Jeff Kendall-Weed just headed to Costa Rica to find out about La Pura Vida.
In the words of Jeff: "I thought this was just a gringo phrase, to be printed on walls of airports, bar napkins, and cheap t-shirts, but it turns out locals really do say this every day! And after three days in the country, I can see why! With an itinerary of a quick three day trip to the small Central American trip, I gave movie maker Logan Nelson a call, as well as photographer Eric Mickelson. We headed down to the tropics right in the middle of the rainy season, and therefore, with zero expectations. And what we discovered was amazing- a truly robust enduro community!"
Watch as the Ibis Enduro team takes on the mountains in Olargues, France.
The linkage assemblies on the Ripmo are designed to be easily serviceable. Once every season, you should disassemble your frame, check all components, and replace wear items as needed.
This video walks you through the disassembly process. We have an assembly and bushing service tutorial available here: https://youtu.be/lOU7mwek00A
If you feel uncomfortable performing the work yourself, we recommend heading to your local shop for service.

"Flowing" a trail means finding motion and grace even when things are slippery, steep, and unpredictable. Vancouver, BCs north shore is infamous for its trails that are exactly that. Unable to ride the bikes of the time on the rugged terrain, riders began to build bridges over the gnarled roots and jagged rocks to simply get down the mountain. Even with the woodwork, the trails are still a challenge today!
Early this winter, the Ibis Cycles Enduro Team descended on Santa Cruz, California to visit Ibis HQ, meet new teammates, and begin testing a new long travel 29er codenamed the Ripmo.
The 2018 Enduro World Series made its second stop in South America in two weeks, this time in Colombia. The Colombian mud was quite a contrast from the dry dusty conditions of Chile. The Ibis Cycles Enduro Race Team now sits on top of the overall standings, and Robin Wallner has moved into second overall in the series. Congrats to the team!
The 2018 Enduro World Series is underway. The Ibis Cycles Enduro Race team went to Chile and came back with a podium (Robin Wallner) and two career best performances by our riders (Robin and also Bex Baraona). After round 1, our team is sitting in 3rd overall.
Jeff shows off his riding skills in this video, shot over a few days in LA with The Radavist and crew. The Ripmo seems to agree with Jeff!
The week before we launched the Ripmo, we invited dealers and distributors worldwide to come to Ibis HQ in sunny Santa Cruz and learn all about the new bike. We wanted the Fanatik boyz from Bellingham to feel at home, so we ordered up a heaping helping of rain. They came, they saw, they filmed, they rode, they got wet, then they produced this video.
