Summary
The Ibis Ripmo is celebrated for its outstanding all-around performance, blending climbing efficiency with downhill prowess. Its DW-Link suspension and updated geometry offer a balanced, confident ride across a variety of terrains. While it excels in versatility and build quality, some riders may find it a bit heavy or expensive compared to alternatives.
Outstanding all around performance
More capable on the descents than its predecessor
Great climber
Excellent build
Confident, composed, balanced
Expensive
Still not a full-on enduro bike
A touch on the heavy side
Float X2 rear shock takes some time to dial in
Maxxis Assegai EXO+ tires might be a little heavy
Ibis took everything we already loved about the Ripmo and made it better.
Outdoor Gear LabThis aggressive trail bike climbs shockingly well and maintains the energetic and sporty feel that was one of the hallmarks of the original.
Outdoor Gear LabThe Ripmo V2 is an even more confident and capable descender than its predecessor.

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

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.

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 […]

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

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
