Absolutely incredible bike! Climbs as well and is as lively as a Tallboy, but also big enough to tackle anything you throw at it on the way down. If you're looking for a bike that can easily handle everything from 4,000ft ascents to 10ft drops and 20ft gaps, definitely check this out! Hands down the best bike I have ever owned, and only selling because I am looking to move to a more fully downhill oriented bike. Priced to sell! https://www.bikemag.com/gear/mountain-bikes/review-ibis-ripmo-gx/ https://enduro-mtb.com/en/ibis-ripmo-review/ https://www.pinkbike.com/news/review-ibis-ripmo.html Some specs: Rear travel: 145mm, brand new 2022 Fox Float X2 ($800, 3 rides on it) Front travel: 170mm, Fox Factory 36, Grip2 damper (I also have the original 160mm air spring, if you'd prefer 160 to 170) Brakes: Magura MT7, 200mm front and 180mm rear Tires: Maxxis Assegai (29x2.5 front), Maxxis DHRII (29x2.4 rear), tubeless Dropper post: OneUp Components, 240mm (I also have a 170mm dropper if you'd prefer less drop) Bash guard / chain guide: OneUp Components Protection: downtube protector, Ridewrap full coverage Drivetrain: SRAM NX Eagle cassette/derailleur, SRAM GX Eagle cranks/chainring Wheels: WTB i25, 29" The frame is basically in perfect shape. The little nicks in the photos are actually just in the Ridewrap frame protection. There are a few small scratches on the fork, but they have zero effect on performance. Some of the paint is gone under the downtube protector, but that isn't visible. I had the carbon there reinforced as a precaution by Calfee Carbon Design (10 yr warranty, longer than the Ibis frame warranty). Happy to answer any questions!

Fun and versatile all-rounder hardtail! Bought new in July 2020. Great for ripping around on technical singletrack, flow trails, and also set up for bikepacking adventures, with ample space for multiple water bottles and frame storage. Built for riders who want to get out, have a great time, explore, and push their limits. (Plus, it is the most incredible shade of pink! Beautiful!) I've ridden this and had a great time on everything from green/blue trails, black downhill trails, 5,000 ft climbs, long snow rides, and everything in between. A few small paint chips and a scratch on the bottom of the downtube. Scratch on the chainstay behind the chainring. (See pictures) https://www.salsacycles.com/bikes/2019_timberjack_slx_27.5_pink Upgrades: SRAM Guide T brakes (200mm front, 180mm rear) for more stopping power Fork travel set to 150mm to slacken out the head angle and make it more capable on bigger trails 200mm dropper post to get the seat out of your way when you're pointed downhill DYEDBRO frame protection Maxxis DHRII 27.5x2.8 tubeless tires keep things plush on the trail and give great traction on the way up and down 35mm Deity Copperhead + Spank Spoon 60mm riser bar puts you in a great riding position (can also switch for a shorter rise bar or a longer stem, if that suits you better)
