Ripmo AF frame blends DW-Link travel with a tough, build-ready alloy chassis
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Ripmo AF frame is a dream platform for building a bike that punches above its weight. The geometry is dialed for everything from enduro racing to techy trail laps, and the aluminum construction means I don’t stress about dings or crashes. It climbs shockingly well and has tons of setup versatility—29 or MX wheels, coil or air, it handles it all."
The Ripmo AF Frame-only option is perfect for riders looking to craft a custom bike that can take on the most demanding terrain without breaking the bank. Sharing geometry and design with its carbon sibling, the Ripmo AF delivers 150mm of rear travel through the ultra-efficient DW-Link platform, with room for a 160mm fork up front. Progressive geometry gives riders a slack 64.5° head angle for stability at speed and size-specific steep seat tube angles to keep climbing balanced and efficient.
The frame is built from aluminum to handle repeated abuse, from shuttle laps to full enduro stages, and comes loaded with features—internal cable routing, molded frame protection, a threaded 73mm bottom bracket, and an ISCG 05-compatible mount with a removable adapter. Coil and air shock compatibility (230x60mm) provides tuning flexibility, while flip chips let you run a 29” rear wheel or go mixed for quicker cornering.
It also includes Ibis’s clever in-frame storage system with dual Stow bags, letting you leave the pack behind on most rides. With room for two water bottles (yes, even on the SM), and clearance for 2.5” tires and up to 220mm brake rotors, this frame is ready for whatever your custom build demands—fast, efficient, and truly metal.
