No doubt about it. Wouldn't prevent me from buying one, but if I'm on the fence aesthetics could be the deciding factor, and I've never been a fan of their frame design ... This one looks gorgeous though, especially the purple. Plus I love how they keep the Fox Factory on their "lower" end build option (GX/NX). Ibis has definitely made my short list with this one (along with Pivot, Santa Cruz and Transition).
Ryan just to let you know you left behind the average rider a long time ago:) your a way above average Joe MTB. Plus we don’t have sponsors, you deserve it keep up the awesome content.
Not that I felt the older Ibis were ugly, just not appealing to my aesthetically, that straight top tube makes for a much better looking bike. Really liking that frame.
I'm glad you got to enjoy the Pacifica trails! That's some beautiful country. The HD6 looks very compelling - I really want to try it! But it's hard to figure out which one fits (5 sizes!!!??)
Ben Cathro on Pinkbike is also very good at explaining things, learned a lot from that lanky, Scottish downhill monster. This fella is definitely right there with him on giving instructions though. I like to hear more than one take on things sometimes cause we all think and learn a little different.
Looks awesome matt green and gold British racing colours love it! Interesting choice on rear shock there no good for me as u run iver 250 psi throws me about the trail to much
Looks awesome I put the same fork on my dh bike. Looks like u did something funky with the brake hose, if u use the right hose guide it shouldn't be making that big loop out the side of the fork waiting to get snagged
Hey I really love the colour that u choose for the HD6. Supper sick!!! On my bike (Specialized Big hit 3) I have a double crown rockshox boxxer and I would love to hear what u think about it. Thanks .
Sick bike sick riding. Two questions. 1. Why doesn’t ever enduro bike come capable to run a triple crown at this point? 2. How do you like the freedom coast levers?! Was thinking about getting them for my trps.
It makes perfect sense to put DC for bike as such. I do not understand why manufactures are excluding it from warranty. Would be probably safer then SC ZEB 180/190 anyway and it's not like we have crises of head tube separation all over the place. and for hitting frame with uppers wouldn't knock block headset prevent that?
The bike can handle it, for sure, but it's just the fact that it is not an intended use case for the bike, so it wasn't put through specific dual crown test procedures to give it the official thumbs up.
Dude, put some gloves on. Going down in rocks can do some damage, lol. Anyhow great video. I've got a Mojo3, love it. It's the best looking bike Ibis ever did, until this bike!
Ohhh, some body bro7ght out the good camera gear! Haha, seriously though, great looking video. Probably not the bike for me after being so let down by both the ripmo and the ripley AF but I'll have to try one out to know!
Normally I run an XL with a 35mm stem for Ibis bikes. I’m 6’1”. For the HD6 though, I essentially wanted to make it a fun park bike, so I decided to size down to a large, which has 474mm reach. I then went with a 50mm stem to balance things out a bit. It all worked out much better than expected haha. The bike feels great.
@@TheLoamRanger hey thanks for the reply! I also have an xl ripmo, and I’m 6’1” as well. Went from a 50 to a 40 stem and love it . With your input I think I might try a 35 .
Love your videos but this one is a swing and miss. Putting a dual crown on this is something nearly nobody can do, and therefore your words on the efficacy of the bike are essentially worthless because you're basically complimenting a Manitou fork the entire video.
It won't have an issue. This frame is incredibly strong. As far as short head tubes with dual crowns, check out a lot of the World Cup DH field. Most bikes have very short head tubes in order to give the racers and mechanics maximum stack height adjustability.
@@TheLoamRanger "How to void your new bikes warranty" ok :) If you're on a size 3 (large) the head tube is 91mm, significantly shorter than what the DH bikes with the shortest head tubes have, the Specialized Demo at 105mm in all sizes, and the Pivot Phoenix at 106mm in all sizes. Most other brands having taller head tubes like Trek Session 117mm, Commencal Supreme DH V5 and Mondraker Summum 112mm, Cube 124mm. Some exceptions like the Nukeproof Dissent 110mm in large, 105mm in medium, and 100mm in small, but with a massive diameter for reach adjust headset. The HD6 head tubes are different for each size though so I would grant you being technically right if youre on size 4 at 100mm, or size 5 at 115mm, but only right in length alone. You have to admit that the head tube area is not nearly as overbuilt as a DH bike. You say "It won't have an issue" but you don't really know if that's true, if it was then Ibis would officially ok it.
Also thinking maybe a dual crown 300 boost Oh look you did put a dual crown on with a reverse just like the iron horse I do forget the name of that fork
Hello i just want to know from you is 2010 cube acid is any good for jumping bars i really need to know beacous i started riding not to long ago and i feel super bad about my bike and i just need to know if its bad or no i know i ts not from the top bikes but still (and dont mind my eanglish)
The old Dorado was the best fork I had ever used. Now the new one takes that spot. Manitou is working some serious magic with their entire fork lineup.
I really love Ladder's Pea Protein give a try, and I wasn't even wanting to try veg., I just grabbed it on clearance to try along with the Isolate and it turned out way tastier than others I've tried, the choc and vanilla are both great sometimes I do half and half
Im happy ibis is changing their design language to a design that feels a little more contemporary. Their design has always been the turn off for me, regardless if their bikes were well made.
There a couple of videos on yt about the the new HD6 but yours is the most none infomative one. Sorry, but all we saw is you voiding the warranty with a dual crown fork, putting on a shock from your suspension sponsor hitting a road gap. No info on the bike. No comparison to the ripmo. Nice to watch but not worth to be called a launch video of an new bike.
It would be pretty boring if everyone made the same videos, I think. For the record though, I did include info and did compare it to the Ripmo V2 haha. Cheers
this is the best looking bike Ibis has ever made

