    I think BKXC is the best marketing avenue Ibis has/had. To be honest if it weren’t for BKXC I probably wouldn’t have much awareness of Ibis bikes. Not for me to say how Ibis should spend their marketing budget but BKXC seems like a pretty good option.

      Agreed.

      I agree, RUclips is the best advertisement platform for mountain bikes in my humble yet accurate opinion and BKXC is one of the biggest channels.

      100%. I looked heavily at its bikes and thought about buying a used one, but it still was outside my budget.

    Of all the many Ibis reps, you have got to be the best all around for the vast majority of riders. You're a great ambassador.

    I honestly never took ibis seriously until I watched your Portal video... I still queue up that vid on the way to trails to get pumped.. legendary things you did on ibis bikes as a "normal" guy.. so inspiring!

  • @chrisallen5293
    @chrisallen5293 Год назад +10

    Brian you've done a good service for Ibis by riding and showcasing their bikes. If it doesn't work out with them anymore some other bike companies will come calling. Good luck

    My Email to ask Chuck:
    Started watching Brian Kennedy about 6 years ago. Back then I was on my first stump jumper in Walnut Creek, Ca. His videos inspired me to get further into the sport. I was intrigued when Brian got into a ripmo v1, but I was newer and wasn’t ready to jump up to that price point. When I moved to Tahoe Donner, Ca 3 years ago Brian had just got his his v2 and I knew it was the bike for me. Purchased mine with carbon rims/ hydra hubs. My GF watches almost all of BKXCs videos as well and came to the same conclusion. This bike was good enough for him it’s good enough for her, so 2 years ago she got hers. (She particularly likes when his wife rides with him as she relates and thinks she’s a good value add to the channel). Last season I built up a DV9 hard tail, my GF built up another carbon hardtail only because after 5 months of searching we could source her a DV9 frame in small. Next season, thanks again to BKXCs videos we will be shopping Exies.
    I’m not thrilled with your move into the moped market but dropping BKXC seems like an even worse move. Just my 2 cents.

    I tried several times to buy a Ripley AF frame during the Pandemic because of Brian’s videos, but they were never in stock at the time I was in a place to buy one. Maybe one day, but this channel led me to Ibis as the #1 choice in my search.

  • @fernandocervantes2517
    @fernandocervantes2517 Год назад +8

    Just wanted to thank ya man for the discount. I just ordered carbon bars, stealth decal kit, valve stems and hells gate grips appreciate it man and ride on! 🤘🏿 You truly are the inspiration and the reason why I got into mountain biking have traveled and experienced a lot in the last 3 years just to hit sweet bike trails.

  • @brianlehnhardt1632
    @brianlehnhardt1632 Год назад

    Yup. I bought a medium in bug zapper blue based on the fact that we're about the same height, and you were loving the smaller bike. I test rode it of course, but seeing you shred your Ripmo is what gave me the idea.

  • @trailhooks8753

    Big Thank You for convincing me to go the Ripmo way, when I was lost in the dark. Never regretted it. Thinking of changing my AF to Carbon V2 now, but am tempted with all the new stuff... I also used your build sheet to complete my build that might resemble your parts choice, wink wink. Wishing you all the best for your future adventures! Greetings from Switzerland! J

    I've been shopping (saving) for a new bike for about a year now. When I started, all the usual big names made up my list. I'm not exactly well versed in all the options out there so I never even considered Ibis until I got hooked on BKXC. I still need to go test ride a few different options once summer rolls around but the Ripmo is now right at the top of my list. If you can only have one it sure seems hard to beat!

    @CP-qx2ff Год назад +11

    Think this is the best colorway they've released so far. Like the new logo but think they should have stayed with a real head tube badge instead of sticker. Hope they see the value in BKXC sponsorship. Look how many Rallons people must have bought from his time working with Orbea.

  • @TeaganAtwater
    @TeaganAtwater Год назад +8

    I think you forgot to mention how well the Ripmo climbs. I have a Ripmo AF, and while not as quick as the Ripley AF I used to have, the Ripmo AF still climbs really well and doesn't ever feel like it's slowing me down.

    Great looking bike and the Ripmo is a hard bike to beat!
    I love the new RockShox suspension stuff and Hunter's SpolkeX wheels are fantastic!
    I expect those GX cranks will be seriously robust and cause no issues for a long time.
    Finally, I've been running a Trail 1 cockpit for a while and have two comments: Need a 50mm option for the Rockville stem and the logo/branding on the Crockett bars is too bold. It's great to get the brand out there, but it turned out to be too much for me
    Thanks for putting the videos out! Always enjoyable.

