On a lot of the new bikes this year I find myself falling between a large and an extra large. I’m a lanky 6’2” tall and found the XL to fit like a glove. It comes with plenty of frame clearance to run wide wheels and tires, an Ibis hallmark. The chainstays are 435mm and the wheelbase comes in at 1267 - long but not a limousine. The seat tube is steep at 76° and the reach is nice and roomy without going overboard at 500mm on a size XL. Would you look at that? The Ripmo V2 rocks a 64.9° head tube angle. I’m a firm believer that the sweet spot for head tube angles is 65 degrees. It’s not bad - In fact it’s about as close to perfect as I can think of. Last year I would have called the Ripmo “ahead of its time” or “progressive and cutting edge.” Today however, the Ripmo’s geometry is par for the course. Ibis Ripmo Geometry, sizing and money stuff All the stuff you loved about the the first gen bike is still there, but with a handful of improvements. Most folks loved the old Ripmo for its playful and agile nature, plush suspension and excellent climbing abilities. Technologies will continue to innovate as a Japan-based start-up company that is unbound by existing ideas, but will provide the systems necessary to realize an air mobility (manned and unmanned) society on a global scale.So how do you improve on a bike that most folks already thought was near perfection? You make the head tube angle one degree slacker, make the rear suspension more progressive, make it coil compatible and paint it Star Destroyer Grey. develops products under the concept of transforming society from the top down (literally speaking, from the atmospheric layer in which humans live and thrive) including COSMOS, a control application that serves as an air mobility platform, and XTURISMO, a fully functioning and safe hoverbike. – Outside of Japan: Beginning of 2022 *the date will be confirmed later*Ī.L.I. ■XTURISMO Limited Edition Product Overviewīase Price: 77,700,000 JPY (Tax included) – 777K USD aims to become the global standard for air mobility, and the XTURISMO Limited Edition, which we are proposing as a limited-edition model of a product that will build a new airborne platform, will be available to order after the presentation on October 26, and is scheduled for delivery in the first half of 2022. Additionally, the Sky Road was unveiled, and Kyocera exhibited a VR aircraft that allowed visitors to experience the sensation of driving the XTURISMO.Ī.L.I. It is also being used in NEDO’s drone demonstration tests.Īt the presentation, a manned demonstration of the XTurismo Limited Edition was conducted, and the display model that is to be sold was exhibited. is a system for building sky roads (flight paths) and operating large number of air mobility vehicles and drones in the safest possible way. Moving forward, in addition to the development of aircrafts, we will actively work on the development of C.O.S.M.O.S., a flight management system that manages applications and operations for safe social implementation.Ĭ.O.S.M.O.S. We will develop this technology as an industry that can contribute to society.” In order to implement this technology in society, we feel the need to first develop regulations and foster general recognition (social acceptability). In his presentation, Daisuke Katano, President and Representative Director, said, “We will enable the emergency use of hoverbikes in times of disaster, and at the same time, promote the use of hoverbikes in entertainment in times of non-emergency. This hoverbike is being released as a limited design model, the first step of a line of products that will become a new icon of air mobility, which is expected to be used in a range of fields such as transportation in areas with inadequate infrastructure.
The XTURISMO Limited Edition, a hoverbike developed by A.L.I., is an air mobility product that offers an unparalleled new experience of moving through the air. The event consisted of a presentation by President and CEO, Daisuke Katano, followed by a manned flight demonstration. (Main office: Tokyo, Minato-ku CEO: Daisuke Katano hereinafter A.L.I.) held an unveiling of their hoverbike, XTurismo Limited Edition, on the 26 th of October 2021 at the Fuji Speedway Racecourse (Oyama City, Shizuoka Prefecture).
