The Jibe Jester

Make every ride a party

The Jibe Jester is a party bike!

The Jester, a full-suspension 120mm travel bike built to perform. Ideal for epic cross-country adventures, the Jester's shorter travel ensures efficiency on long rides. Its sturdy suspension, longer front, and slacker headtube offer stability and control, making it ideal for fast, rowdy trails.

Short Travel redefined

Designed for balance, control, and flexibility, the Jester redefines what a 120mm travel bike can do. Experience the perfect blend of smooth suspension, modern geometry, and innovative design that delivers unparalleled performance on every ride. Ready to elevate your trail experience? The Jester is here to rock the party!

Rear Suspension

Split pivot

The Jester's split pivot system keeps braking separate from suspension, allowing smooth absorption of bumps and impacts. This results in a smooth and controlled ride, with improved grip and stability.

Rear Suspension

Leverage ratio

The Jester's rear travel features an 11% leverage ratio. This means that as the wheel moves through its travel, it requires more force to compress the shock. The larger ratio provides the rider with a bottomless suspension feeling handling big hits with ease.

Slacker Head tube angle

The Jibe jester is less about competition and more about fun. The 65-degree head tube angle boosts stability and confidence on steep descents, offering more forgiveness for rowdy rides.

Robust Linkage System

The Jester's linkage yoke is built with bullet proof carbon, making it tough enough to handle rough trails and technical features.
