Summary
The Ibis Ripmo is celebrated for its outstanding all-around performance, excelling both in climbing and descending with a balanced and predictable handling. Its suspension system, particularly the DW-Link design, is praised for being supple and supportive, offering excellent traction and composure across various terrains. The bike's geometry and build quality make it a versatile choice for aggressive trail riding, though some note its weight and the need for component upgrades.

The Ripmo AF is not a watered-down Ripmo, and it definitely delivers Ripmo performance, albeit with its own punchy personality.
BIKE MagazineIbis took everything we already loved about the Ripmo and made it better.
Outdoor Gear LabThe balanced handling and impressive pedaling performance won me over.

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.

It's impossible for me to talk about the Ripmo AF without referencing the Ripley that I tested a little while back. To summarize all of those words into one sentence, it climbed like the dickens, was a blast to ride down a hill, but beat me up pretty bad in the process. An oft repeated thought was "if only it had more travel!" Which, I hope you all take as the compliment it is. There are only a few 130/120mm bikes that will allow you to ride down a trail at the sort of pace that the Ripley allows.

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 …

The Ibis Ripmo was updated for the 2020 model year, and the V2 is indeed an improvement over the original. The primary changes, including a degree slacker...
Outstanding all around performance
More capable on the descents than its predecessor
Great climber
Excellent build
Expensive
Still not a full-on enduro bike
A touch on the heavy side

For the all-new Ibis Ripmo 2, they've done a lot to increase DH performance, but will the bike still be as versatile as before? We tested it extensively!
Even more composed in demanding terrain
Balanced and predictable handling
Excellent suspension
Short seat tube for maximum freedom of movement
Minimally less pop than its predecessor
Annoying rattling of the brake pads
Slight chain slap on rough trails
Expensive

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
