Meet the all new Mach 4 SL; a podium seeking missile crafted from the ground up as a testament to speed without compromise. It is designed to win gold and slaughter KOMs, and do so while delivering an otherworldly ride quality, telepathic handling, and a potent blend of acceleration and tractability.
Thanks to the continuing evolution of our proprietary Hollow Core carbon fiber construction, the new Mach 4 SL carves an impressive 280 grams out of the previous generation Mach 4 SL. This impressive absence of mass was achieved while improving on our excellent performing dw-link suspension, and without sacrificing strength, frame stiffness or handling integrity.
A trail mountain bike that is primed for grinding climbs, mashing flats, and ripping descents. One for all, and all for fun!

Check out this review:
Ibis’ nimble, short-travel trail bike gets the more dramatic changes of the two, stepping up to 130mm of rear travel and a 140mm fork. The front end is also far slacker at 64.9 degrees (previously 66.5), and the reach is a little longer. These changes put the new geometry almost on a par with the previous edition of the Ripmo (albeit with 10mm less travel) and either in line with (Trek Fuel EX) or more aggressive than (Transition Spur) the mid-size trail bike competition. The result should be a bike that’s more capable on steep terrain and stable at speed. Assuming the kinematics of the DWLink follow suit with the HD6 improvements, the Ripley threatens to be the quiver killer.
These changes make good sense given that Ibis’ highly efficient and playful short-travel ride, the Exie had started to bear down on Ripley terrain. The new Ripley promises to be a much harder-charging and burlier ride. Though it remains to be seen how light you can build it given the two-pound weight gain from the previous frame and fork. It will also be interesting to see if and when Ibis brings the new design aesthetic and changes to the Exie.
The KICKR HEADWIND is the first ever smart fan, designed with the cyclist in mind. Its Targeted Airflow Pattern mirrors the shape and position of a cyclist's body while riding. The KICKR HEADWIND is sensor controlled so as your speed or heart rate increases, so will the fan speed, and there are also 4 manual speed settings should you want to set your own ideal airflow. With speeds of over 30 mph (48 kph), the KICKR HEADWIND will keep you cool during the toughest training sessions.
