That was a fun read. I've had a few Ibises (Ibi?) and they tend to live very firmly in the trail category and must really be aimed at whippet-light quinoa-eating sun-kissed Californians. Even the HDs - while fun and poppy and relatively light - are overmatched by some of BC's terrain in the hands of all but the most capable riders.
Rolling up to something really gnarly would often elicit a WTF? from my Ibis, so it wasn't always a super willing partner. The new bike - bigger, more progressive geometry - is totally DTF on pretty much anything my courage will permit.
