Top-tier Ripmo trail bike with carbon wheels, electronic shifting, and dw-link suspension
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“The XTR build highlights how capable the Ripmo chassis really is. The Hydra hubs engage instantly, the S35 carbon rims keep the bike tracking accurately through rough terrain, and the XTR Di2 drivetrain shifts flawlessly under load. It’s a high-end trail setup that feels efficient, precise, and extremely confident when pushed.”
The Ripmo V3 is engineered to perform across a wide range of trail conditions, combining efficient climbing characteristics with composed downhill handling. Its dw-link suspension platform provides excellent anti-squat while remaining active under braking, resulting in a stable and predictable ride on technical terrain. With 160mm of front travel and 150mm of rear travel, it strikes an ideal balance between trail efficiency and aggressive capability.
This XTR build pairs the Ripmo frame with premium components focused on precision and durability. Ibis S35 carbon rims provide a wide, supportive tire platform, while Industry Nine Hydra CL hubs deliver extremely rapid engagement for immediate power transfer. Shimano XTR Di2 electronic shifting ensures consistent performance in variable conditions, and Fox Factory suspension components maintain traction and control on demanding descents.
Practical features round out the design. Mixed-wheel compatibility allows riders to tune handling preferences without geometry compromises, internal frame storage offers secure carrying capacity, and modern standards like a threaded bottom bracket and UDH compatibility simplify long-term ownership. The Ripmo V3 XTR build is a refined, high-performance trail bike designed for riders who want uncompromising capability.
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.
