For
2008 the big news in our Alpine line-up is an all new frame
based on our latest Trophy frame design. It's rendered on
Double-Butted 6061 aluminum and features shaped and ovalized
downtube and box gussets as well as attractive twin spar
seatstays. While based on the race oriented Trophy design,
the Alpine has a slightly slacker head angle for a more
stable ride. Combine that with its increased 100mm fork
travel and the new Alpine frame is the perfect choice for
all-around trail blasting.
For
riders inclined to take on the most rugged of gravity-challenged
terrain, the IBEX Alpine 550 provides the cutting-edge stopping
power with its Hayes new MX-4 mechanical discs brakes. Add
to that the 550's new SRAM X5 drivetrain and Marzocchi MZ
Race fork with lockout and you have one of the most complete
mountain bikes ever made.
The
meticulous craftsmanship of the IBEX Alpine 550 will hold
its own against hardtails that cost hundreds more. For a
very reasonable investment, you can have a top-quality SRAM
drivetrain and Hayes disc brake equipped mountain bike primed
and ready for the roughest rides. Check out the specs and
you'll see the close attention paid to every detail. If
you have your heart set on an MTB you can love... at a price
you can live with, the Alpine 550 has it all!
