I have been demoing alot of 29ers lately and really enjoy the ride. If/When Ibis comes out with one what would you like to see?

Here are my suggestions.

5" Full Suspension with geometry designed around a 130mm fork.
6lb frame weight
Tabs for a command post
Tapered Head Angle
142mm x 12mm Rear
69.5 Head Angle
Integrated BB for shorter chainstays.

I just it don't think it make financial sense to make a carbon DH bike right now. I have a feeling it is in the works, but a 29er will be like the HD. It will be backordered and sell out when it is announced which is great for Ibis.

I know for a fact a 29er is coming but I have no clue what it will look like.

To say you know for a fact is a pretty bold statement. Do you work for Ibis or have a strong connection? Personally, I am with you. I want Ibis to build an XC 29" that I can race with. Something that will line up well against the Spec. Epic.

Actually it is a fact. I spoke with the guys at Ibis during there demo and they said they are working on a 29er, although they don't have a release date, plus Hans has stated on this forum that a 29er is in progress.

I'd rather see a true DH race bike! Take more of the learnings from the HD apply it to what DW knows from the Iron Horse Sunday and produce a killer DH bike with the Ibis touch!

bike parts and shuttling is getting more and more popular these days and the HD isn't really the answer.

4" full squish, lockout on the rear

After riding a few I've been sorely tempted to sell my Mojo Sl for a SuperFly 100. However the GF continues to have problems with frame cracking and the SL is much better on the descents.
So if I were placing an order it would be for 4+ travel in the rear with full lock out (old RPL), matching front suspension, same geometry (or a steeper HA with more rake) as the Mojo. I know there are a lot of hard tail fans but the versitility of full squish would make this a great distance/endurance racing bike.

re. Mojo 29er, What would you like to see?

HD inspired limbo chip compatible frame for a 100mm travel race setup, or a 120-130mm all mountain setup. 18" max chainstay length....shorter would be even better if possible. Of course, tapered steerer and rear thru-axle is a given. Clearance for Nev 2.35's and WTB 2.5's.
