It’s been a while since anyone has posted here, but I definitely have some valid points to make about buying a bike like this (Ibex). First of all, I’ve been racing on and off for about 12 years now, and I can tell you… a bike is as good as its rider. I raced pro and was factory sponsored
back in the early ’90’s…my bike was the at that time top of the line for that manufacturer. The component group on that bike (Legacy Snowbird) was trash in comparison to what we have now… but you know what? That didn’t stop me from taking first in the downhill. Ppl kill me…
you really don’t have to spend 6k on a bike for it to be good. It’s all about what geometry works for you, shift style, etc…
Now, to address the issue of Chinese or Taiwan manufacture… an American bike and an
American car are very similar in that they both use parts from origins other that the USA. Just because a frame is welded and assembled in the states doesn’t make it better. Neither does the fact that an American made bike will cost like 10 times as much (sometimes literally)
As a matter of fact, I’d trust a Chinese robot welder to an American human welder anyway.
I’ve never owned an Ibex, nor have I been payed by them… but they seem to be on the right track.
FYI: I am a soldier stationed overseas… I can’t get a Specialized, Marin, Jamis, without great difficulty, but Ibex would ship right to me if I wanted one…

Suspension at its finest with the Mercedes Coil Springs…

It is not all about the horsepower and torque you put into the engine to make an enhanced Mercedes performance….

The thing hear is the ignition is not some special design that ibex came up with but rather a common frame that other manufacuters used to. The mongoose wing is pretty much the same frame, and has since been dropped.now while the price is great for the parts there are a few other bikes to look at, but I would include IBEX in my search

Ibex bikes are junk. They pay people to post positive reviews of their bikes.

Chris,
I’m not sure if you are referring to the review as being biased or the comments, but I can assure you that my reviews are strictly my opinions. There are definitely sites out there that get paid to post nice things about mountain bikes but this is not one of them. We are just guys that like to ride and have fun reviewing new bikes from time to time. There is absolutely no money being exchanged when we do these reviews. I hope that helps to clarify.

Looks like Ibex is flooding the internet with bias reviews. I’d really like to know just how many of these comments are actually real.
