Ibis Bicycles is a mountain bike manufacturer located in northern California, United States.
[1] Ibis Bicycles was founded by Scot Nicol, one of the earliest mountain bikers in northern California.
[3] Hans Heim, a former co-owner of Bontrager Cycles and Santa Cruz Bicycles, partnered with Scot Nicol, Tom Morgan, and Roxy Lo to relaunch the brand.
The Hand Job took an overlooked part of every other bike and made it a focal point for an Ibis, and as such symbolized the company.
[8] The BowTi design (released in 1998)[7] was unique in being a full suspension frame that did not use pivots to separate the front and rear triangle.
