wow, thats like Shumacher riding for Skoda.
It’s a shame slopestyle has ruined the sport.

Something like this is a good bet… Lopes will most likely have it built to his geo/spec.
Keep in mind Lopes has a lot of sponsors as well so that does relieve some pressure from any single sponsor.
Oakley, Marzocchi, Bell, Hayes, Easton, MRP, ODI, Sunline, TLD, Kenda, Sportsmobile, Fizik, Thule, and Suzuki.

Im with you Ben. GREAT MOVE for Ibis. Im not sure if there is anyone in our sport who hasn’t heard the name Lopes and im sure there are plenty of people who’ve never heard of Ibis.
It’ll be awesome to see a DW-link 4x bike with some AWESOME aesthetics.
