    Please join me Monday evening, February 24th at 8:30 PM MST here on UA-cam for a live stream where we will answer any questions you have about the new Ripmo and just hand out! If you've never tuned into a MTB yumyum live stream, here's your chance! They're always a lot of fun. We go into much greater detail about my time on this new Ibis Ripmo and discuss any questions you have! See you Monday evening!

    I got my Star Destroyer Grey Ripmo just before Xmas and I’ve only had a couple of rides, but I’m blown away by how well this thing rides. It climbs and descends so well and is such a comfortable bike to sit on and pedal.

    You are hands down the best mountain bike reviewer on UA-cam. I love how in each video you start with a short clip of you riding the bike before getting into the review. That hooks the watcher. Then I love how you conduct the review while riding the bike. You talk about climbing while climbing, descending while descending, etc. Your skill brings a lot of credibility to the table. And lastly, the wrap up at the end if each video is great. Solid format. Great job!

    Jason, you should try riding Fezzari’s La Sal Peak! They are a smaller bike company, here in Utah, but they make some insane bikes. The La sal peak is very similar in numbers to the ripmo, though some people thinks it is way better. Would be interested to see what you think of it. Love the videos, thanks!

    Great video bro! Still think the Revel Rascal is hard to beat or right up there. New Ripmo numbers and tune puts it up there though. Old Ripmo for a bigger guy was just to harsh like the SB130 was. Ripmo v2 and Rascal are top runners.

      Yeah, my top three right now are probably: Ibis Ripmo V2, Evil Offering & Revel Rascal for do it all everyday not matter what trail bike! For those with less aggressive riding or more mild mannered trails, the Ripley with a 140mm fork could also do the trick!!!

    Great review Jason, so, this bike comes with Assegai front and back? That's interesting. Would you say the small bump (7:50) is sort of VPPish? Glad you pointed out that Ibis kept the price point unchanged, that is great. Your demo does look top of the line but it doesn't seem to have the X2. This is the bike I've been waiting for and when I got word a few weeks ago I was stoked. One point that I think that was missed:
    I may mention this if I get to your live stream - the chain stay protector. I was hoping Ibis would have engineered/copied Santa Cruz chainstay protector. Specialized sort of copied that on the new Enduro. I say that because many of the current Ripmos have the protector not staying on very well and not keeping the bike quiet. One more question for you, and its a big one, you getting a new bike, ha!

    A year and a half ago everyone was extolling the virtues of the Hightower LT, so I bought one to get back in shape on after I got out of the hospital from a major automobile accident, only one lung left. Jason, I know you've had a Hightower and you and I are about the same size, would it be worth the expense to retire the SC HT LT and buy a 2020 Ripmo?
    - Is it another world or just a small increment better?
    Jason I appreciate your input.
    Where I am it's next to impossible to go ride other bikes, that's why I bought the HT LT based on a ton of video reviews, website reviews and forum feedback.
    Everyone called it the Quiver-killer and it's treated me right.

    • @mtbyumyum

      Yeah, that last HT LT was a good trail bike for it time and honestly, it has a more playful character than the current Hightower with the lower link shock placement... that said, the Ripmo is better everywhere.... no comparison.

      @@mtbyumyum I rode my friend's Ripmo and found it more flexy, twitchy and harsh yet with a lazier feel to the pedaling in that I didn't feel the energy transfer efficiency was up with the HT LT, probably due to the flex I felt.
      I'm over 200lbs.
      I recall thinking back to when I bought it and had to choose between the Ripmo & HT LT and being glad I chose the Santa Cruz.
      It hurts to see Santa Cruz has left their snappy handling XC-like bike ethos for what now seems to be mostly downhill designs.
      I was hoping Ibis had made major changes for the better, especially in terms of stiffness but it sounds like it's about the same except for the new slacker head tube angle so I'll probably stick to the SC HT LT non-flexy-flier

