid price to validate a brand name on a team rider's bike at events.Personally, I can't see Pinarello developing an MTB for just one rider
Don't disagree, I think its a catalogue frame they put a threaded BB shell onI wouldn't suggest that anyone at Cervelo did any real 'development' work on that hardtail.
