The Jibb is made to ride up, down and chase its tail all over the mountains. It’s a capable bike that gives you feedback through the steering and suspension like no big travel bike can. And that’s what makes the Jibb so much fun and just the best all-rounder you can have in your garage.
If you want to learn more about the shock choice or the two different rocker link options, you can find all details about the Jibb V2 on this page.
The frames are regularly available with the rocker link options shown in the selection on the side. If you prefer a different rocker link, please send us an e-mail to hello@raawmtb.com and we will check the availability of the preferred configuration.

Shock Options & Compatibility
You want to use a different shock? We can only guarantee full compatibility with the Fox and Öhlins models we offer and recommend. However, the Jibb frame does offer ample clearance for almost all shocks. Only if the shock body or reservoir is too big it might interfere with the downtube or lower shock mount at full travel. You can find more information on the support page under "Compatibility information".

My Jibb is the bike I ride the most - I also have a Madonna and a Yalla, but they require travelling to somewhere a bit steeper to use properly.
When I upgraded from v1 to v2 I also sized down - I’m 187cm and was on the XL, now I’m on the L and, along with the subtle revisions in geometry, it’s a much more fun bike to ride. It turns in faster, carves to the apex more keenly and feels like it’s working with both you and the trail in a more cohesive way.
The other thing that is notable is that my v2 is heavier than my v1 (I moved from an air shock to a coil) and yet it climbs better, which I think must be a combination of increased grip from the suppler suspension and the geometry of the frame working better.
It’s a great bike, and the v2 is a definite improvement on the v1.

Short Travel Missile
I’ve been a fan of mixed-wheel bikes and longer rear centres (on larger frame sizes) for quite a few years and have battled to find something that checked my criteria. Most bikes required jimmy-rig setups that, while worked and were plenty of fun to ride, always felt more restricted than optimal. When Raaw released the Madonna with the toolbox concept, it became a front-runner for a new bike build at a time when I was happy and not considering anything new. The only problem was that I leaned towards having something shorter in travel after years of bikes getting longer legs. Then, the Jibb v2 (LT) was announced with the same toolbox concept.
I reached out to Raaw and asked them which they would recommend in my part of the world (Squamish), and a past acquaintance convinced me that the Jibb LT was a blast here. After a bit more consideration, I went for it and have been nothing less than impressed.
External cable routing was a desire, and the Jibb has it, plus many of my other pre-requisites: an alloy frame, horse-link suspension, a 56mm headtube, the ability to switch to a mix-wheel setup, and the ability to maintain the bike’s geometry without compromises when changing the rear wheel size. A proper stack for an XL-sized frame was also of interest, and despite the Jibb v2 being considerably shorter in the reach numbers, the taller stack with the on-paper reach has made it a much-improved fit without a minimum of 20mm of spacers beneath the stem.
It’s early days yet, but the handling is among the most intuitive that I’ve ridden. The bike loves to dip into corners and can quickly correct when things go wrong. It remains stable, and the suspension is relatively neutral when climbing while performing fantastically on descents. Although still relatively long and carrying extra heft, the bike dances around on the trail more than my previous 160–170mm bikes, precisely what I wanted in a shorter travel option. Stability, quick reactions to rider input, and still magnificent suspension smoothing much of the feedback I want to be calmed. I greatly look forward to my first summer on the bike and the trips that it will be taken on.

Habe mein Jibb fast fertig, bin zwar noch kein Meter gefahren aber alleine das drauf setzen macht ein gutes Gefühl ‼️ Freue mich auf die erste Runde✌🏼‼️

RAAW Jibb V2
Super spaßig zu fahren! Vom Madonna zum Jibb keine Umgewöhnung, fühlt sich direkt wie zu Hause an. Perfekt für die Hometrails.