    Hey Jason, coming at you from good ol' Denver. Probably similar trails to your home trails and great job as usual on your video. So I'm the classic Ripmo vs Ripley conundrum and will tune in to your live feeds (thank for your time btw) but some questions...
    1. Ripley w/140 Pike Ultimate and 2 wheel sets vs Ripmo also w/ 2 wheel sets
    2. What's the complete build on those light weight carbon wheels you have (rim brand/dimensions and spoke number) cause I think you laced them to 240's
    3. How do you like the carbon KS LEV? Durable, etc?
    4. Thoughts on DPX2 vs DPS factory on the Ripley (I'm 185lbs)

    Great review! Digging your format, content, and delivery - commentary is very on point! This is contentious but you're a match for height with me and that's an increasingly rare thing. How do you find the Ripmo 29 for center of gravity teeteriness? Is it distracting or limiting when at full seat height? I'm on a V1 Bronson and hope you could compare Ripmo against 2019 V3 Bronson? My backyard is chunky eroded off-camber Canadian Shield so small bump sensitivity and stability over techy creepy twisties with a lot of off-camber and square ledges are important to me. Concerned 29er CG teeteriness, flex, and slower spin up on start / stop could negate roll-over benefits vs. 27.5. I would tend to stick to aluminum wheels simply because carbon are sooo expensive. Thanks and keep up the great work!

      No, I don't think the ripmo could be built up under 27 lb. It would be very difficult... I previously owned a Rocky Mountain Instinct that had until top extremely life like yours. It was incredible trail bike. The ripmo is more composed and stable coming down hill and still maintains that Lively playful characteristic that you get from the Instinct. They climb about the same...

    Great review as always Jason! What are your thoughts on a comparison between the Ripmo V2 and the SC Hightower V2? I'm thinking of a short to mid-travel 29er and am all over the place b/t the Ripmo, Hightower, Ripley, and Tallboy v4. Probably just need to listen to your advice and ride them all!

    • @mtbyumyum
      @mtbyumyum  4 роки тому +1

      Yeah, ride them all if you can. The Tallboy was a lot more fun than the Hightower... the HT for some reason was only good at high speeds in rough terrain... The Ripley was the best climber of the bunch and the Ripmo climbs about the same as the Tallboy or maybe even better..... Good luck!

    Hey Jason. I keep hearing that the Ripmo V1 isn't plush. I'm considering a used demo that a local shop has and am curious if I should be looking elsewhere if I want a little more compliance. I don't mind feeling the trail, but I don't wanna feel beat up over a long ride with lots of small bumps/roots etc. Don't think I'll be around for the live stream so thought I'd ask here.

      Manny, you are one of my long time sub's as I remember. Thank you!!! I've never thought it to be any more harsh than any other bike... I rode the new Swithblade and Ripmo back-to-back 2 days a go... of the 3 bikes, the Switchblade was the more harsh of the 3. As for a demo bike.... I would never recommend anyone to buy a demo bike.... they are often times ridden more in 1/2 a season than you would ride it in 3 seasons.... I'd buy new or used from a person you think was a total shredder.... a dad sort of guy who only got out once per week or something... demo bikes get hammered... and I wouldn't believe what the person selling it to you says... call Chris at salt cycles and get a better deal on a new bike or click the link in this video to Competitive Cyclist and get a good deal

    Hi Jason. Good review as always! 👍 I have already written to you a few times in the past. I am from Quebec, Canada, and I have a Rocky Instinct BC Edition 2018. I will change bikes in 1 month, and I chose the Ripmo V2. I hesitate between medium and large. I measure 5p10, I am always between the medium and the large. On my old bike, I had the medium and I find that it lacks reach. the top tube length is fine, but when I'm standing on the bike on a rocky descent, I run out of space in the cockpit ... On the Ripmo, there is 460mm of reach instead of 431mm on the Rocky. ..Do you see a real difference between the two bikes at this level? Because if the difference in reach is minimal, I'll go for a large one. I just don't want a bike that I'm going to feel too long in turns, technical uphill etc ...That's why I'm hesitating between the two .
