We got a random email from a spectator at the EWS in La Thuile with a photo of a new Ibis 27.5 bike.

The stealthy carbon machine is being ridden by Anne Caroline Chausson, Manuel Ducci, and Valentina Macheda at the race in La Thuile this weekend. It has a 160mm fork, so we assume the rear will be int he 150-160mm range. The DW-style linkage uses two short links with a yoke to drive the shock. Internal cable routing cleans it up nicely. Considering how polished the overall package looks, it's safe to say that the frame will be made official soon.
