Ibis Ripley AF – Blue Velvet – Shimano Deore 12-Speed – 130/140mm Trail Bike
$3,499 – Available in Small and Medium
Fast. Fun. Unapologetically metal AF. The Ripley AF brings Ibis's legendary dw-link suspension and versatile trail geometry to an aluminum frame at a price that doesn't require a second mortgage. 130mm of rear travel, 140mm up front via a RockShox Pike, and a flip chip that lets you run full 29" wheels or convert to mullet (29" front / 27.5" rear) for even more playfulness. This Blue Velvet build pairs Shimano Deore 12-speed with SRAM G2 4-piston brakes and Ibis 933 alloy wheels with Maxxis rubber. New, fully assembled, sold by an authorized Ibis dealer.
IS THIS BIKE FOR YOU?
The Ripley AF is for riders who want a capable, honest trail bike that climbs efficiently and descends with confidence — without overpaying for carbon. If you want a bike that does everything well for under $3,500, this is it.
