Why We Like The Ibis Ripley AF Mountain Bike Frame

When it comes to value, it's hard to beat the Ibis Ripley AF Mountain Bike Frame when we're building out our next short-travel trail ripper. Thanks to 120mm of efficient and capable DW-Link travel, the Ripley AF is ideal for a wide array of riders and usages. It's efficient enough for high-mileage downcountry rides in the Colorado backcountry yet forgiving enough to be the perfect choice for a beginner or intermediate rider. The magic of DW-Link suspension delivers unparalleled rear-wheel traction for clambering up tricky climbs, plus it tracks predictably in corners and loose terrain for descending confidence. The Ripley AF comes in with a balanced 66.5-degree head tube angle, reflecting modern slackness without going over the top, preserving that maneuverability we love.


Ibis brings such incredible value with this frame thanks to its aluminum construction, which is slightly heavier than carbon but offers a forgiving ride that dampens vibrations from the trail. Internal cable routing, optional ISCG-05 tabs, and a chainstay protector are all included for even more value. The Fox Performance Float DPS air shock provides a wide range of adjustments allowing us to fine-tune the suspension feel to suit our riding style and preferred terrain. Ibis designed the Ripley AF around 29in wheels for their enhanced rolling efficiency and ability to carry momentum over square-edge steps, protruding boulders, and tricky angled roots. Whether we're looking for our first trail bike or just trying to fall in love again with our daily after-work loop, the Ibis Ripley AF Mountain Bike Frame is the perfect starting point for our next short-travel build.


*Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated, and any adjustments will be of equal or better spec level.
