Consumer Reports

Ibis recently did a complete overhaul of their flagship 29-inch wheeled trail bike, the Ripley. The previous version was our favorite short travel model for its energetic ride and unrivaled playfulness. The newest Ripley maintains most of that playful demeanor but is now a much more well-rounded ride with enhanced downhill capabilities and far greater stability at speed. This is thanks to the Ripmo-inspired frame design with increased reach and wheelbase measurements, a slacker 66.5-degree head tube angle, and a steeper 76.2-degree seat tube angle. The Ripley still encourages pops and trailside hits but no longer has a speed limit. It's also far more confidence-inspiring in steep and rough terrain, though it remains limited by its modest travel numbers.
The Ripley is a very sensible trail bike for a considerable portion of the riding population. This lightweight ride is equally talented on the climbs as it is on the descents. It has unmatched versatility and is the best all-around short travel bike we've tested.

 Yeah like the the amount of force that you need to push down to get it to go down is like incredibly light. Um the thing is fast. It's like it was flawless during custody and it really really really impressed me. Ibis has pulled off something that Hollywood has been failing at for years

 I Had to like scrub my speed a little bit more than I did on other bikes, but that was only in like kind of a chunky stuff. I Guess it's interesting because this is you know, things have very much been modernized here. We got a 66 and a half head tube angle 76 degrees C tube angle a very generous reach measurement. We rode the Excel which was what five hundred you know reach

 EOC post is another 170 bucks and I was so impressed with that thing to have. That bike you can see post is so good it's like zero friction. Yeah like the the amount of force that you need to push down to get it to go down is like incredibly light. Um the thing is fast

The Ibis ritmo is one of the most versatile bikes on the planet, and in updating the Ripley Ibis may understandably have wanted to nudge it onto the writ most turf. The Ripley does now share the ritmo silhouette and linkage, but did that cost it the quickness that we've loved about it all these years? We took it at Tucson Arizona to find out who. So check it out. there's a new Ripley ya believe

Ibis Ripley Review - 2019 Bible of Bike Tests

I'll throw my hat in for not overbiking just because trendy bike salesman say the same thing to every body as well as a nice little vote for the Ibis Ripley if climbing and efficient traversal is a concern of yours. If you wanna stick with 27.5 wheels another decent option is the Giant Trance, can even get them used for cheap, with the Fox & SLX configuration. Also, if you ever wanted a carbon frame and wheel bike, one of the cheapest ones you can find is the Trance Advanced, both new and used

I’m currently riding a 2015 Devinci Django carbon 27.5”, lowest model with NX components. My local New England trails are majority xc style single track but covered in rock gardens and roots where there is as much technical uphill as there is down hill. I’m not big into bike parks so the only times I find myself getting airborne are launching off natural trail features.

I asked around my local shop for suggestions based on local conditions and they recommended bumping up to a bike with bigger suspension and 29” tires, preferably a mullet configuration. They recommended either a Bronson or Stumpjumper EVO. I don’t want to make a mistake purchase, does anyone have experience with 150/160mm travel bikes in more of a cross country setting or have other suggestions? I prefer a livelier bike that I can throw around and have fun on as opposed to a long, low, stable speed machine (I spent a good amount of time on a Orbea Occam and was not a fan, the bike feels like it rides itself). I was thinking about going with the Stumpjumper EVO, sizing down to an S2, and keeping it set to the steepest and highest settings. I’m worried about how much climbing ability I’m actually going to lose. I’m seeing YouTube reviewers talk about climbing ability but they all appear to ride at trail centers with dedicated fire road style climbs as opposed to the single track climbs that I see

Looking for a good quality mountain bike. I’m unfamiliar with brands in general as this would be my first bike since I was a kid. Budget $2000-$3000. If carbon fiber costs more then that’s fine.

Trek Roscoe. About the same pricing and same components as the grand canyon. Just got one for my wife yesterday who Started mountain biking.

Roadie here looking to get into MTB after already getting into gravel.  

