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 note its weight and the need for shock tuning as minor drawbacks.

Pros
  • Outstanding all-around performance

  • Excellent climber with efficient DW-Link suspension

  • Confident and composed downhill

  • Versatile across a wide range of speeds and terrains

  • High-quality build and components

Cons
  • 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 Ripmo AF GX

Sep 2024

The Ibis Ripmo AF, a playful long-travel trail bike with a strong build kit, has become a cult classic, though its lively ride divided reviewers between enjoyment and instability.

Highs
  • Great value, especially for a traditional B2B brand

  • Poppy and playful ride-feel

  • Surprisingly efficient climber/pumper for a long travel trail bike

Lows
  • Not as planted or composed as most bikes in the category

  • Marzocchi Bomber Z1 Coil didn’t jive with the bike’s energetic demeanor

Field Test Review: 2024 Ibis Ripmo - The Revised Classic

Nov 2024 · Dario DiGiulio

The Ripmo was updated this year with in-frame storage, mixed-wheel compatibility, and a wonderfully straight top tube.

Highs
  • Offers an active, lively feel at slower speeds

  • Handsome and quiet frame

  • Could be good base for something more capable

Lows
  • Rear suspension felt busy, lacked composure

  • Fork performance fell behind the rest

  • Frustrating frame hardware

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.
