Longer, Slacker, Steeper

With its well bal­anced mod­ern geom­e­try, the Rip­ley is ready for any adven­ture. The long front end, slack head angle, and short rear end give you the con­fi­dence to try new lines, while the steep seat tube angle paired with a short­er off­set fork make it easy to maneu­ver tech­ni­cal climbs and flowy singletrack.

Lightweight Premium Carbon

All Ibis carbon frames are built from the premium carbon and opti­mized for the best strength, weight, stiff­ness, and ride per­for­mance. The Rip­ley weighs 5 lbs with­out shock.

DW Link Suspension

Since 2005, Ibis has part­nered with sus­pen­sion guru Dave Wea­gle on the dw-link sus­pen­sion plat­form. It pro­vides an unpar­al­leled com­bi­na­tion of climb­ing effi­cien­cy and down­hill per­for­mance, that has been proven repeat­ed­ly at the high­est lev­els of racing.

More Info

• The Rip­ley V4S fea­tures a new UDH derailleur for max­i­mum future com­pat­i­bil­i­ty and moves to a 55mm chainline (the wider chain line allows for a stiffer chainstay).
• Ultra low stan­dovers and clear­ance for long drop­pers give you the abil­i­ty to size based on reach.
• Ibis pio­neered the wide rim rev­o­lu­tion a few years ago and inspired a new crop of wider 2.4” — 2.6” tires. When paired togeth­er, this com­bo can be run at ultra low pres­sures that pro­duce elbow-drag­ging cor­ner­ing trac­tion with­out sac­ri­fic­ing speed.
• A thick rub­ber down­tube pro­tec­tor deflects debris, while the brand's chain­stay pro­tec­tor fea­tures thick raised sec­tions to help damp­ chain slap noise. Ibis sim­ple-yet-ele­gant link­age pro­tec­tors stop mud and rocks thrown by the tire, keep­ing your beau­ti­ful bike beautiful.
• Internal Cable Tunnels.
• Lifetime Warranty.
