Ibis Cycles Hakka MX New Colors and Build Kits
The Hakka MX has gotten some extensive love over here since its inception, with John reviewing it at its launch date and later with the new-at-the-time Shimano GRX drivetrain. While the frames themselves haven’t changed, Ibis recently rolled out new branding, meaning it was time for a refresh of the Hakka MX platform. For this Fall, you can select either a frameset for $2,699, a Rival build for $4,599, or a GRX build for $4,899 in either Wizard Potion (pictured), Sacre Bleu, or Salt Water Taffy colors.

Braydon Bringhurst | 8600FT
Watch Braydon Bringhurst’s feature-length film “8600FT” above, documenting his climb of the iconic “Whole Enchilada” trail in Moab, Utah.
“The Whole Enchilada” is one of mountain biking’s most epic trails – attracting expert-level riders from around the globe to Moab, Utah, to challenge its 8000-plus feet of descending over rugged and raw terrain littered with rock drops and boulder fields. But no one has ever tried to ride up every inch of the trail – until now.
Equally mentally challenging as physical, “8600FT” is a 1.5-hour feature-length film of Braydon Bringhurst’s attempt to summit “The Whole Enchilada.”
