Digital hippie any insider info for new Ibis dealer for Aus? Looks like Defcon is no longer doing Ibis and nothing listed on Ibis dealer page for Aus?

Great review by the way.

Saw this on FB today, read very well. Spoilt for choice with this and the HighTower

I think the hightower will be a better package with the 2 for 1 wheeldeal

Dunno, I cannot see myself purchasing a 2nd set of wheels of different size and a 2nd fork for a bike. The "chip" feature sort of future proofs the frame for a while unless boost148/110 is superseded.

Is this Ibis's answer to the Hightower?

hehe I kinda wonder who it is too, borrowed kit and all! The Ibis guy was shocked - 'you even wore clean clothes!'

Not sure what the situation is re AU dealer, was news to me. I'd guess Ibis will get it sorted ASAP.

No need to purchase a second fork, just run whatever tires you prefer on the one 741 wheelset. Swapping tires every now and then is as far as I'll go on any bike. Swapping forks and wheels - probably just have a second bike instead if $ allowed.

Hmm in as much as it's 27.5+ compatible, yes otherwise quite different in approach. Ibis talk about why the bike isn't 29er based here:

There is a Mojo 3 currently in Oz for review purposes. Medium, XO1 werx build. Waiting on more info on availability, specs for Oz, pricing ETC. OTE sports / Melrose, SA will stock them.

Ah, OK. I thought it may have been doing the 27.5 + and 29er thing when I read a headline yesterday.

 

[Ivan]

This seems like a much better idea than the Hightower.

27.5+ tyres are turning out to be much closer to 27.5" than 29", and boost forks can easily fit bot 27.5 and 27.5+ tyres.
