"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""Ibis absolutely nailed the balance with the Ripley SL XT Di2. It feels incredibly efficient on climbs but never nervous when the trail opens up. The dw-link suspension stays calm under power, and the XT Di2 drivetrain shifts flawlessly no matter how hard you’re pushing. This is the build I’d grab for long trail days where speed, reliability, and precision all matter.""The Ripley SL XT Di2 Mountain Bike from Ibis is built for riders who want cross-country speed without sacrificing trail confidence. Designed and manufactured in California, this lightweight carbon bike brings race-inspired efficiency together with modern geometry that feels composed and confident on technical singletrack. With 117mm of dw-link rear travel paired to a 130mm fork, the Ripley SL pedals with urgency while staying active and controlled when the terrain turns rough. The suspension delivers excellent traction under power, making steep climbs feel manageable and fast trail sections feel smooth and predictable. Balanced geometry keeps the bike lively at lower speeds and stable when things get fast. Premium components elevate the ride experience. Shimano XT Di2 delivers crisp, consistent electronic shifting, while powerful 4-piston brakes provide confident control on long descents. Integrated Ibis STOW in-frame storage adds everyday trail practicality, rounding out a refined, lightweight build designed for aggressive XC and fast trail riding. 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."
