The Ripmo is fast and very maneuverable in tight terrain

The numbers show the Ibis Ripmo mountain bike to be longer than it’s smaller wheeled brother, the HD4. Riding the bike shows differently.

In a category that’s breeding like rabbits, the Ibis casually struts into the room with a strong offering and a unique approach to the 160mm travel 29er game.

Ibis Ripmo X01 Factory Tested

Sep 2019 · Guy Kesteven

Can the Ibis Ripmo mix the brand's legendary climbing performance with the confidence of a long-travel 29er enduro plough? Guy Kesteven reports

Highs
  • Lightweight, super tight frame and suspension feel for power multiplication and precision

  • Aggressive seat angle translates into insane traction on the steepest challenge climbs

Lows
  • Premium brand means high cost and standard shock has limited tuning

  • Suspension struggles between chattery start and sudden blow through on DH trails

Mountain Flyer
Tested: Ibis Ripmo

Sep 2018

Ibis recently entered the long-travel 29er game with its Ripmo, which is described as a love-child between Ibis’ popular HD4 and Ripley models. Featuring 160 mm front and 145 mm rear travel, aggressive geometry numbers, gobs of tire clearance, a threaded BB, and room for a water bottle inside the frame, the Ripmo appears to check most boxes for today’s enduro bike.
