Ibis Ripley SL — Race Bred & Trail Fed
Sungrown in California in Ibis’ 100% solar-powered factory: handcrafted carbon, clever engineering, and an obsessive passion for the ride—resulting in a “5-pound rocket on wheels.”
Why the Ripley SL
- 117mm of dw-link rear travel paired with 130mm up front—built for riders chasing XC speed without giving up fun when trails get rough.
- Modern trail performance: thoughtful geometry, tuned suspension, and in-frame storage with meticulously designed bags.
- Room for two bottles inside the front triangle (sizes MD, XM, LG, XL).
- Made in California in Ibis’ in-house, solar-powered manufacturing facility.
Quick highlights
- Frame + shock weight claim: 5 lbs.
- Colors: Gold Rush, Tahoe Blue, Raw Carbon.
- Sizes: Small–X-Large (5 sizes), fits riders between 1m52 and 2m00.
- Availability: limited quantities so order to delivery may be longer than other models
