Ibis Ripley XT Di2 Mountain Bike Green Flash, L

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve been riding the Ripley V5 XT build for a while, and it nails that perfect trail feel—quick to accelerate, easy to throw around, and still composed when the terrain gets chunky. The DW-Link keeps it surprisingly efficient on long climbs, and the 36SL fork adds stiffness without extra weight. Shimano’s XT Di2 shifting is super crisp and consistent, and the BikeYoke dropper has enough travel to stay out of the way on steep descents. It’s the kind of bike that makes any trail feel more fun."" We take the Ripley V5 XT out when we want a trail bike that climbs effortlessly and rewards us with lively handling on the way back down. Ibis built this version of the Ripley around DW-Link efficiency and a bump in travel, giving it 130mm of rear suspension supported by a Fox Factory Float shock and a Fox Factory 36SL fork up front. The result is a bike that feels energetic on rolling singletrack yet confident when the trail tightens or steepens. With the brand’s dialed geometry and a lightweight carbon monocoque frame, the Ripley urges us deeper into the forest and keeps the stoke high all day long. The XT build layers on premium performance with the crisp precision of Shimano XT Di2 shifting, powerful four-piston XT brakes, and the smooth action of the BikeYoke Revive Max dropper. Size-specific kinematics ensure every rider experiences balanced traction and a centered pedaling position. Internal frame storage keeps essentials locked down with Cotopaxi’s sustainably sourced bags. Paired with durable Ibis 933 wheels and Maxxis 2. 4-inch tires, the Ripley V5 XT is made for adventure—long ridge traverses, fast after-work loops, and big weekends where trail variety is the whole point.
