It’s a great way to get on a bigger bike with a proven pedigree.

The Ripmo AF is nearly as good as the carbon version at some things, and better at others. Best of all, it’s more affordable.

The all-new Ibis Ripmo 2 in review – the best trail bike made even better!

Feb 2020 · Christoph Bayer

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!

Highs
  • Even more composed in demanding terrain

  • Balanced and predictable handling

  • Excellent suspension

  • Short seat tube for maximum freedom of movement

Lows
  • Minimally less pop than its predecessor

  • Annoying rattling of the brake pads

  • Slight chain slap on rough trails

  • Expensive

[First Ride] Ibis Ripmo 2

Feb 2020 · Simon Silver

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

The Ripmo AF is not a watered-down Ripmo, and it definitely delivers Ripmo performance, albeit with its own punchy personality.

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
