I have an HD5 and love that bike. I had a 29er before and have demoed a bunch of different 29 bikes. Just haven't been a fan of 29ers. Just makes the bike feel too big and clunky to me. Having said that, would love to try a mullet bike, especially the new version of my bike. I've never tried a mullet. I "hope" I wold "hate" this bike and not want it. The Mrs would laugh at me if I wanted a new bike. Have you ridden the older Ibis bikes? The HD6 has a different rear linkage and curious how it feels different.

XLNT video guys, short & sweet. I appreciate the heads-up on the new Ibis.
That's some gorgeous riding area and some humongous trees! - May I ask where you filmed this?

Looks crazy cool. I ride an HD4. Love it. Live in a super rocky area. Was thinking Ripmo for my next bike. Think I should stick with Mojo HD? Might be perfect, right? Oh, final question, how tall was the rider in this video?

[zianko]

Can anyone comment on size 5 reach vs. chainstay? I'm 198cm with very long arms (210cm wingspan :D ) and this reach seems great, but will this bike climb and turn with 540mm reach vs. 435 CS???
Any XXL frame users around? ;)

Great review, how tail are you guys? How was the fit on the large?

I need to demo one. Im not sold on the Mullet. Being over 6' I really wish they had gone full 29r. Ill still demo and give it a try though. Its hard to beat my Ripmo though.

I ride a specialized enduro pro with Ohlins coil suspension .
Have you tested this bike and how does it match up with this Ibis HD6 ?

[NB-ski]

when does the full 29er version come out?

[TAZMON]

I still have an HD3 and HD4, I was hoping the HD6 would be a full 29er, no flip chip certainly lomits the market appeal, looks like I won't be buying the HD6, I'll stick with my Yeti 160.

[Wizler]

Ibis limited themselves by not adding a flip chip to allow a 29" rear wheel. We'll see how the market supports the commitment to mullet.

Why waste the newest DW link design on a mullet?

Ibis is the most overrate bike out there, and it is over price
