Ibis

Ripley Eagle 90 Mountain Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"On the Ripley V5, you immediately feel how well the kinematics are tuned. It pedals almost like a short-travel race bike, but the added travel and slacker head angle make a noticeable difference on rougher sections. I really appreciate how neutral the handling feels at speed—centered, predictable, plenty of front-wheel bite. The Transmission drivetrain is rock solid, and the Ibis 933 wheels track cleanly through choppy lines. It’s a super-capable trail rig that rides lighter than its numbers suggest."

The Ripley V5 stands at the crossroads of modern trail geometry, advanced suspension engineering, and real-world versatility, delivering a platform that thrives in varied terrain. Its combination of 130mm rear and 140mm front travel is anchored by the DW-Link system, providing impressive climbing efficiency while offering a smooth, supportive feel on fast descents and rocky lines. With Ibis reworking the reach, angles, and size range, this version of the Ripley positions riders in a balanced, centered stance that enhances traction, cornering, and control across all sizes.

Technical refinements support that tuned ride feel. The flip chip opens up MX compatibility, offering sharper cornering and a more playful rear end for riders who want added maneuverability. A threaded bottom bracket, UDH compatibility, 2.5-inch tire clearance, and the new internal storage system highlight durability and practical trail-focused design. The included Cotopaxi storage bags add functional organization inside the frame, keeping weight compact and protected.

On the trail, the Ripley V5 feels light on its feet and ready for speed. The Fox Factory SL 36 fork brings stiffness and sensitivity ideal for technical singletrack, while the Float rear shock delivers excellent mid-stroke support. SRAM’s Eagle Transmission ensures consistent shift performance even under power, and the Maxxis tire setup blends grip with fast-rolling traction. The Ripley excels on rolling terrain, technical climbs, and tight, flowy sections—perfect for riders who want efficiency without sacrificing capability.