I said the same on pinkbike. And got slammed. But I stand by it. Looks sick.
@@rpiian I hate curvy frames, that’s why this one is the best looking ibis
@@dylanperschon8479 💯%
absolutely agree
Ryan just to let you know you left behind the average rider a long time ago:) your a way above average Joe MTB. Plus we don’t have sponsors, you deserve it keep up the awesome content.
Love it, first thing you do with it is slap a twin crown on haha. This definitely is looking like a strong contender to replace my Ripmo.
Not that I felt the older Ibis were ugly, just not appealing to my aesthetically, that straight top tube makes for a much better looking bike. Really liking that frame.
Yes, they are somewhat ugly. The HD6 has a much nicer look with the top tube matching the rear triangle.
feel like the look Ibis bikes look better in person than in pictures...dunno if others feel the same.
Awesome review Ryan! I'm so torn between the green and lavender I'm beside myself! 💚💜
Dude Pacifica is where its at man. Me and my buddies spend hours at tree line😂. That bike is actually pretty dope🔥🔥🔥
I’m also around Pacifica. Nice to see it represented here.
@@seanpeterson9030 Yea love it too.
Yeah same😂
Catalyst pedals! I absolutely love them. Switched all my bikes over to them this spring.
They are actually a game changer...
Sweet bike with the upgrades!
That was beautiful. (Said the Mojo 3 rider.) My husband's HD 3 is still purdy!
I rode mercy me for the first time yesterday it was a trip to see it in this video
I'm glad you got to enjoy the Pacifica trails! That's some beautiful country. The HD6 looks very compelling - I really want to try it! But it's hard to figure out which one fits (5 sizes!!!??)
Can you please make a how to manual video bc you are the only person that makes sense in tutorials