Sorry, I know questions like this have been posted before. But just looking for any new input since most of the posts I found in search refer to 2021 or earlier Model Years and it seems like new tech/bikes/builds come out practically weekly.

Looking to spend not more than $1500 or so. Riding around where I live is probably split between "Trail"/"XC".  Probably a more "trail", but gotta climb everywhere.  Ideally also looking for a bike that I won't be itching to spend money to upgrade components. (I know nobody "needs" to buy upgrades, but come on... we know what we are...)

The [Grand Canyon 7](https://www.canyon.com/en-us/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/grand-canyon/grand-canyon-7/2617.html?dwvar_2617_pv_rahmenfarbe=BU%2FBK#all-components-section-tab) comes in around $1300. SRAM SX, Dropper Post, Judy Silver Air Fork. Not sure how Canyon works, but on the Canada site the also list a [Grand Canyon 8](https://www.canyon.com/en-ca/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/grand-canyon/grand-canyon-8/2619.html?dwvar_2619_pv_rahmenfarbe=GY%2FRD#all-components-section-tab) which I don't see listed on the US site.   Looks like the upgrades from the 7 are SRAM SX to Shimano Deore 12, and the Judy fork to a Fox 34 Rhythm.  Price converted to USD is just over $1500. That would actually probably be perfect for what I want. From what I've read SX and the Judy fork are "okay", whereas Deore and the Fox would be a definite step up. But, I don't know if I can actually buy it.  Canyon Canada also gets a [Stotic 3](https://www.canyon.com/en-ca/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/stoic/stoic-3/2660.html?dwvar_2660_pv_rahmenfarbe=GY#all-components-section-tab) at about $1400 (converted to USD), wheres the US site only lists a Stoic 2 ($1200 but 10sp &amp; no Dropper post), or a Stoic 4 ($2000= more than I want to spend).

The other option I see around is the [Polygon Xtrada 7](https://www.polygonbikes.com/product/mountain/xtrada-7-4/). Their US dealer BikesOnline has it around $1k. Comes with Deore 12 and thru-axles. But the fork, Suntour XCR32 Air, (from what I've seen online) seems to be a bit of a let down. Though not sure if it would feel like that to me, who's used to rigid road bike.  Also it isn't  15x110 spacing like the Canyons.  So any Fork upgrade I assume also means you need new wheel/hub as well. The Xtrada also has 27.2 seatpost and doesn't come with a Dropper. So, $1000 upfront, but get a Dropper (what are they like $150 give or take?) and it inches closer to the Grand Canyon7 in price while not having as nice a fork (but does have Deore 12). Not sure what a fork upgrade would cost/if there are any Forks worth upgrading to that would have the same 15x100 spacing.  

As an aside, what does it take to upgrade from something like a Deore 10/11sp to 12?  Just cassette and adjust the Deraileur?  Or do you need new hubs, Deraileurs, shifters, etc?

Anyway, apologies for the wall-o-text.  A bit bored at work here on Friday and maybe I got a bit carried away hahah. Thanks in advance for any input!

Edit: Canyon basically said &quot;That&#39;s rough buddy&quot;. No potential option to buy the Stoic 3 or GC8, unless I meet a friendly Canadian who be my bicycling smuggling mule.

Edit: Have been convinced to stay away from SRAM SX. Have ordered the Xtrada7.

Is there a better "budget" MTB out there than the Grand Canyon 7 that is available in the US?

Just got the bike a couple days ago and today (July/9/2022) I went to Culham Trails in Mississauga and had a blast. 

I would buy the bike again

 My only complaint of the 2021 Roscoe 8 was that the front was a little heavy. Other than that, great bike! I think the 2022 model will be even better. 9/10 would recommend.

 I have taken this thing to downhill parks and 25 ft+ jumps. Really sturdy bike. My only complaint of the 2021 Roscoe 8 was that the front was a little heavy. Other than that, great bike! I think the 2022 model will be even better

Roscoe is an extremely good bike
