Consumer Reports

Redesigned for the 2020 model year, the Ripmo V2 impressed our testers and is the best all-around trail bike we've ever tested. The Ripmo's geometry was updated to make it slacker and longer, and the suspension kinematics were adjusted to make it more progressive at the end of the stroke. This long-legged 29er was already a confident and capable descender, but now it feels even more composed in gnarly terrain and stable at speed with improved big hit performance. Short chainstays keep the rear end sporty, and it's just as lively and energetic with responsive and precise handling. The V2 maintains its incredible climbing abilities with the efficient DW-Link suspension platform, a steep seat tube angle, and very direct power transfer. Superlatives like "quiver killer" come to mind with the Ripmo, as this is one bike that can do it and do it all well.
The Ripmo V2 is an excellent aggressive trail bike with an amazing combination of uphill and downhill performance. This bike makes a lot of sense for the rider who wants a bike that climbs well without sacrificing any performance on the way back down. This bike is supremely versatile and we'd recommend it to just about anyone.

Redesigned for the 2020 model year, the Ibis Ripmo V2 is even more impressive than the original. The head tube angle has been slackened to 64.9-degrees, the wheelbase lengthened, and the suspension curve tweaked for more progression at the end of the stroke. While those changes may sound minor, the new Ripmo is notably more confident and capable in aggressive terrain and at speed. Despite the geometry changes, this bike maintains its mythical climbing abilities, excellent low-speed handling, and maneuverability in tight, technical terrain. The DW-Link suspension provides a calm and stable pedal platform, excellent small bump compliance, great mid-stroke support, and the increased progressiveness is noticeable on bigger hits. We think that Ibis really hit the nail on the head with the V2 as there was seemingly nowhere this bike didn't perform well for our testers. Whether scrambling up a steep climb or charging down a descent, this bike was comfortable, composed, and intuitive. Our testers aren't always on the same page, but it was easy for them to agree that the Ripmo V2 is one of the best bikes they've ever ridden.

Check out a transition sentinel, ripmo AF, norco optic, evil offering. I'd look for a full suspension 29" bike with like 120-150mm of travel, that would be fun on easy trails and still rip a bike park, and give you room to progress to those trails that seem scary, but would be way more fun on a new bike. I'm about 6'3" and 210, and at your height you'll want a 29er for a trail bike definitely.

Hi all,  I've got a big boy job now, and I'd like to upgrade from the same hardtail XC that I've ridden for a decade.  I'm 6'4", 250 pounds, and 99% of my riding is trail riding with my wife, with a few flow trails thrown in - but I just moved pretty close to some great lift serviced runs, and I could see myself getting more into that in the future.  Zero interest in anything super intense though (or super techy, for that matter) - I just like going for a ride in the woods and sometimes going zoom in the woods :)

I've never ridden a full suspension bike that's the right size for me, and I've only really spent a couple days on a 29er - but I've got years of time on my shitty little 26" hardtail and I'm pretty comfortable on it.  I really want a full suspension - it just seems way more fun.

I know it seems silly, for me to have spent so much time riding all over the world and not know this, but I really don't want to get into the gearhead culture that seems to be required to buy a bike - I'm a gearhead in a million other things, and I don't really have the brainspace to handle that here too, so I'm really hoping y'all can point me at like 2-3 options (or there will be a consensus, ideally) and I can see what I can get in my part of the world.  I appreciate any advice you can give - I'm also happy to swap (I LOVE shopping for music gear).

I think basically - I'd really like to get a Camry - i.e. something that's not flashy, that's not outrageous, but is solid, is comfortable, (gets good mileage, if we want to stretch the metaphor) and will work for the next decade, because it will never die, and if it does everybody will carry parts.  Want to stay away from carbon, because of the maintenance and I don't care about weight (I'm fat anyways, a couple pounds of frame isn't going to matter when compared to the abuse it can take).

I'm in Montreal, open to used/second hand (would prefer it, really) and have a budget of up to about $6k CAD/$5kUSD.

I know there are shortages, but I'm hoping if I start looking now I'll be able to find something for the 2022 season - but I don't even know what to look for - help?

Need buying the 'Toyota Camry' of XC bikes

 Finally, the medium Optic has a wheelbase of 1196 millimeters which is dead average and doesn't draw back or make the bike excel based on geometry numbers. It's clear Norco wanted to make a bike that's meant for throwing around and being playful while exceeding expectations on gnarlier trails For a bike with only 125 millimeters of rear travel, this model, being the C2, has some mixed specs for the price of five thousand dollars. The most important is the suspension, which Norco specs with a Rockshox Pike Select Plus in the front and a Super Deluxe Ultimate in the rear up front. The Pike is nice to have, but I would like to see an ultimate tier fork on this type of bike, especially with its aggressive trail bike mood

 Massive vertical mountain near us. Everything else was perfect. We've established that this bike is very playful, but how does it feel on bike park style flow trails? Let's take it to Doothy for a free ride test. Oh, that lip has gotten ruined

 The most important is the suspension, which Norco specs with a Rockshox Pike Select Plus in the front and a Super Deluxe Ultimate in the rear up front. The Pike is nice to have, but I would like to see an ultimate tier fork on this type of bike, especially with its aggressive trail bike mood. Since the travel ratio is different than most other bikes, the Optic gains a unique feel. The main discovery this led me to was that this bike can feel like a hardtail or a capable all-mountain bike

Norco Optic Bike Review

 (light happy music) Like All the other bikes at Field Test We're using Control Tires. They're from Maxxis EXO+ casing so, fairly sturdy tires. Tire pressure at 21-23 PSI Both Kazimer and I weigh the same, 155 lbs. So, we can ride the exact same suspension settings

 I definitely was on a little more of a knife edge on this bike,. if you mess up there less travel, there's probably less traction, you know, than something more forgiving,. So, just something to note, yeah. Now The other thing we already talked about it, those resin pads and rotors, this bike deserves something better,

 Tire pressure at 21-23 PSI Both Kazimer and I weigh the same, 155 lbs. So, we can ride the exact same suspension settings. In the back, 30% sag and we're on a large with a 480mm reach. So its pretty roomy

 We Live in a place where it rains a lot, so for me, I would have to swap out the rotors and the pads if I purchased this bike. - Now The bike is speced pretty well for how much it costs, carbon frame, obviously they have to save money somewhere, the cockpit, it looks pretty cheap. - Kinda Like that house brand stuff they used to have, its just not as great, it works fine. - Doesn't matter, it works fine