beautiful bike. really nice angles.
Every time you hit a ramp I hear, “stand up to the jump, stand up to the jump 🎶 “
4:20 beautiful, beautiful bike and shot
One of the best how-to’s I’ve seen
Thanks
Looks awesome matt green and gold British racing colours love it! Interesting choice on rear shock there no good for me as u run iver 250 psi throws me about the trail to much
New Sub, awesome video! But as an australian, that bike will be known to me forever as the Bin Chicken HD6.
That new Ibis frame is sweet looking
Manitou is back, baby!
mile is sickkk
That’s one happy boy right there!
Installed a dorado expert on my transition spire… such an awesome fork
how does it ride? i was thinking of doing that to mine
@@sebastianglenn7904 very worth it. Would probably go with the pro just for the enclosed damper and the carbon fiber casing
Very nice! Love the setup!
Thanks!
Looks awesome
I put the same fork on my dh bike. Looks like u did something funky with the brake hose, if u use the right hose guide it shouldn't be making that big loop out the side of the fork waiting to get snagged
Interesting. That was the best setup I could figure out, but it definitely isn't ideal.
The DH fork looks excellent
uhm, your custom HD6 is absolutely 🔥its sooooo clean!
Wait. If you're an average rider... Sick bike. You break that warranty hard, sir.
Beauty of a bike
Hey I really love the colour that u choose for the HD6. Supper sick!!! On my bike (Specialized Big hit 3) I have a double crown rockshox boxxer and I would love to hear what u think about it. Thanks .
Dorado's make any bike look soo much better!
You're not wrong! So beefy.
I would love to have one of those myself
Like at least 180 mm front and rear
With a four-pot Mt7 brake system
What a beautiful bike
Sick bike sick riding. Two questions.
1. Why doesn’t ever enduro bike come capable to run a triple crown at this point?
2. How do you like the freedom coast levers?! Was thinking about getting them for my trps.
Daaaaaamn that build is ssiiiiiiick ! Coolest bike I seen this year 🤟😎👍
cleanest bike ever🤩🤩
You didn't mention the pedals! I'm a Pedaling Innovations fan as well, I'm sure they'd love the rep!
Yep, love those things!
Couldn’t believe it. Riding a bin chicken amongst the gum trees. Could’ve been in Australia if you hadn’t said where you were 😂
holy shit that dorado is so sexy on that bike it's insane.
Dual crown enduro bikes are the future mark my words!
It makes perfect sense to put DC for bike as such. I do not understand why manufactures are excluding it from warranty.

Doesn't the dorado come in 180mm? That surely wouldn't void any warranties since that's the travel it ships with.
can you make a vid on how to take drops?
That’s a 2021 Pivot Firebird…
Holy beautiful bike 😍
Just went home after the lift broke. Didn't even think to hit Hula Girl.
Dude, put some gloves on. Going down in rocks can do some damage, lol. Anyhow great video. I've got a Mojo3, love it. It's the best looking bike Ibis ever did, until this bike!
Dear God!! We need some Green Cranks!!
Gorgeous, what is chainstay protector's manufacturer?!
That’s from the factory 👌
Ohhh, some body bro7ght out the good camera gear! Haha, seriously though, great looking video. Probably not the bike for me after being so let down by both the ripmo and the ripley AF but I'll have to try one out to know!
This bike sounds like my nuckproof mega I am running 170mm front 160mm rear bike just wants to go fast I am def putting 180mm fork on it soon
Ibis finally makes a modern looking bike. Better late than never.
Not sure how you don’t think the older hd4 and hd5 were old looking?
@@50whatnomadtravelnursemtb5 Those have the curved or swooping tubes that most Ibis's have and they just look old and dated.
@@bmaclaps everyone has their own tastes in looks. The HD6 definitely looks more modern I agree
But, what did the folks at Ibis think about your downhill fork bikes? Might they be thinking of producing a model like that, e-bike especially?
The Oso is officially dual crown compatible!
Are these trails just outside of San Fran?
I wish Ibis was a little more "friendly" to its Canadian counterparts.
Front end might be good but the rattling would drive me nuts!
I just wish you could do 29” in the rear
4:00 anyone else watching this one hand under the table?
Awesome!!
What reach numbers are you talking about with the 35mm stem?
Normally I run an XL with a 35mm stem for Ibis bikes. I’m 6’1”. For the HD6 though, I essentially wanted to make it a fun park bike, so I decided to size down to a large, which has 474mm reach.

