The Ripley is IBIS's snappy, flickable, playful, fast, lightweight, and versatile 29” trail bike.
Its combination of modern geometry, a stiff, lightweight carbon chassis, and 120mm of ultra-efficient dw-link travel means it’s equally happy popping off bonus lines as it crushes all-day epics.
LONGER, SLACKER, STEEPER
With its well-balanced modern geometry, the Ripley is ready for any adventure. The long front end, slack head angle, and short rear end give you the confidence to try new lines, while the steep seat tube angle and shorter offset fork make it easy to maneuver technical climbs and flowy singletrack.
REVISED SWINGARM
The Ripley V4S features a new UDH dérailleur for maximum future compatibility and moves to a 55mm chain line. The wider chain line allows for a stiffer chainstay.
DW LINK
Since 2005, IBIS has partnered with suspension guru Dave Weagle on the dw-link suspension platform. It provides an unparalleled combination of climbing efficiency and downhill performance that has been repeatedly proven at the highest racing levels.
LONG DROPPER POST
Names like small, medium, and large describe sizing because it’s easy to understand, but the ultra-low standovers and clearance for long droppers give you the ability to make additional adjustments based on your reach.
LIGHTWEIGHT PREMIUM CARBON, FOR EVERYONE
Whether you order an XX1 or SLX kit, you’ll get the same premium carbon fiber frame. All IBIS bikes are built from the highest grade materials and optimized for the best strength, weight, stiffness, and ride performance. The Ripley weighs 5lbs without shock.
