Isn't it cool that the FIRST event Brian will attend using an Ibis with the Terry Larrazabal Bike Festival?

Over the fall and winter months the number one inquiry Brian Lopes has been receiving from fans, industry mags and mountain bike enthusiasts alike has been; "What bike will you be riding for 2008?" Well, we tracked down some information for you readers that you will be pleasantly surprised by, read on riders! With over 30 plus years of experience combined in racing, riding and product development, Brian has built a solid reputation and insists on riding nothing but the best products available. So naturally this was a question that he took very seriously!
After talks with several potential bike partners, his search lead him to Ibis Cycles. This storied boutique brand has a long heritage dating back to the beginnings of modern mountain biking. Ibis was founded by Mountain Bike Hall of Fame inductee Scot (A.K.A. "Chuck Ibis") Nicol. Most recently Ibis is best known for their gorgeous sculptural carbon fiber frames and integration of the infamous "dw-link" into its Mojo Carbon and Mojo SL mountain bikes. If you have been fortunate enough to ride one, you probably have been converted into an IBIS fan too. Mojo SL - Using the DW-Link Brain and Ibis will be working together in the coming years to develop lots of new Ibis products and to attract a much wider audience to the Ibis brand.
This is what current World Cup Champion Brian Lopes had to say:
" I'm thrilled to be riding what in my opinion is the best looking and best riding bike on the market. I personally tested numerous bikes and the Ibis Mojo has won hands down as the best all-around machine. Which was the main driver for my decision, shortly followed by the the like-ability of the Ibis owners, their future products, heritage and long-term commitment and vision to make the ultimate working bikes in the market. To me it was a perfect fit."
This is what Scot Nicol from Ibis had to say:
"Ibis' collaboration with Brain Lopes is all about eyes and ears. There are a lot of riders who still don't know who or what Ibis is all about. I want them to hear what Brian has to say about the Mojo. I want them to see what Brian can do on our bikes, and once and for all end any speculation about whether or not carbon fiber is strong enough for a mountain bike. Brian's credibility and endorsement of Ibis will cause a lot of new customers to take a look at the Mojo for its functional beauty, the dw-link's plush efficiency and the durable lightweight performance of the Mojo's monocoque carbon fiber frame."

You know what's interesting?
The TLBF will be the FIRST event in the WORLD where Brian will use an ibis bike.
I don't think anyone in the world could have thought this would ever be possible... A current world champion having his new bike debut in the Philippines... During the TLBF..

Master GTU will be the first rider to use yakuza at worldcup..lolz! ;D hmmmn... heheheheh,... dw link no more, for IH. since IH Don't renew contract... sam hill might be syndicated... would he still win? probably coz he freakin fast... prokop and lopes plus lucky Gee is still the person to watch this year. Prokop would not be flying long while using hardtail on flat landings . aould author bikes make him ride new suspension frame? If lopes dominates the 4x, then ibis prices will go up pa... ouch! but if lucky gee would catch a win this year the jologs commencal might go to coñio status... hohoho...

4Xers, It's great for IBIS/brian lopes collaboration...but beating that guy by a pinoy "nobody"on a beater-bike on any TLBF race he choose to join would be breaking news! YOU ARE READY!!!! PIN IT!!!! Let's not kiss-ass, give him a competition! I want him to be sweating bullets! Let him have a tale to tell.....

let the ipis eat the ibis LOL! Let's hope BL is not an A-hole. That would suck big time having to wait all those years to have a gravity racing pro come to the Philippines & he turns out to be a jerk.
