Hey — Lou here.

Ibis finally cracked the "one bike that does everything" problem, and it's called the Oso. Same frame, same carbon layup, but you swap the shock, fork, and dropout hardware to turn it into three completely different bikes: a shuttle-lap gravity machine, an all-day trail bike, or a playful singletrack ripper. No more choosing wrong at the shop and regretting it on the trail.

It's been out since May and it's already moving faster than Ibis can build them. We'd rather get you in line now than have you show up in September asking why every build is on backorder.

One frame. Three personalities.

The idea is simple: buy the frame once, then set it up for whatever kind of riding you're actually doing. Three builds, one platform.

Oso HD — 180mm / 165mm

Built for shuttle laps and big-mountain lines. Gravity-focused geometry that stays composed at speed.

Oso TR — 160mm / 150mm

The do-everything trail companion. Efficient enough for all-day missions, lively enough for every lap.

Oso S — 140mm / 130mm

Agile, responsive, and playful. Made for tight terrain and flowing singletrack.

Ibis Oso TR in Silver
The Oso TR build — 160mm front, 150mm rear, tuned as the do-everything trail setup.

Also worth knowing: it runs a Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 5 motor with a 600Wh battery, up to 850Wh with the range extender, comes in a new "Extra-Medium" 5th size for riders who never quite fit a medium or a large, and carries a lifetime warranty on the frame and bushings.

Ibis Oso S in Silver
The Oso S — the playful, agile setup of the same platform, built for tight terrain and flowing singletrack.

Here's the part we can't put in an ad.

We've got a handful of incentives on Oso pre-orders right now that Ibis doesn't want floating around publicly — so we're not posting this one anywhere, just sharing it with people who've bought from us before. If you call or email before you swing by, we can hold a build slot and talk through what we can do for you. It's easier to explain on the phone than to spell out here.

Mention this article and we'll take it from there.

Talk soon,

Lou
