Ibis Ripley GX Full Suspension Mountain Bike 2024

PLEASE NOTE: Images are for illustration purposes only, check the spec listing for actual components.

The Ripley is Ibis' snappy, flickable, playful, fast, lightweight, and versatile 29” trail bike.

Its combination of modern geometry, a stiff lightweight carbon chassis, and 120mm of ultra efficient dw-link travel, means it’s equally happy popping off bonus lines as it is crushing all day epics.

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 gives you the con­fi­dence to try new lines, while the steep seat tube angle and short­er off­set fork makes it easy to manoeu­ver tech­ni­cal climbs and flowy singletrack.

REVISED SWINGARM

The Rip­ley V4S fea­tures a new UDH derailleur for max­i­mum future com­pat­i­bil­i­ty and moves to a 55mm chain line. The wider chain line allows for a stiffer chainstay.

DW LINK

Since 2005, Ibis have 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.

LONG DROPPER POST

Ibis use names like small, medi­um, and large to describe their siz­ing because it’s easy to under­stand, but their ultra low stan­dovers and clear­ance for long drop­pers give you the abil­i­ty to size based on reach.

LIGHTWEIGHT PREMIUM CARBON, FOR EVERYONE

Whether you order an XX1 or SLX kit, you’ll get the same pre­mi­um car­bon fiber frame. All Ibis bikes are built from the high­est grade mate­ri­als and opti­mized for the best strength, weight, stiff­ness, and ride per­for­mance. The Rip­ley weighs 5 lbs with­out shock.

FORK OFFSET

Some­times, short­er is bet­ter. Instead of the typ­i­cal 51mm off­set, the new Rip­ley uses a 44mm off­set. This gives you the sta­bil­i­ty of a slack­er head angle, while retain­ing the BMX like feel of, well, a Ripley.

2.6" TIRE CLEARANCE

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.

REMOVABLE ISCG05 MOUNT

There if you want it, remov­able if you don’t.

INTERNAL CABLE TUNNELS

Inter­nal cable rout­ing used to be a pain in the ass but the Ibis inter­nal tubes make rout­ing easy. Just pop the hous­ing through and it comes out the oth­er end, no need for swear words or a pickset.

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT

A thick rub­ber down­tube pro­tec­tor deflects debris, while the chain­stay pro­tec­tor fea­tures thick raised sec­tions to help damp­en chain slap noise. And the sim­ple-yet-ele­gant link­age pro­tec­tors stop mud and rocks thrown by the tire, keep­ing your beau­ti­ful bike beautiful.
