Strengths: Great strong frame, Not heavy at all like everyone says,,, its 5.5 pounds!!! i havent seen a carbon fiber FS bike thats equal to that weight,,,Weaknesses: rear shock is not that good of quality, ive got to get mine rebuilt already cuz its not holding air after a certain PSI., its not that great of a climbing bike...Bottom Line: my bike weighs in the 25 to 26 pound range, and im sure with lighter components i could get that easily down to 21 - 22. it handles excellent, it's very responsive and takes anything i throw at it, i have never had a problem with it. the clearance is all there incorporated into the frame, it has a nice big cutout so you cant rack yourself if you come off your seat.
i think that any rider would quit before this bike ever will.

Strengths: Well balanced frame, good climber, even better in the downhill, good sealed bearing pivots and solid construction, good looking bike, and a great value with excellent customer support from Ibex.Weaknesses: Little heavy, low mud clearance and Ibex’s quality control needs work (My frame came with a bent derailleur hanger and a faulty Rock Shox Bar rear shock. As soon as I contacted Ibex about the problems, replacement parts were in the mail the next day.)Bottom Line: I bought this frame to build up as inexpensive second bike, and I have been impressed so far. I have ridden it a half dozen times myself and my friends use it almost every weekend. At just under 30 lbs, it’s a comfortable all-day climber with good downhill qualities.
I would recommend the Apogee Frame to any one who is looking for a good frame at a great value.
