New IBIS RIPMO AF & RIPLEY AF

Blog

The Ripmo AF legend continues: in a burly aluminum package it brings big‑mountain capability—a mix of long‑travel confidence and efficiency that shines on everyday trails.

With 160mm up front and 150mm out back, a dw‑link suspension platform, and flip‑chip settings that let you run a 27.5‑ or 29‑inch rear wheel, it’s built for steep descents, beat‑up/rocky sections, and it climbs better than you’d expect. Progressive geometry and a durable frame make it ideal for riders who go full send and need a bike that holds up lap after lap. Whether you’re racing enduro, exploring alpine singletrack, or smashing your home lines, the Ripmo AF delivers the same legendary performance as its carbon sibling.

The Ripmo AF carries over all the features of the carbon version: in‑frame storage with two bags, coil‑shock compatibility, progressive geometry—all at a more attainable price.

Quick details:

Slack 64.5° head tube angle.
Size‑specific steep seat tube angles.
73mm BSA threaded bottom bracket shell.
ISCG 05 compatible with removable adapter.
Internal cable routing with updated entry ports.

Max rotor size: 220mm.
Boost hub spacing.

SIZE SPECIFIC EVERYTHING

Every rider deserves the same great on‑bike feel—regardless of height or body proportions. We use size‑specific seat tube angles and suspension kinematics to deliver exceptional balance and speed across the entire size range. Chainstay length and bottom bracket height are also tuned for each frame size.

5 SIZES

We added a third (in‑between) size in the middle of the range so you can land “just right.” Because about 80% of our riders are between 5’5″ and 6’0″ (approx. 165–183 cm), we introduced the new Extra‑Medium size, which now sits at the center of our sizing scale. If you were previously confidently a Large or XL, your size remains the same.

Ripley is rad AF at pretty much everything.

Built for both battle‑hardened shredders and stoked newcomers, the latest Ripley AF keeps the fast, playful personality that made the Ripley famous—then wraps it in a tough aluminum chassis that’s ready for anything.

With 130mm of rear travel and 140mm up front, it climbs efficiently and punches well above its travel class on the way down. Confident, progressive geometry gives it quick, responsive handling in tight singletrack while staying composed when speeds pick up. For riders who value agility, capability, and all‑around fun, Ripley AF brings over every key feature from its carbon sibling: dw‑link suspension, 29″ wheels front and rear, a flip‑chip option to run a 27.5″ rear wheel if you’re mullet‑curious, and in‑frame storage with two included Ibis bags—for all your snacks and tools.

Affordable. Fast. Fun. Unapologetically aluminum… AF
