Check out the new Ibis DV9 at Jenson USA here: http://bit.ly/2zJwXda And that’s right- all complete bikes from Jenson USA ship ready to ride- just install the front wheel, pedals, and you’re set! • What a cool bike! A $999 frame that weighs only 2.6lbs and sports a 67.4° head angle! YES!!! • I’ll share with ya some of my initial observations of this new bike. Turns out this bike is a size large here, so on a medium, I could likely run a 170 dropper with no issues. Coming from a full suspension bike, it did take me a couple rides to feel comfortable on the hardtail again. Keep in mind, it’ll be a little bit of time to get acquainted with that feeling, but as long as you aren’t smashing endless rocks, hardtails with big tires and long forks are actually quite forgiving. • Climbing, as expected, is generally rad. The big 2.6 tires help a ton to make up for the traction that the rigid rear end loses in comparison to a full squish. The bike is noticeably lighter than my Mojo 3, for instance. 2.6lbs!!! I could eat cheeseburgers for breakfast and still climb faster than my full suspension bikes! • Jibbing- one of my favorite things to do on a bike! The DV9 accelerates like mad, making it a great bike to sprint into weird obstacles. The short chainstays also enable the bike to pull into a wheelie super easily, and then it’s intuitive to control that wheelie. The big wheels take some adapting, but the overall size of the bike (wheelbase) is quite manageable. • Jumping- the bike jumps decently well, but I urge caution with truly big jumps and the 2.6 sized tires. I burped the tires several times while over clearing jumps. Also, the tires have a lot more rebound than a smaller, 2.3 sized tire. I ran 16/17 psi, and felt that was about the sweet spot for me. I’m 160lbs. • Trail Riding- this is where the DV9 truly shines! The bike pumps really well, and it’s low BB makes for some great cornering traction. The hardtail feel is a great change of pace- trails that are easy on the full squish become a little more challenging. There’s also a cool feeling of being connected to the trail, with every pump having a more visceral effect without any muting of suspension. I kept pumping and manualing my way through trails that I would normally mash or pedal through, and it sure felt like I was going faster. True or not, it was definitely fun! • Subscribe to my newsletter for a monthly update of my newest videos! http://eepurl.com/cXsdZz • Follow me! www.jeffkendallweed.com • / jeffkendallweed • / jeffkendallweedmtb • / jeffkendallweed • General Affiliate Links: • Jenson USA: https://bit.ly/JensonUSA2022JKW • Industry Nine: https://bit.ly/IndustryNine2022JKW • PNW Components: https://bit.ly/PNWComponents2022JKW • Shimano: https://bit.ly/Shimano2022JKW • Music by Birocratic: • Beets 3; 04 May- https://birocratic.bandcamp.com/ • Beets 3, 02 Celery Man- https://birocratic.bandcamp.com/ • Beets 2, 06 unrhythm- https://birocratic.bandcamp.com/ • Flamingosis Birocratic- Look Both Ways https://birocratic.bandcamp.com/
