Ibis Ripley AF Deore Mountain Bike Blue Hour, L

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I was surprised how capable the Ripley AF is—super playful and responsive on tight singletrack, but still holds its own on steeper lines. The Deore drivetrain is bombproof, and the DW-Link suspension keeps the ride efficient and composed even when I'm pushing hard. For the price, this build is a total win."" The Ibis Ripley AF Deore build gives us all the signature fun and speed of the original Ripley—just in a tougher, more budget-friendly aluminum frame. Designed around the legendary DW-Link suspension and playful 29-inch wheels, the Ripley AF brings that quick, nimble handling we crave without sacrificing all-day pedal efficiency or trail confidence. With 130mm of rear travel and a 140mm RockShox Pike fork, this bike encourages us to pick creative lines, pop off every feature, and charge when the trail opens up. Paired with a Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain and SRAM G2 R brakes, the Ripley AF Deore build delivers reliable performance and trail-proven components. Maxxis tires and Blackbird wheels provide grip and strength through rough terrain, while the in-frame storage and molded frame protection keep things practical and quiet. Whether we’re rolling techy singletrack or linking up long backcountry loops, the Ripley AF keeps things light, fun, and ready to party. 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."
