Ibis Ripmo vs HD6 | Greg Callaghan Bike Check

[@karma2745]

I am in love with your new Ripmo and build spec.
that shit looks freaking hot. 🔥🔥

[@MTBMcPhee]

That Ripmo with Vivid and 170 Zeb is hot hot hot! Keen to see you racing that thing!

[@karma2745]

is that fork 170 ?
i thought it's 160

[@MTBMcPhee]

@@karma2745 he says he’s running 170 on both bikes

[@karma2745]

@@MTBMcPhee 170 mm on do it all bike, that's a big win win bro

[@jamlee344]

These new Ibis frames look nice. 🔥

[@kurtrichardson5060]

Great to hear your thoughts on this bike, I'm deciding between hd6 and ripmo for next bike myself

[@DandyHippo]

Great bikes. Have a great end of the season fam

[@greg_callaghan]

Thanks fam

[@darrelldolan_mtb6407]

Both are insane I'd love HD6

[@claritean]

Good overview. Keep it up

[@travelthenarrowtrail8660]

Does the Vivid HSR nob hit the clevis linage? @01:09 It looks like it does. I'm considering that shock on the rear for my v3 Ripmo. It does look like you can't remove it though to adjust the HSC/HBO.

[@greg_callaghan]

It’s close but it doesn’t actually contact the clevis. The HSR knob also pops out so if you’re worried you can easily remove it.

[@saschakussner1683]

Do you need a special tune for the vivid?

[@tobinpint9775]

Hey Greg, did under forking the HD6 make the bikes geometry any different? Noticeable at all?

[@Biking_with_Akiva]

If you ran a 29er on the rear HD6 would it give that same feel as the Ripmo?

[@lixulewisliMTB]

First thing first - that HD6 looks more elegant without the fat down tube.

[@evanblackwell3920]

Curious about why you went for the 170 fork on the HD6 instead of the 180. I’ve been running the stock 180 fork on mine and loving it - feels like an little extra cushion with no downside!

[@greg_callaghan]

Main reason being it’s what I’ve always had so it was familiar. Keen to try the 180 when I get a chance after the season.

[@moynge]

Sweet comparison. Where did you find those 80mm dropper posts? ; )

[@moynge]

Argh, OK, now I see the comment below on the droppers... you shouldn't be bashful about the length!

[@АбзалКожабеков]

why that short droppers?

[@Simon-gk9ug]

Same, thinking that also :)

[@greg_callaghan]

It’s actually a 200mm, just have them sitting at half mast

[@bike_czech]

🎉🎉🎉

[@johndevine2469]

Greg doesn't use much drop on his dropper post

[@greg_callaghan]

It’s only sitting halfway up there, I run 200mm

[@T-rick]

pinkbike market about to be flooded with Ripmos

[@marktheshark2000]

Class!

[@daleremsberg3586]

How tall are you? I”m 6 foot and always felt slightly cramped on my V2s large! Just ordered the V3 large. Thoughts?

[@greg_callaghan]

I’m about 5’11”/6ft and feel like I could ride either an XM or Large depending on preference, so you should be good 👍

[@bikecurious9163]

Hi Greg I bought an ibis ripmo brand new in the U.K. and the clevis bore hole on the frame has worn away very fast no help from ibis other than offering to sell me a new frame

[@Mmtwgr]

Ok… please… can someone please tell me why I needed chain lube on the trail?

[@greg_callaghan]

When you’re out for hours riding rough trails the chain can get dried out. So it’s good to top it up.

[@centroelettricitaspinea3422]

This Ripmo can be my perfect sostitute to my Pivot Firebird 29' my2020! DW-LINK GANG, storage compartment and water bottle compatible.
148x12 it's also very nice! easier to find a wheel set pre-assembled

[@greg_callaghan]

It ticks a lot of boxes!

[@DM-hw4cr]

Well designed bikes with lots of chainstay space for 2.6 tires.

[@bradwilliams1869]

New Ripmo vs new stumpjumper 15

[@kingflynxi9420]

Ripmo takes it due to actual cable routing lol

[@no-hope-in-the-pope]

so yeah
