Summary
The Ibis Ripmo is celebrated for its versatile all-mountain capabilities, combining efficient climbing with impressive descending performance. Its DW-Link suspension and size-specific geometry adjustments contribute to a balanced ride, though some reviews note a lack of composure on rough descents. The bike's innovative features like the STOW internal storage system and mixed wheel compatibility are frequently praised.
Efficient climbing performance
Impressive descending capabilities
Innovative STOW internal storage system
Size-specific geometry and suspension kinematics
Mixed wheel compatibility
Lacks composure on fast, rough descents
Higher price point compared to some competitors
Active suspension can feel overly bouncy in certain scenarios
Riders who missed the lighter all-mountain performance of the original Ripmo will be happy with v3
BikerumorDescending is equally impressive – it carves corners like a freight train, dances through rock gardens and takes awkward hucks to flat like a champ.
Mountain Bike Action"The Ripmo is among the best climbing bikes I’ve ridden in this segment."
NSMBThe Ripmo V3 is the ultimate trail bike this year.
Outdoor Gear LabThe upside to the fluttery - and at times unstable - feel of the rear suspension is a ride that encourages you to push forward over the front of the bike and surge up climbs.Pinkbike

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.
Great value, especially for a traditional B2B brand
Poppy and playful ride-feel
Surprisingly efficient climber/pumper for a long travel trail bike
Not as planted or composed as most bikes in the category
Marzocchi Bomber Z1 Coil didn’t jive with the bike’s energetic demeanor

The heavy hitter from Ibis is back for V3. The new Ripmo has enormous shoes to fill and no shortage of competition. New for the V3 is MX wheel...
Outstanding climbing performance
Crushes descents
Always composed
Pricey
Slightly heavy

We have a few solid rides in on the Ripmo V3 and can already tell that the bike hits the all mountain nail square in the head.
Jan 2024 · Tyler Benedict
Lower prices, new colors, and (finally) a UDH derailleur hanger makes the Ibis Ripmo AF a little more current.
Jan 2024 · Ibis Cycles
Both the Ripmo AF and Ripley AF models now feature SRAM’s Universal Derailleur Hanger.
May 2022 · Guy Kesteven
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

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.
