Frame

The new Ibis Ripmo 29 is an amazing starting point. 145mm of DW Suspension is efficient uphill and competent down. Ibis' uses a top tier carbon frames across all of the factory builds.

Suspension

This client updated to the Fox Factory Kashima options front and rear. The Fox 36 Factory Grip 2 fork is the latest for 2019. This fork features external Hi and Lo speed compression controls, similar to the previous RC2, but has Hi and Lo Rebound in addition.
