Strengths: Aero tubes, STIFF, perfect geometry gives it good handling characteristics, stable on descents and fast cornering. Paint is very good, and clear coated, still looks new after a full season of 40+ races and traveling. Replacable dropouts for crit racing is nice, integrated Cane Creek headset is smooth as butter and just bomb proof. Chainstays have an S bend, which increase stiffness in BB and rear triangle and give extra room for big footed riders like me (size 12).
Good all-around bike for RR's, Crit, and TT's too.
Sales supports is great, not one complaint anywhere on the internet, they really stand behind their products.Weaknesses: None. Not the lightest frame out there, but still light enough to race, with Dura-Ace it builds up to about 19 pounds with decent wheels, but if you racing on a budget, or just want the most bang for your buck you can't go wrong with an IBEX.Bottom Line: This is a great racing frame for anyone who wants a light, stiff, aero bike. Big bladed downtube increases bottom bracket stiffness making this a perfect all-around bike for heavy powerful riders, and makes a fantastic time trial bike. I've paid three times as much for similar racing frames - and this one is better.
I took 35 seconds off a 20k PR on a local course, I'm not fitter, this is a FAST bike.
Favorite Ride: To The Coffee Shop
Price Paid:
$550.00
Purchased At: www.ibexbikes.com
Similar Products Used: Specialized M2, Gios A80 Aluminum, Shaft Altec 2+, Litespeed Ultimate (The big donwtube for the Aprisa gives it a similar stiff riding on rails kind of ride to the Ultimate).
Bike Setup: Came with headset, seatpost collar, and cable guides, I put on mostly Shimano Dura-Ace, a carbon seapost and fork,
very pleased with thie way this bike looks and rides.
