First Ride: The 2022 Ibis Exie is Made in USA & Ready to Race
I have been an Ibis convert since the first carbon Mojo. Since then I have bought the Ripley and Rimpo sight unseen and without a test ride just based on the pre-sale news and test rider comments. They have never disappointed me. Ibis is fanatical about getting it "done right" .
Yes, this is a very expensive frame: On one hand people cry about keeping jobs and manufacturing in the USA.... but they don't want to pay for it. You can't have both.
Kudo's to Ibis for even attempting to do this (mfg in USA) and I can't wait to get a test ride. I probably won't get one, I don't race any more I am now into the bigger travel bikes, but still, I would like a test ride!

Tested: Does a Lockout Actually Make Climbing Faster?
One BIG flaw in this review is that they did the test seated. A seated test will be much different than a standing test. Seated I can get minimal bob on even my squishiest bike but will definitely have more bob standing.... and that IMO is how this test should have been conducted. Personally I only lock out for long smooth climbs, I want the increased traction on anything less than smooth.