    @GhislainLeduc Год назад

    I can’t wait to hear your comments in a few weeks regarding your new built. I have a Medium Scott as I am 5 foot 10 and I always have the feeling the bike is too small especially since I got a 35mm handbar. I can climb so easily but when going down, I’m always afraid to go over the bar. So strange as Medium seems good on other bikes like the Bronson SantaCruz of my friend but my Scott seems so small

    It's totally because of your channel and great 1st person POV riding and amazing worldly MTB adventures that I even heard of Ibis cycles and have decided to buy my first full suspension bike. I'm a Midwest guy so we don't have the insane climbs and ultra rocky descents here especially in the metro Chicago region so I bought an Ibis Ripley AF... Perfect for me.

      Thanks for your feedback! We are super bummed to let Brian go, he has been an amazing ambassador of our brand and makes great content. In the future, we hope to sponsor him again and continue our partnership. We appreciate you reaching out and sharing your story. Thank you for the kind words regarding our bikes.
      Happy Trails,
      Chuck.

    I really like Ibis. I've had an HD5 since they first came out. Made riding with rheumatoid arthritis much more comfortable. I have all the wireless components, just cause it is easier to push a button with my joints. The Ibis has allowed me to ride trails I more comfortably than my old Scott. I sent a letter to Ibis explaining everything and they replied with a very nice response. Also said they would send my letter to all of their employees. Unless something drastic happens, this will probably be the last bike I ever get, since I won't be able to ride much longer.

  • @MichaelSchneiderTexas
    @MichaelSchneiderTexas Год назад +1

    Cool bike, enjoy your trip. I just got back from riding Ecuador a bit. They wouldnt ship my bike because they had a oversized luggage embargo over the holidays. Weird. SO I bought a bike in Cuenca and left it there when I go back.

  • @MidwestMTBAdventures
    @MidwestMTBAdventures Год назад +17

    Can't believe Ibis is letting you go Brian! I considered an Ibis as my next bike because of all your videos I cant see how they don't think your an asset to them! Keep up the great videos been watching for 2 years. Love all your knowledge and how you really talk about the area and just get so in depth about where you are!
    Edit: I understand that the bike industry is laying people off but I feel like some exceptions should be made for some very likeable and highly qualified people to do your sponsoring I guess of your products. I mean I bet Brian helped sell tons of bikes. He's been riding ibis for how long? Look at his following. Maybe the bike industry shouldn't have gone so balls deep in the pandemic and wouldn't now be so overspent and have to cut costs.
    Maybe the CEO of these companies should take a pay cut and keep people employed I like how to keep costs down we fire highly skilled and qualified people while the business makes record profits. But then complains the employees are bleeding them dry. No you are as an owner.

      Basically every sponsored RUclipsr just got dropped by every bike company. Ibis dropped Brian and Ryan (Loam Ranger), Specialized dropped Heather Munive (Giant may have picked her back up or she bought a new Giant on her own dime). RUclipsrs who were relying on sponsor money are probably done, ones with well established Patreons should do ok.

  • @andrewdwight934
    @andrewdwight934 Год назад

    It's not just how Shimano brakes feel in terms of power, but I also prefer the ergos of their levers. The new 4 pots are really powerful. I'm a 260lb rider on a 50lb Rocky Mountain Instinct PP and live in the Seattle area = steep, long, muddy and tech downhills. XT's are the one finger wonders, and I don't worry about fade. BUT My buddy has some Magura's on his Transition Repeater, and while they feel completely different than my XT's (closer to SRAM) they are crazy powerful as well. They are the one's I would consider if Shimano went out of business. You are an excellent ambassador for Ibis, but the only constant in life is change.

    Nice new rig. Surprised Ibis isn't a paid sponsor of yours. Your videos are a series of ad campaigns for the RIpmo, the way to climb on it, descend on it, you're able to handle anything the trail throws at you. Hopefully they come around and realize how much promotion you give them. I'm sure your skills have something to do with it too :)

  • @RVAMTB
    @RVAMTB Год назад +4

    I'd never heard of Ibis until I watched your videos. If nothing else, you brought awareness to that brand and probably a bunch of sales. Not everyone uses affiliate links when buying gear even when that affiliate directly influenced the sale.
    10-20 minute commercials for your product with hundreds of thousands of views, targeted views, is something most companies would love.
    All that said, I understand the bike industry over-produced coming out of the height of the pandemic and needs to cut costs. Cutting revenue generators doesn't seem like the best place, but that's how it goes.
