Short Travel For Long Hauls

Combining 117mm of DW-link rear travel and 130mm up front, there’s no compromise on fun when the trail turns rough for riders who crave XC speed. The Fox Factory 34SL, Grip SL fork leads the charge, ready for World Cup tech and demanding downcountry alike. Meanwhile, their Float SL shock adds super-light squish that’s unmatched in the XC category.

Plus, this bike’s carbon prowess means it weighs only five pounds with the shock attached. What’s it all mean? A ride that climbs like an e-bike and doesn’t take slow down for an answer. If fast is what you’re after, saddle up.

Storage Galore

When the day’s plans involve pedaling and more pedaling, leaving snacks at home just isn’t an option. The Ripley SL features Ibis’s signature STOW in-frame storage system (if you’re wondering, STOW stands for “snacks, tools, or whatever”). This clever design gives you rattle-free and easy-access storage, getting your trail essentials off your body and into the frame. Plus, dual bottle cages ensure you’ve got the hydration you need to continue chasing miles till the metaphorical cows come home.

Ready To Race

Love the Ripley V5 but wish it could take on more miles even faster? Ripley SL is the V5’s lighter, faster, shorter-travel sibling. The SL also features more aggressive geo with a 66° seat tube angle, keeping you in optimal power position while climbing. When it’s time to descend, just drop the seat and flow.
