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 …

Ibis broke their own (carbon) mold when they introduced the affordable aluminum-framed Ripmo AF. Building on the success of the original Ripmo, Ibis'...
Affordable
Quality suspension
Excellent tires
Solid all-around performance
Heavy
May be overkill for some riders and locations

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

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

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
