Ibis Ripley AF XM Blue Deore
Aluminum Trail Bike • 130mm Travel • 29er • Shimano Deore
"It's fast. It's fun. It's unapologetically metal… AF."
Ripley is Good AF at Pretty Much Everything
Perfect for both seasoned shredders and stoked newcomers, the newest AF version packs the same fast, playful feel the Ripley is known for — into a tough aluminum package that's ready for anything.
With 130mm of rear travel and 140mm up front, it climbs efficiently and descends way above its travel class. The confident progressive geometry gives it quick and responsive handling on tight trails while keeping things stable when the speed picks up.
Designed for riders who value agility, capability, and all-around fun, the Ripley AF shares all the features of its carbon counterpart: dw-link suspension, 29" wheels front and rear, with flip chips to run a 27.5" rear wheel (if you're into mullets), and in-frame storage with two included Ibis bags — for all your snacks and tools.
Why Choose the Ripley AF?
Proven dw-link Suspension
Same legendary suspension design as the carbon Ripley. Efficient climbing, planted descending, and exceptional traction on technical terrain.
Progressive Geometry
Quick and responsive on tight trails, stable at speed. The Ripley's geometry strikes the perfect balance for all-mountain riding.
Mullet Compatible
Built-in flip chips let you run a 27.5" rear wheel if you want. Mix wheel sizes for your preferred handling characteristics.
In-Frame Storage
Includes two Ibis storage bags for tools, snacks, and essentials. Keep everything organized and protected inside the frame.
Value-Packed Build
RockShox Pike fork, SRAM G2 brakes, Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain, and quality components throughout at an attainable price.
Tough Aluminum Frame
Durable construction ready for hard riding. Built to handle whatever the trail throws at you, season after season.
