The Ibis Ripley AF is our beloved, category-defying, short-travel, singletrack-scorching Ripley—now rendered in aluminum with more aggressive geometry. All the sizzle and pop of the carbon Ripley is available as a complete bike at a wallet-friendly price.

The Ripley AF is a multi-talented shapeshifter; it’s a lightweight, snappy, and incredibly versatile bike that can do a whole lot more than its 120mm travel and light weight imply. With compatibility for a 120mm to 140mm fork, the Ripley can serve as a lightweight cross-country weapon or a trail-thrashing downcountry machine, depending on your component specifications.

Modern Geometry, Precise Handling A trail-friendly 65.5-degree head angle combined with a short (44mm) offset 130mm fork and 29” wheels delivers a planted yet playful front-end feel. A 76-degree seat tube angle optimizes your power directly to the pedals, while the short chainstays and pedal-friendly DW-link kinematics ensure that power is maximized without squandering a single watt.

Universal Derailleur Hanger The Ripley AF UDH features a Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) for maximum drivetrain compatibility and moves to a 55mm chainline.

DW Link Suspension Our 15-year collaboration with Dave Weagle has yielded yet another bike with unparalleled climbing efficiency and control. Incredible snap and responsiveness are its trademarks, coupled with plush, downhill-crushing goodness.

Long Dropper Post Clearance The Ripley AF frame is designed with clearance for long droppers. Check the 'Dropper Insert' tab in the Specs & FAQs section to determine which length of seatpost will fit your frame.

Pick Your Size We use words like small, medium, and large for sizing because it’s easy to understand, but our ultra-low standover allows you to size your frame based on reach and preference.

2.6” Tire Clearance Pioneering the wide rim revolution, the Ripley AF accommodates wider tires (2.4” - 2.6”) which can be run at ultra-low pressures for excellent cornering traction without sacrificing speed.

Removable ISCG-05 Mount The ISCG-05 mount is there if you want it, removable if you don’t.

Lifetime Warranty If it’s our fault, we’ll fix it. Simple as that.
