Summary
The Ibis Ripmo is celebrated as an outstanding all-rounder in the enduro category, blending trail agility with enduro stability. Its DW-link suspension excels in both climbing efficiency and descending prowess, offering a supple yet supportive ride. While it's praised for its lively handling and innovative features like in-frame storage, some reviews note a lack of composure on rough descents and a premium price point.

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

Do you love your Ibis Ripley or Ripmo, but wish for longer chainstays? Eric Olsen's Jank Link adds 13mm to the rear center

Crushes descents
Always composed
Pricey
Slightly heavy

Is this the mythical one bike to do it all?
Excellent climbing performance with efficient pedalling and traction.
Lively and engaging handling.
Intuitive and confidence-inspiring on technical terrain.
User-friendly frame design (threaded BB, internal cable guides, UDH).
Well-designed downtube storage.
Good suspension sensitivity and support.
Nice frame compliance without feeling flexy.
Fox 36 Grip X fork struggled on fast, chunky descents compared to Grip 2.
Icetech rotors had wobble and are impossible to straighten; finned pads rattled.
Not as planted as some competitors on fast, rough descents.
No high-speed rebound adjustment on fork.
Only SRAM Transmission drivetrain option for mechanical shifting fans.
High price point (reviewer considers expensive).

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
