The great folks at Ibex Bicycles sent us the new Trophy 770 to review.
The 770 is pretty clean. It’s laced with some cool Shimano components, Avid mechanical disc brakes and my favorite feature on the bike, the Marzocchi EXR Pro Air. I took the 770 out just around the neigborhood and found it to be more than capabale of being a commuter bike, but I think it has the potential as a nice XC Race bike. Just looking at the 770 makes my teeth hurt since its soooooo sweet!
We’ll be testing out the 770 this weekend at a local trail, so stay tuned for the first impression.
