@zarban: The rear travel is measured vertically, the front is measured along the axis of the fork legs which are at an angle. The travel of the longer fork is close to the same as the rear when both measured vertically. That's why we often go with a little more travel in front.

Way to go Sam and Mary! Well done!!

There's an error on the XXL geo - TT length is 685, Stack is actually 651 on the HD6. We'll fix it!

@tadpoledancer: I absolutely wanted a badge in the beginning because I associate them with quality, but after over 100 trials of different material's (aluminum, titanium, bronze and nickel plated, we even had the guys that make Aston Martin badges work on a cloisonne version) we ended up feeling that the raised badge felt like it was from the past and the sleek 2 dimensional decal was more modern and integrated.

I love the old logo and headbadge too. That's one of the main reasons I was attracted to the brand, but these days we are dealing with legibility on the web, mostly mobile and need to be more obvious. Most people don't realize the logo is a bird and they don't know that an Ibis is a bird, so we're bringing it all together more clearly. The new logo works great with the word side by side so we can use them more easily that way now. We love the old branding and also proudly embrace the confident, modern and stable feel of the new.

@kabanosipyvo: Bought the TM from creditors, got Scot, Roxy, Tom and Colin together for the new team.

@Hayek: You're right.

@loudv8noises: The actual speeds on our custom Fox and DVO part numbers are 40-70% faster than full open on the regularly available parts. If you want to try it, they can revalve for you when rebuilding. Also, our custom higher speed tune is for the high speed circuits that open up when the speeds are higher or there are a lot of square edges. We actually recommend keeping a fair amount of low speed damping engaged in order to keep the bike calm. From reading many people's comments, I can see that there's a misunderstanding where they think we are advocating wide open on low speed damping which is not the case. Another thing that might be helpful for people to know is that smoother tracks with big jumps probably benefit from more high speed damping which is still available on our tunes. You can dial it back in for that familiar feel and open it up for a plush feel on the rough stuff.

@weezyb: The interesting thing is that the *vertical travel* is the same with 153 rear and 170 front due to the rear being measured vertically and the front being measured along the fork which is at an angle. So, when you ride it and push into the travel it feels perfectly balanced. The numbers don't match but the balance is actually right.

We know, and agree, but ended up deciding to round down to avoid using "29" which would probably be confusing, especially on the 27.5 version. We ask for the mercy of the rounding police on this one.
