Yeah the 425mm rear centre just might be something to do with that…

Same stupid shock set up spec uses.

The raw, primitive, unrefined trails that see little to no maintenance are the kinds of trails that really build skill. What kind of skills do you learn riding a trail that was made by a machine, groomed to perfection and void of any rocks, roots or other obstacles that could send you careening over the handlebars?

Nope, Ibis uses a standard shock. They just turn the end 90 deg and bolt it into the yoke.

Great someone in the bike industry thinking of the customer who would have thunk it.

Fairly certain that rear end will fit older Mojos so still much relevant. Also this is not a HD3.

Do you have a push notification every time a bike with a rear centre under 435mm gets reviewed?

I hate it how my bike instantly rides like crap every time a new design comes out.

No. Wait. It still rides awesome.

Spend away early adopters! My chequebook awaits your rejected newly passe but still awesome bike!

Ibis actually seems pretty awesome if they're designing these things to be upgradeable. That's the kind of relentless "improvement" I can get behind.

Pretty much. I'm getting worried that the "short chainstays bro" circlejerk is giving companies that know better no option.

Which is why I doubt it. Maybe.

Besides people, I didn't say obsolete, I said passe'.
