Check out some pictures of this banger custom eMTB. Ibis Oso with X0 Transmission AXS drivetrain, Magura brakes, Handbuilt King/Nox wheels and more. Built by the team here at BikeCo.com.
Magura MT7 with HC3 levers paired to 223mm Galfer Shark rotors provide the stopping power.
The HC3 lever is adjustable which allows for riders to fine tune the leverage ratio. This adjustment shifts the length between the lever pivot, the lever “action” arm and your finger tip. Want the power to come on a little quicker? Drive the adjustment further towards your finger tip. Looking for more modulation? Reverse the adjustment.
The HC3 is the most adjustable lever on the market. It allows riders to utilize the larger diameter rotors, great for eMTB setups like this Oso, without being jumpy.
Ibis Oso with X0 Transmission
Yes, this Ibis Oso with XO Transmission takes advantage of wireless shifting. But there’s many more advantages to the X0 Bosch Transmission AXS Groupset on an eMTB setup.
Between the additional weight as well as the mileage and technical climbing eMTB drivetrains are under more stress than we’ve seen before. This tends to lead to wear issues and replacement at a more frequent basis than riders might be used to on their MTB setups.
With the SRAM X0 Transmission riders are purchasing the strongest and longest lasting drivetrain built. Period. The most notable changes on the SRAM Transmission include the unique Flattop chain (which, just plain looks cool) as well as updates to the rear derailleur.
The Transmission derailleur is a robust piece utilizing a double shear mounting on the SRAM UDH capable rear end. With a precision initial installation the Transmission derailleur is ready to go for a long time without requiring much from a rider.
With eMTB riders climbing technical tracks it’s also great that IF you manage to damage the derailleur you can replace individual bits on the derailleur. They’re built to take a hell of a beating, so this may never happen to you…

OneUp Components E-Bar: Simplified Controls
A clean cockpit is provided by both the Transmission wireless pod as well as OneUp’s Carbon E-Bar.
The 35mm Carbon E-Bar allows clean control wiring for the motor. Bosch and Shimano systems can take advantage of this.
The ANVL Swage Stem is used to compliment the E-Bar’s wiring.

Another look at the cockpit on this custom Ibis Oso.
Deity Lockjaw Grips, the new Wolf Tooth ReMote Pro and Chris King Headset provide nice touches across the board.
Heavier bikes, like eMTB builds, as well as bikes that tend to be ridden a lot and hard, like eMTB bikes, benefit from top tier headsets like Chris King or the Cane Creek 110 options.

You can peak at the SQ Labs saddle and get a detail look at the NOX Kitsuma Enduro rim shape.
eMTB Carbon Wheel Option
Another angle with more of the NOX Kitsuma Enduro rim.
With a relatively wide internal width the Kitsuma provides a lot of tire volume to maximize grip. This is important climbing and descending the Oso to take advantage of its traction.
Chris King hubs with DT Swiss spokes and nipples are laced to the carbon Kitsuma rims. Our expert wheel builders have a good understanding of rider requirements prior to build. This allows fine tuning of both product as well as actual build setup. In turn this produces a rim that balances incredible service life with excellent, personally tuned, performance.
Here is the Chris King rear hub with the SRAM Transmission cassette.
We’ve learned an important aspect on SRAM Transmission installation is ensuring the mounting surface is free of any finishing buildup from the frame. Our team checks the UDH area for any anomalies so our clients have the best on trail performance.
One last look at this custom Ibis Oso build.
This rider has spec’d DH tires front and rear. DH sidewalls have a weight penalty, but provide notably improved damping. With the heavier eMTB bikes and especially with aggressive riders this is important.
Riders find extra support from the suspension critical to performance. Finding the additional damping in cockpit (like the OneUp Carbon Handlebar) and tires is critical!
