Data on the bike was embargoed till August, at which level we profiled the Ibex 800 T in our September situation and on the web site. At that time, there was point out of an Ibex 800 S, however the bike wasn’t out there on the Minnesota press launch. Nevertheless, particulars have since been made out there on the Road model of the bike.

As to the Ibex 800 T we examined, our reviewer stated it felt “strong, responsive, and – not surprisingly given the origin of its engine – on par with related choices from Europe.”
