The Ripley AF literally made us want to ride more, and we ended up grabbing it for most of the rides we had planned, no matter the conditions.

More for less
Magical mix of traction and efficiency on the climbs
Supportive, shred-friendly suspension
Capable but moderate geometry.
All that for $3,200? Damn!
Ummm…

Launched last year, the Ibis Ripley AF is a more affordable alloy version of the brand's beloved short-travel carbon 29er, the Ripley. With a few intriguing updates, Virginia built up a frame and has been tearing around Pisgah with it ever since. Find the build and an extensive photo gallery here, alongside a few of her thoughts about it…

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.

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.

Lower price, not lower performance.
Smiles for miles
Top-end performance at a reasonable price
Some rattling due to internal rattling
