Short-travel aluminium bruiser
Immensely fun to ride
Super-supportive suspension
Good value spec
Packs a punch much bigger than the travel figure would suggest
Not a plough bike
Could do with grippier tyres

The Ripley AF will make a great partner for a rider who wants to cover a lot of ground, possibly while pedaling hard, and have a hoot on the way back down.

The Ripley has gotten affordable AF, with the release of the aluminum version of the popular short-travel 29er.
Excellent value
Same suspension and ride characteristics of higher-end models
Good parts package for the money
Heavy
Can be loud

Chipps brings us his thoughts on this Ibis Ripley MK4, built up with all the fanciest of top end components and dragged through UK mud.

Integrated tools are nice, but integrated bags let you carry any tools you want. They also allow for you to carry other things, like snacks, beverages, and your face mask. Along those lines, Ibis has just unveiled their new vegan Bone-In Pork Chop (frame bag). Having some fun with the name, the new Pork Chops […]

Expensive
Firmer ride overall

If you are looking for a mountain bike with capable geometry and on-board feel consider the Ibis Ripley V4. Read our review and see what we like and what we would change!

We put over 800 miles on the 4th-generation Ibis Ripley for this full review, plus see what all fits in a custom split-triangle frame bag…
The new DW Link suspension design is quite good at playing on rowdy downhills yet still seems efficient when pedaling and climbing.
Extremely lightweight and quiet frame design, partially attributed to the in-frame cable tunnels
Fits 29 x 2.6” tires.
Lesser build kits aren’t too overpriced considering Ibis’ size and status as relatively boutique brand.
Very sharp looking bike with more frame triangle space than you might assume.
No bosses under the downtube. It would have been a bonus if they kept them.
XTR build, as tested, is a well out of my price range.
Maybe not XC/efficient enough for some people, compared to v3
In a perfect build, I’d prefer a Rockshox Pike fork
I had to send it back
