Can't wait for the compare between the Ripley and Spur. I have a 2020 Ibis DV9, 2017 Transition Smuggler plus a fat bike for winter here in Michigan. I going to sell the Smuggler and the top 3 possible replacement are Ripley, Spur and Revel Ranger in that order. The Smuggler at 33lbs feels like a lead anchor compared to a 23lb hardtail and it accelerate so slow in comparison. It never really noticed it until getting a lighter bike that has fast acceleration.

Get the Ripley, don't look back. Perfect bike for MI (unless you only ride the flat XC trails like island lake or Addison oaks, then Id say sell the smuggler and stick the the DV9 only) . I know many others who bought the bike after I bought mine and they absolutely love it. one of my buddies just ordered a frame about 3 weeks ago but has to wait until OCT for delivery as they been sold out for a couple of months. build it light and you will have a super competitive bike that will easily handle any trial in MI. You will not exceed the bikes capabilities for our trails. Stick with 11 speed, (XTR with SRAM xx1 cassette awesome combo) no need for 12 here, light carbon rims, you will be able to built it to sub 25 lbs with dropper. I've been riding Ripleys for years, this year I found the perfect tire combination for damp and dry trails. Aspen rear (this tire has completely blown my mind. literally better grip than the aggressor in these condition, wish they made is in a 2.4 so I can try it in the front), XR4 front. Ripping fast, super grip and solid as F%&K! you'll blown away. good luck

The Smuggler has been good on those as well but the weight plus the pedalling platform is not as supportive as I'd like, too much petal bob. I am all about the short travel 29ers but way too many are getting too long and too slack. On the trials around here like Highland those long bikes are tough to navigate all the tight spots. Sounds like the perfect bike, how does it handle jump based flow trails like Eh Line?

@@kevinrodger3756 "On the trials around here like Highland those long bikes are tough to navigate all the tight spots" Funny you mention highland,, I ride all of highland 3 days a week minimum, and I can finish it pretty damn quick. Contrary to popular believe, its not because I'm fast, I'm not! I'm an average guy who is conditioned to ride our trails on a bike that was designed to ride our kind of trails. This is what the Ripley does, It allows the average person who puts the added effort into conditioning themselves, to be more efficient on the trails it was designed for, which includes highland and basically every trial in MI. The bike climbs, peddles and handles incredibly well. I'm not kidding when I say that you will find your limitations, not the bikes. I haven't ridden the Ripley on eh line, but I have ridden it out west where they have huge elevation and long flowy and gnarley down hills. The Ripley handled it all just fine. On the very aggressive stuff I had to really pick my lines as the bike isn't designed to bomb down very aggressive terrain. but climbing was a hell of a lot easier for me then those around me! 😉 I haven't ridden the spur and I'm sure I'll rent it (along with the following V3) next time I'm out west. Here in MI, a short travel 29er is the perfect bike, and the Ripley with its DW link is the most efficient in that space that I've come across. build it to be more like and XC bike and you can't go wrong.

Thinking the Spur is a closer match to bikes like the Top Fuel, Epic Evo and RKT 9 RDO, rather than the Ripley. Ripley is more versatile (i.e. front fork 120-140mm with a $28 air spring). Spur is locked in a 120mm, that's it except the shock can go to 100mm. Ripley more in line with the bikes like Stumpy ST, Jet 9 RDO, Fuel Ex and other 120/130 bikes just to name a few!. It should make for an interesting comparison, although it's apples to oranges. Spur more XC/trail, Ripley more Trail that can do XC and maybe some light enduro, if their is such a thing! 120mm up front only goes so far!

The only down side is that it is chunky and only a 2.4 rear tire. the rear tire thing don't bother me, i am probably going to put a faster rolling tire at the back.It kind of reminds me the way you described the new pivot switchblade, witch makes sense because they the similar geo, the biggest difference is probably the way they tune the suspension ( DW-Link vs Split Pivot ). i am happy with it essentially for the price, it cost me 4199 cad witch is 3153.93 usd and for that you get a pike select + with charger 2.1, code r brakes, full gx eagle groupset, a good novatec rear hub with 84 points of contact.

Been trying to get that bike for awhile now...

Hey! How would you compare this bike to the Ripley in terms of stiffness? I’m a heavier rider and stiffness is important to me when buying a bike. Thanks!

How do you feel it compares to the SB100? I know you’ve ridden both and I was thinking of swapping my SB100 to the Spur. I have an SB150 as well, so I like having a shorter travel, much lighter bike for those fast paced rides. Thanks!

SB100 is more flexy and less stable... I'd go Spur for sure!!

Possible to compare this with an SB115 for those who are undecided? Great channel thanks!

I haven't ridden the sb115 but its basically a sb100.... there is in my opinion zero reasons to go with the sb115.... hta is terrible for trail riding. Easy decision, get the Ripley or Spur

@@mtbyumyum Just thought the 115 maybe on a 140mm fork would get some love coz its a closer spec now to the 4.5 with a bottle cage. Will checkout the Ripley and Spur thanks!!

Hey Jay, you really kind of glove-slapped the Spur recently in one of your live videos and I'm wondering why. Listening to you here it sounds like exactly what I'm looking for, a bike that's an all-day rider and not a mach-chicken downhiller because I don't ride those trails or do that. I'm too old, I'll break if I come off at 30mph! I'm looking for efficiency coupled with a pleasant feel, maybe more level & uphill oriented than fast downhilling.

hi thank you for your great reviews I just bought a giant trance advanced pro but may be looking for one more bike what do you recommend I like the giant but I was thinking about a evil offering just don't know what to get next

Get an Izzo and really compare it with your Ripley and the Spure.

Hey, thanks! Welcome!

Will you be changing the bar and stem to reduce the aggressive position and try it out again? What's the lightest weight you can build it out?

Are the customizations from the standard X01 build your personal preference? I see XTR brakes on this bike vs the G2's that come on it. Same with the crank swap?

Yeah, I've not had a chance to ride this bike from a demo... this is a personal customers of Salt Cycles that let me borrow for a bit

Have you ever tested any Banshee bikes? Going to build up a Phantom V3 in the next month or so, but there's not a lot of info out there. Be a good comparison to your current short travel stuff :)

Nice one! To be honest, I did consider the Spur but it's a bit too pricey for me.

Soooo was thinking the new Pivot t429 but too expense. Is this as good? The new Rocky Element looks awesome and priced right....any thoughts?

How does this compare to the Tallboy you tested? I assume the Spur will climb a bit better due to weight but does the tallboy descend better?

Surprised no one has asked for a comparison to the Sniper T yet... Has anyone ridden both?

What is that tool storage mounted on the frame? I've got a sentinel on the way and I can't find a product that bolts to the frame like that. Thank you!

Do a head to head with the Element.!

I have a Spur and have loved it but am considering adding another bike; would a Switchblade be too much overlap?
