Summary

The Ibis Ripmo is celebrated for its outstanding all-around performance, excelling both in climbing and descending with a balanced and predictable handling. Its suspension system, particularly the DW-Link design, is praised for being supple and supportive, offering excellent traction and composure across various terrains. The bike's geometry and build quality make it a versatile choice for aggressive trail riding, though some note its weight and the need for component upgrades.

Pros
  • Outstanding all-around performance

  • Excellent suspension with DW-Link design

  • Balanced and predictable handling

  • Versatile for aggressive trail riding

  • Good value for money

Cons
  • Heavier than carbon models

  • Some components may need upgrading

  • 150mm dropper-post travel may be short for larger frames

Review: Ibis Ripmo AF

May 2021

The Ripmo AF is burly for a trail bike, but you won’t have any worries going out for an all-day pedal thanks to the DW-link rear end.

2021 Ibis Ripmo AF - First Look

Dec 2020

It's impossible for me to talk about the Ripmo AF without referencing the Ripley that I tested a little while back. To summarize all of those words into one sentence, it climbed like the dickens, was a blast to ride down a hill, but beat me up pretty bad in the process. An oft repeated thought was "if only it had more travel!" Which, I hope you all take as the compliment it is. There are only a few 130/120mm bikes that will allow you to ride down a trail at the sort of pace that the Ripley allows.

Ibis cooks up vegan Bone-in Pork Chop frame bags for Ripley, Ripmo, Ripmo AF & 2

Aug 2020 · Zach Overholt

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 […]

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
