Versatile performance suitable for both climbing and descending
Durable components and frame design

If I knew absolutely nothing about who you are or where you ride and you asked me what bike to buy, the safest answer would probably be the Ripmo.
BIKE MagazineThe Ripmo is an absolute ripper.
Bike PerfectIt’s a great way to get on a bigger bike with a proven pedigree.
BikerumorThe Ripmo AF is nearly as good as the carbon version at some things, and better at others. Best of all, it’s more affordable.

Rebuilding your mountain bike with some upgraded components is a great way to get some more life out of an otherwise great bike. Join me for what I consider a “Dejavu build” of my Ibis …

The Ibis Ripmo was updated for the 2020 model year, and the V2 is indeed an improvement over the original. The primary changes, including a degree slacker...
Outstanding all around performance
More capable on the descents than its predecessor
Great climber
Excellent build
Expensive
Still not a full-on enduro bike
A touch on the heavy side

For the all-new Ibis Ripmo 2, they've done a lot to increase DH performance, but will the bike still be as versatile as before? We tested it extensively!
Even more composed in demanding terrain
Balanced and predictable handling
Excellent suspension
Short seat tube for maximum freedom of movement
Minimally less pop than its predecessor
Annoying rattling of the brake pads
Slight chain slap on rough trails
Expensive

We were lucky enough to hop aboard the newest iteration of the Ripmo prior to its launch. This bike follows in the footsteps of the Ripmo AF, but in carbon form rather than alloy. The new bike’s rear suspension is notably more progressive than its predecessor – the original Ripmo. It also has a 1º slacker head tube angle and the reach grows by a few millimeters, depending on size. We rode the Shimano XT groupset build, which comes in at $ 5,899 USD. Details, and a video of our first ride on the bike can be found below. [fncvideo

Can the Ibis Ripmo mix the brand's legendary climbing performance with the confidence of a long-travel 29er enduro plough? Guy Kesteven reports
Lightweight, super tight frame and suspension feel for power multiplication and precision
Aggressive seat angle translates into insane traction on the steepest challenge climbs
Premium brand means high cost and standard shock has limited tuning
Suspension struggles between chattery start and sudden blow through on DH trails

The new Ibis Ripmo AF brings top level performance to lower price points. We hit TN to rip the big trails & bike parks, here's our review...with video!

An aluminum frame, a coil shock option, a little more aggressive geometry and a lot more aggressive pricing. The Ripmo AF is indeed Ripmo AF.