@@TheLoamRanger I thought the L has an 480mm reach.
Ibis Built a Yeti...Nice.. also is that saddle a bel air? looks sick
So is it, or is it not dual crown compatible? Will a crash put too much pressure on the top tube and cause it to brake?
Did you run a 29er in the rear?
Can anyone tell me or link the song used in the video? I cannot find it. Thank you in advance 🙏
but how does it climb?
Love your videos but this one is a swing and miss. Putting a dual crown on this is something nearly nobody can do, and therefore your words on the efficacy of the bike are essentially worthless because you're basically complimenting a Manitou fork the entire video.
No way did Ibis just release a good looking bike, I can't believe it!
Are you going to leave the dorado on? I would like to see how long that ultra short headtube will hold up to that much leverage.
It won't have an issue. This frame is incredibly strong. As far as short head tubes with dual crowns, check out a lot of the World Cup DH field. Most bikes have very short head tubes in order to give the racers and mechanics maximum stack height adjustability.

Oh look you did put a dual crown on with a reverse just like the iron horse I do forget the name of that fork
Manitou Dorado all the way! Best fork I've ever used.
@TheLoamRanger i can agree with that
Do you have any concern for longevity due to running that fork? That setup looks insane!
No concerns. This frame is tough!
@@TheLoamRanger Thanks for the reply! Was there any custom work to be done to install the fork or just straight from Hayes and throw it on?
The wide-angle lens is kinda disorienting.
I've been thinking about using a different bike on the channel and until now, didn't really consider Ibis. Is that full 29 or can it be mullet?
It only comes with a mullet 🤘🫡

How was the Swansea shuttle road. As terrible as it usually is?
Yep! But this time it was actually fun because we were in the Landy.
"The bike should disappear" - so true
What brake levers are those?
put a coil on
I’m not one for carbon bikes but the HD6 has me interested.
How do you like the manitou dorado pro's?
The old Dorado was the best fork I had ever used. Now the new one takes that spot. Manitou is working some serious magic with their entire fork lineup.
Do you have Strava?
So not called a Mojo anymore? Ibis lost their mojo…😢
Pedals?
Catalyst Pedals! bit.ly/LoamShovels
@@TheLoamRangerThanks!!
what do you think is the best Protein Drink to tack on a ride? thanks in advance. :-)
I like Vega Sport Mocha, blended with cheap, unflavored pea protein (because I'm cheap) haha
I really love Ladder's Pea Protein give a try, and I wasn't even wanting to try veg., I just grabbed it on clearance to try along with the Isolate and it turned out way tastier than others I've tried, the choc and vanilla are both great sometimes I do half and half
The frame looks quite a lot like a YT jeffsy?
What Saddle is that!?!
SDG Bel Air V3 bit.ly/SDGseatsandposts
Lol. Wish I could afford that.
How do you like the catylist pedals
I love Catalyst pedals! So much support. ....the WonderBra of pedals really.
🤣
Still like to know what voids warranty 😂
The dual crown fork. 😬
Silent?
Starts at 9500€? Sounds just about right 😵🔫 Of course the guys at ibis are laughing their asses off in the clip
Im happy ibis is changing their design language to a design that feels a little more contemporary. Their design has always been the turn off for me, regardless if their bikes were well made.
That new bike looks sexy as hell. 🤤
Well I think it is a MX and I don’t buy MX bikes so a pass for me
Do Americans now parody their own accents, when shouting "drappin"?
Sam Pilgrim, hang your head in shame young man!
average rider like you 😂 You are not average dude
Don’t understand this review, take a bike that wasn’t designed for that fork then does a review of it. It’s not objective nor provide a baseline.
But it sure was fun and sometimes that's enough. :) This also isn't billed as a review.

Really, you didn't film the frame in sunlight even once? Where's the thumbnail? Waste of a video
I know, right?? How could someone not give you exactly what you want?!? Unbelievable.
The only company I know of that encourages people to put a dual crown fork on a single crown bike is Transition.
Mate, how big are your feet to require those pedals??
