Haha. They are soo nice but a tiny bit on the expensive side. That big bearing man...

I think your Madonna showed up here at the same time I started looking at them.

Raaw are a small company, but they're a small company that is big enough, if that makes sense? You get the ability to speak to Ruben about something, but there are also other people who you can talk to rapidly and they're genuinely very nice and very helpful.

In terms of the price a lot of that comes down to suspension choice, because I'm ridiculous I went for Ohlins which was the most expensive way of approaching it, but you could build a bike with the latest Rockshox stuff for a lot less.

Then you have external cable routing, which makes things hugely more practical, and the double sealed bearings plus of course the monster pivot bearings - all of which points to longevity.

I suspect that the Jibb would need consumables like bearings changing less frequently than the other bikes on your list, and Raaw will stand behind their warranty on the Jibb if you break it in a DH trail centre - something the others may very well not do.

Check out the video of the Jibb being shredded around Morgins - this is the bike that I use as my Swiss Army knife option, a 135/150 trail bike, and it's looking very much at home there.
