Summary
The Ibis Ripmo is celebrated for its outstanding all-around performance, excelling both uphill and downhill with its DW-Link suspension and modern geometry. It's praised for being a confident, composed, and balanced trail bike that's as much fun on descents as it is efficient on climbs. While it's noted for its versatility and build quality, some reviews mention its weight and the need for tuning the suspension to match rider preferences.

Ibis took everything we already loved about the Ripmo and made it better.
Outdoor Gear LabThe Ripmo AF is not a watered-down Ripmo, and it definitely delivers Ripmo performance, albeit with its own punchy personality.
BIKE MagazineThe Ripmo V2 lets you know that it wants to rip the most demanding trails.

We let rip on the rowdy, alloy-framed, keenly priced enduro/trail mountain bike from one of the original MTB disruptors
Excellent DW link suspension
Sorted frame feel and geometry
Plush, controlled, DVO coil-shock
Seven-year frame warranty
Eclectic but well curated components
Fork needs more tuning than some
No internal storage
No geometry adjustment

Lordy, lordy, Ibis is 40? To celebrate, they whipped up a very special edition Ripmo that you can't have - well, there's a chance.

Isn’t this the same bike we reviewed in our best enduro bike of 2021 group test? Yes, it is. The Ibis Ripmo V2 blurs the lines between bike categories, but does this make it the one bike to rule them all? How did it fare against the hottest mountain bikes of the year?
Very efficient climber
Hungry for speed
Wide range of applications – from long rides to rowdy trail sessions
Frame details like the chainstay protector and cable routing
Very loud going downhill

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.

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.

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

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
