Nice one! I’ve recently purchased an Ibis Ripmo V2s frame new here in NZ and switched over all my high end components of my old Trek Slash 9.8 frame. Unreal bike. Climbs super well and descends really well also.
Same here. I've been riding V2S for almost a year and I just love how this bike ascends and descends. Curious about the V3, but yes... maybe in a year or two. You may watch some footages of ripmo in action on my channel. Cheers.
@ I don’t feel the need to change. The new Ripmo would be quite a bit more heavy due to the swat box. This is pretty much the best bike I’ve ever owned to date. Noticed an instant improvement in my riding.
@@JJaguar333 it’s just my curiosity and the way V3 looks. I just like it but you’re right. I read quite often that people mention about V3 weight that it increased.
Hey Greg, thanks for the detailed bike check. Quick question about the shock... can it be overstroked to 62.5 or 65 mm instead of 60, or would that negatively impact performance?
Hey Greg, Nice Bike check! Do you happen to know what Tune ( Rebound and Compression)values the Vivid you ride has? Got a V3 as well and wouldn't mind trying Rock shox for a change.
Another great video. Just wondering about opinions on kryptotal and argotal in soft vs super soft compounds. Thanks. Hope to see you up Ticknock again soon
My perception about front end height is the exact opposite, regarding confidence and the fear of going over the front when things get steeper/rougher/faster. A lower bar gives me more confidence. I had the most attack confidence when I was running a zero rise bar with a 31mm stem and no spacers. It does lead to more fatigue though, and it's harder to pull up the front for jumping etc. For jumping a more upring position is definitely better, but for pure attack confidence a low or even very low bar just works.
Interesting vid! I like your theory on the rebound setting related to track. That makes a lot of sense. Do you do it from trail to trail in a race or set it up for the day and leave it? Also, what kind of range would you use? Are we talking +/- 1-2 clicks or a bigger range? Cheers! Great content
Hey Greg, I'm surprised you are not running a 230 X 65 Vivid on your Ripmo. Who knows, maybe you do and you didn't talk about. I run that shock at that size for 160mm Ripmo v3. I did a video on this set up. Talk about traction! With a Vivid, that bike at 160 is mint for enduro repeated chunk. Rear tire is no where close to touching the seat tube. You would love the bike for racing. I recommend highly, perhaps time for testing now for the offseason. 160mm Ripmo, who needs the HD6.

Excellent in-depth Bike Check
Thanks, glad you think so!
@@greg_callaghanwere you running a Ripmo last year if so what was the model?
Greg, Great to see you Greeting the Great community ! Go on Get some new Great results !
Thanks for the Great comment!
@@greg_callaghan Go Greg, we support you !

When the legend speaks, the tyres, grips, and bikes sell out!
Very interesting, thanks for the in depth bike check!
Great detailed Bike Check!

I’ve only tried the super soft compound so can’t really compare. But loving it.

That’s the thing with bike set up, it’s all rider and trail specific.

Generally I wouldn’t change anything during a race. Only if there’s extreme changes from stage to stage, which is rare. Just 1/2 clicks max.
climb to old tractor trail? :-)
You knows it! Random enough spot 😂
Wrap is nice.
When will we hear more about the Cast Components?
Soon 😏
Out of curiosity do you know what tension you run in your spokes and is the front softer than the rear for the compliance you are talking about?

Thanks for the tip, but the Ripmo’s a rocket out of the box for me👌
@@greg_callaghan I get it, being sponsored. But man, if you are racing it. 230X65 will give you wins. No more skipping rocks.
How many times did you say class?
Too many 😂
Do you think it's worth it to replace a Fox Float X with a X2 or a Vivid to have a more enduro-focused bike ? I'm riding a Canyon Spectral from 2022
I haven’t ridden the Float X on it to compare but I am loving the Vivid.
Do you run the soft or super soft compound on the continental argotals? And I assume always DH casing while racing?
Super soft and yep, pretty much always DH casing
Question about suspension setup-
How much do you weight ?
83kg
Ooh... When can I get me hands on that new SRAM paddle? ME WANT!! 🤤
Good news, it’s already available 👇
www.sram.com/en/sram/models/ec-axs-podr-c1
Has the ibis enduro team come to an end?
Yeah, it ended at the end of 2023
What tyre pressure do you run ( with / without inserts ) ?
21 front, 23 rear is my go to. It can go up 2 or 3 psi from there if it’s really fast, but not very often. With and without inserts.
What sag @ 246psi on the shock?
28% while seated with the seat up
Glad to see no electric suspension it's not there yet
Watch this space, that stuff is sick, I just didn’t get enough time on it between races this year.
