Ripley Bike combines DW-Link suspension, carbon construction, and trail-ready geometry
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Ripley stands out for how fast it feels on climbs while still being fun on descents. It’s a great choice for riders who want one bike that can handle nearly any trail."
The Ripley Bike represents the evolution of modern trail riding. Its carbon monocoque frame integrates DW-Link suspension for efficient climbing and controlled descending, creating a ride that feels lively yet composed. Increased travel and refined geometry give it confidence on rough terrain without sacrificing responsiveness.
With a 140mm fork, 130mm of rear travel, and the option to run mixed wheels via a flip chip, the Ripley adapts easily to different riding styles. Thoughtful features like internal frame storage and size-specific tuning make it a trail bike built for long-term enjoyment and real-world versatility.
Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning—and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.

Adventure Awaits
Size-Specific Everything
Every rider deserves the same ride feel. Size-specific seat tube angles, suspension kinematics, chainstay length, and bottom bracket height keep the Ripley balanced and fast across all frame sizes.
5 Sizes
With 80% of riders between 5'5" and 6'0", Ibis introduced a new Extra-Medium (size 3) for a more precise fit. The Ripley now offers five sizes to better match rider proportions.
Flip It
A flip chip lets riders run 29" wheels or a mixed 29"/27.5" MX setup without compromising geometry. The Ripley ships with 29" wheels.
DW-Link Suspension
The dw-link suspension platform delivers efficient climbing and confident descending. Size-specific kinematics keep every frame size pedaling efficiently while staying smooth on rough trails.
Internal Frame Storage
Carry tools and snacks inside the frame with a water-resistant, rattle-free storage system. The easy-to-use latch works even with gloves in cold or muddy conditions. Includes two Cotopaxi-made storage bags crafted from remnant materials.

Built To Fly
Ibis Cycles started in 1981 when founder Scot Nicol opened a tiny workshop near Mendocino, California, with no big plan beyond building mountain bikes that were fun to ride and tough enough for the rough stuff. Today, from its home base in Santa Cruz, Ibis remains a small, rider-owned company focused on doing a few things really well: designing carbon and aluminum mountain bikes that climb efficiently, descend playfully, and feel lively every time you point them down the trail. With long-time owners and in-house engineering still deeply involved in the day-to-day, the brand stands for bikes that are light, durable, and above all, a blast to ride—whether you are racing, lapping local trails, or just chasing that next perfect corner.
