We’ve got a fresh shipment of Ibis in the shop, and it’s the good stuff. Ripmo AF, Ripley AF, and a Ripmo XT carbon build are being built up right now.
All three run Ibis’s DW-link suspension, the same design that’s made Ibis some of the best climbing full suspension bikes out there. That matters here in Santa Fe, where you’re pedaling up some steep and loose pitches to get to the good stuff.
Ripley AF
The Ripley AF ($3,999) is the one we’d point most riders toward. It’s light, playful, and pedals emphatically. This is your Dale Ball Trails, Winsor, and pretty much every other trail in town bike. Right now we’ve got Deore builds in stock in Blue Velvet (small and large) and Burnt Orange (medium and extra medium). Want to try one first? We’ve got a Ripley AF Eagle 90 in our demo fleet, and the rental fee goes straight toward your purchase if you decide to buy.
Ripmo AF & Carbon
The Ripmo AF ($4,099, now in a new Deore build alongside the Eagle 90) is built for when the trail gets serious. Glorieta, Rio en Medio, Angel Fire, wherever the climbs are longer and the descents are rowdier, the Ripmo’s got the travel and geometry to back you up. We’ve got Deore builds in Metal (large and extra medium) plus an Eagle 90 in Rose Dust (medium). This is Shimano’s latest update and we’re impressed. The fit and finish leaves little wanting and the shifting is sublime.
For riders who want the same platform in a lighter, stiffer package, we’ve also got a Ripmo XT in Heckleberry Purple (extra medium, $6,799), our one carbon build in stock right now.
Come check them out, take one for a spin, and we’ll help you figure out which one actually fits how you ride.
