New Bike Day!

Revels suck...

Congrats!

What's funny is this Revel rage hasn't really been because of people raving about the bikes on this forum. I haven't seen many posts claiming that the Revels are the best at this or that. Not like when y'all were raving about Hightowers or Guerilla Gravitys. They've just been quietly creeping into the garages of our tiny but mighty band of IMTB hooligans.

 

Hey their next bike that's coming out
, do you know something?

 

Nice! I’m liking the Revels.

What kind of kick stand are you gonna get?

 

Nice. That is a good looking bike.

 

Looks Fast, Congrats!
Make sure that chain protector doesn't come unglued!

 

That reminds me. Does your frame have one of these?

 

Beautiful bike. Hopefully you'll be able to ride it!? Doesn't seem like you've had time to ride lately

 

SSShouldn't SSSomeone be poSSSting here?

 

SSShhhhhhh

 

This was classic!!!!!!!

 

Dayum! My turn to hate you! Sweet @Voodoo Tom!

So I’m thinking this is the bike you should warehouse here in Arkansas when you fly out for some fun.

 

Quick chug through Cherry Canyon after work today to see how she rolls now that she is done.

 

Nice! See you've already fixed the main issues I had with mine, terrible tyres and an atrocious seat

 

Theres gonna be a learning curve here with this bike. Since Im more centered over it compared to the FEX, the back end is wild and crazy like it has a mind of its own. Gotta check pressures/settings/pivot torque. May slide the saddle back a notch, too. Climbs like a monster wants to keep moving forward.

 

Congrats. Love the lines and the color.

 

That bike looks like it could handle just about any ride...

 

Killer ride! That color is really nice. Congrats again!

 

Nice! Great color too!

 

Congratulations! What model did you get? The YTs are pretty popular as far as DTC bikes go.

 

It's the Core 3. It came spec'd with Sram GX. I left the cranks on but upgraded the shifter and RD to X01. Changed the GX cassette from 10-52 to 10-50. Dropped the chain ring from 32 to 30. Replaced the M1900 wheels with a custom build: Arch MK4/DT Comp/I9 Torch. Replaced the Maxxis Forekaster mud tires with my beloved Bonty XR4 29X2.4s. Replaced the OEM alloy bars with Raceface NEXT CF. Installed invisiFRAME protective film which was a MAJOR PITA!

I still have the X01 cranks from the FEX which I may install later if I should feel the need to drop some grams.

 

Sweet...my nephew has one that is 2-3 years old and of course he has youth on his side but he is a beast. He rode from Newport Beach to the Mountain Baldy resort one day. His Strava was 100 miles and 10K of climbing. He regularly goes out and does 30, 40 miles for 5K of climbing and sometimes more. Believe it or not, he's not a fanatical rider. Probably runs more than he rides.

 

Definitely a BEAST.

 

Congrats @SnakeCharmer ! Nice rig, I'm jealous!

 

The Ibis Ripley V4 I sold was a great short travel bike but was a size to small for me in size Large so.. I bought a frame only that's been sitting in the box for a few months now. I have enough parts to build it into an AXS bike. I've had the AXS shifter and seatpost for more than a year and was going to install on my SC Hightower frame ( that's also sitting in a box ). Now the AXS parts will go onto this new Ripley size XL. Today I collected all the parts needed to do the build in one place and will start soon.

 

What's that new Transition coming... Is it really coming?

Transition Smurf?
Transition Smudge?

 

Transition Repeater?

 

They always start with S right?

 

There are a few images circulating.

 

SMUGGLER!

 

Didn’t they already make a smuggler?
