Field Test Review: 2024 Ibis HD6 - Sporty and Smashy
@borisimobike: my FB was a medium as well, i'm 5'10". The S2 HD6 is almost exactly the same size but i decided to go with a S3 which is slightly larger. I think it was the right choice, the HD6 feels just a maneuverable as the FB and totally comfortable.

Field Test Review: 2024 Ibis HD6 - Sporty and Smashy
@tuskenraider: I think he really means the 2019 FB, the first gen with 29" wheels, Ibis and pivot have always shared a lot of design elements due to the use of DW, in my opinion Ibis took the newest DW layout, that is common to the G1 FB and made it significantly better. Much more attractive to me than the V2 FB 29

Field Test Review: 2024 Ibis HD6 - Sporty and Smashy
you are correct from 20' away! I cashed in my 2019 firebird for a HD6 and to me this is what the V2 29 firebird should have been. 1) room for a water bottle, 2) mullet, 3) better fore/aft weight distribution = better cornering, easier climbing 4) no superboost, 5) threaded BB. A definite improvement in my books!

@AddisonEverett: I don't believe this is how the weight distribution is normally analyzed. yes if you shift your body weight around you can load the front up more but in terms of FC/RC influence it is your weight loaded through the BB. No matter what the reach is when you are in a neutral stance you want your weight through your feet and not your hands so you can think about standing on the pedals and just touching the grips to steer and not tip over. The weight distribution can then be analyzed as a balance beam with two lever arms (FC and RC) and a fulcrum (BB) the longer reach = longer leaver arm = less weight at the end where the front wheel is.
