Ripmo V3 maximizes trail performance with DW-Link efficiency and adjustable wheel setup
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I love how the Ripmo V3 balances long-travel forgiveness with sharp, efficient handling. The Fox Factory 36 paired with the Float X gives remarkable mid-stroke support, which is noticeable on punchy climbs and rough chutes. The Transmission drivetrain shifts cleanly under full power, and the Send wheels take real abuse without flinching. Being able to switch to a mixed-wheel configuration with the flip chip is a huge bonus for tailoring cornering performance to specific trails."
Built for riders who treat every trail as an opportunity to fine-tune speed and control, the Ripmo V3 brings together long-travel capability, race-inspired geometry, and the ultra-efficient DW-Link suspension platform. Its 160mm/150mm travel combination is dialed for high-output riding—progressive enough to welcome coil setups while maintaining the lively pedaling and mid-stroke support that the platform is known for. Size-specific seat tube angles and kinematics ensure every rider lands in the ideal position, maximizing traction and consistency across the range.
The frame’s technical details push the Ripmo deeper into modern versatility. A flip chip enables riders to choose either a 29-only layout or an MX setup without compromising handling, while a threaded bottom bracket, UDH compatibility, and ample tire clearance keep serviceability easy. Internal frame storage opens convenient space for on-trail essentials, and the included Cotopaxi bags provide rugged organization.
On the trail, the Ripmo V3 shines in demanding terrain where climbing efficiency and downhill stability both matter. Its Fox Factory suspension package offers excellent small-bump sensitivity and controlled ramp, the SRAM Eagle Transmission drivetrain delivers unwavering shift performance under load, and the Blackbird Send wheels bring strength suited for aggressive riding. Whether tackling long backcountry loops, rolling technical ridgelines, or descending enduro-grade rockfall, the Ripmo V3 is engineered for riders who demand both efficiency and absolute composure.
