Hardtails just are so versatile. The genres are less defined and allow more freedom for their use

Hi. Congrats on your Raww v2.2. What is your question regarding the Acros?

Why not?

@@YanDoroshenko more wear on the shock. That’s literally the only downside to this bike in my eyes

Yes, I do have higher rise bars on some of my other bikes (75mm rise ProTaper bar on my townie!). I have settled on 35mm rise bars for the Madonna. Thanks!

Yessir!! 🎉

2mm, thanks.

Haha. I’m 6’3” and 90kg, so I’m biased towards more burly parts

Thanks for the observation. Luca. It's not leaking, I just haven't wiped it off in a while. A good reminder not to neglect a coil shock from the most basic of maintenance!

The high stack is so good! Coupled with the low bb, it’s a confidence inspiring feeling. You can bump up to an XXL in the v3 frame and you will have the best fitting bike you’ve ever been on.

I have owned both V2.2 and V3 in Medium and I would say the new one is definitely and improvement over the old. The biggest change is the kinematics, its a bit more progressive which means I can run a firmer coil for more bottom out resistance but not loose small bump sensitivity, plus the progression is adjustable. There is also more seat insertion which means I can run a One up V3 at 200mm where as on the v2.2 I could only use a 180. Its hard to say if the geometry changes are really noticeable although I no longer run any spacers under my stem as it has a bit more stack. There have also been some upgrades to the pivot hardware, I found the main pivot on the V2.2 to be quite creaky unless I rebuilt it fairly regularly, the V3 seems better from this perspective. is it worth the extra 40% cost hard to say. But I think they only have Small and XL left I the V2.2

@@jarrodhinwood Although I haven;t ridden the V3, I would take the newer, more refined frame over the older version if your budget allows. The V2.2 is fantastic, but the ability to try a mullet setup, coupled with even better durability and the longer dropper insertion are benefits I would pay for!

It's a full 29'er. You are correct, the V2.2 can't take a mullet setup and I haven't experimented with this. I'd love to get onto a V3 and try a mullet with the long chainstays...

Very well thanks! No mechanicals and the when the trail gets tough or opens up, the bike becomes more alive. I find packing light keeps it nimble

Nice. Hopefully my next purchase will be a torrent steel

@@scottzreality3061it’s such a versatile bike. You can fit 29x2.6” tires in it, so I run this as a winter trail shredder with 45Nrth Wrathchilds 🎉

Just got one!! $949 !!!

Thank you for the correction

And are a bastard to bleed!

Yeah. A strange issue for sure. Milling from a single piece of metal does see to be a better solution

Not at all! I ride an XL and am ~200lbs, so I'm on the end of the spectrum and may not have the same riding experience as others on a smaller frame.

​@@richcollumbine cheers, I ordered a large v3 and stoked to build it up this winter.

It had been perfect after a bike shop bleed and piston massage

Am having same issue got a 203 mount using a 200 rotor what you suggest

@ronnienewsome800 Sadly, you can't do much other than replacing the rotor to a 203. If you have adapter you can eplace it with a sram specific 20p.

@@LallerHU I have got a isis mount finding correct adaptor

Does sram have a 203mm rotor? I only have seen them in 20mm increaments

Yeah. The Raaw bike mount is fixed so it is too large. I am tempted to downgrade to a 180mm as the Mavens are so powerful

The bike store gave the brake a good bleed and no issues since

I'm having the same issue, do you now how much torque the caliper bolts sould be tighten at?

@@lucamontangero3493 tighten the bolts from the outside to the inside with 6,5 Nm. there ist also a service manual from sram!

I have seen online other people complain about this issue too

Its assembly compound dissapears after a ride or 2 there's now a warning on sram

I just went for a very dusty ride and there’s moist dust along the mated surfaces. The brake power and lever feel is still great, but I will be following up with my LBS

I was concerned about this aswell but seems to be assembly grease.

@@MrSupermugen Ah, interesting. From what I saw at the bike store,when the tech was squeezing the lever it appeared to be liquid coming out of the mating line between the two sides of the caliper.

Let me know if you still need these measurements and I can get them

Thanks @james!

This!!

Incremental changes to a well engineered machine!

Soon to reopen summer 2024!!!

@@richcollumbine I believe I just heard they reopened now.

It’s a large frame bag on an XL frame I believe. I’ll take a look and get back to you.

Yeah I’m fairly happy with the fit and the durability of the @revelate bags are amazing. I couldn’t find a company that made an off the shelf bag that looked like it would fit perfectly.

Sorry I missed this comment… I have actually moved up to a RAAW Madonna V2.2 purely for more travel. I’m still VERY happy with the geometry (tall stack, steep seat tube, long chainstay) of the Raaw bikes and would still recommend the Jibb. The V2 has since been released which has refined their design even more

@@richcollumbine thanks for getting back mate :) Good to know you're still keen on the Raaw bikes 3 years in. Must be good if you choose the same brand again. The Jibb is still on my next bike list for when I feel the need for more travel again. I ended up on a Santa Cruz Tall boy and thats a great bike with easy availability here in Australia.

Fantastic actually. I have 2.6” tires and I believe these help with the comfort on longer days

I use the bike for everything! I’ll take it down double black trails to scare myself and also pedal it all day. Even with some burlier components, it’s refreshing to ride a peppy hardtail after being on full suspension enduro bike

It’s always nice to have too much travel than not enough. 😂 it does feel like a lot of bike sometimes, but there is no one bike quiver

Apologies I missed this comment! I like the Works components headsets. You can order direct from them in the UK. BB is threaded yes. Yes the derailleur hanger is universal

Honestly the Jibb is as heavy as the Madonna give or take. If you want a zippy trail bike, then the Jibb with some faster rolling tires would be my preference.

Sorry I missed responding to this comment. Yes, they are an excellent brand, putting durability, ease of self maintenance and modern geometry straight into the hands of the riders

It is definitely more expensive than buying a comparable complete bike. I think this came in under $8k CAD

Mostly my local trails which are steep, techy and rooty. It was a tough choice deciding between this and the Madonna. If you are looking for a park bike, you may be better served by a Madonna.

Awesome! I'd love to see pics of it built!
