Wow....that's bleeding edge right there!
I'm still trying to complete my dream build on the SL I just got a couple months ago.

 

[swimmingskibble]

+1 for an X0 build. I don't want x9, and can't quite pony up to an XX or XTR build quite yet.

 

[kestrel242]

That would be very welcome news if the RPL became available with the Kashima coat, but Fox tends to treat that one like the red-headed stepchild of the family.

 

[Iwan]

Anybody placed an official order yet?

 

[mugen939]

Yes, I just placed my order yesterday. I was going to buy am asr 5c but the features on the sl-r were just too awesome to pass up.

Ibis SL-R prototype build

Here's how we run our test bike.

XTR Shadow Plus RD, MRP Direct mount chain guide, Praxis single ring 34t with a 10spd 11-36 cassette.

It's working great! Sub 24 lbs btw.

The RPL won't come with the Kashima, since it part of their Performance family. The Factory RP23 w/ Adaptive Logic, RP2 Remote, DHX Air 5.0 and DHX RC4 gets the coating.

Need to get fit enough so I can run 1x10. Love the clean look

Isn't it too much the havoc bar for a trail bike? I would rather go for an haven C :thumbsup:

 

[mugen939]

Dumb question, will I be able to use my raceface next sl crankset if I just get a new bottom bracket??

 

[nurseman]

Were any of you guys holding out for the 29er until this bike came out?

 

[hanssc]

Checking..... This might take a few days....

Yes, you will be able to use it. It works with the Shimano press fit cups.

Have ordered my large orange and will get the Cane Creek Angleset to go with it, but that's the total planned build. It's going to sit on the wall of the garage till my Mojo Carbon dies. It is 3 1/2 years into it's happy life, about 11000km on the clock and is loving life.

So why order something you don't need or want to sell-on? Aussie dollar is strong and US is weak; simple economics. It may seem very odd when the SL-R is the 4th 140mm Ibis in 5 years, but I think this is going to be a keeper frame. No matter what happens to components in the next 2-3 years, the SL-R will remain perfect for where I live, for what I ride now and will want to ride in the future.

$1.20 by June - please please polease.....

Who can we ask to make this a sticky?

 

[buggymancan]

On a side note, anyone have the actual weight of the WTB Bronson 2.3 tires?

 

[salmansp]

On a side note, anyone have the actual weight of the WTB Bronson 2.3 tires?

Standard folding 2.3 @ 635gr
TCS 2.3 @ 785gr

....on the scale....

2.3 Bronson folding with a little rubber cement and Stans makes a great rear tire for S.East on the HD
