IBIS RIPMO XX1 EAGLE BIKE

DON'T RIPLESS, RIPMO!

The Ibis Ripley and the Mojo have had a child, and it is the Ripmo. The Ripmo is a big wheeled, long travel bike that is always ready for a big climb or big descent. It has a sub six-pound carbon frame with 145mm of rear travel, 160mm of front travel, and uses a highly versatile DW-link. The frame's geometry is nearly an inch longer than the HD4 and has clearance for a 175mm dropper post. The frame has clearance for up to a 2.6" tire, short chainstays, a threaded bottom bracket, in-frame molded internal cable routing, and the ability to run both a rear shock and large water bottle.

The geometry of the frame features a 76° seat tube angle that puts more weight over the front tire. This keeps the front end from wandering or washing out. The Ripmo also uses a fork offset that is shorter than what is traditionally used on a 29er. This makes a 65.9° head angle feel like 64.5° without increasing the wheelbase. You get the stability of a slack head angle and still have the ability to go around tight corners. The Ripmo geometry opens up new levels of confidence-inspiring riding. The frame geometry is designed around a 175mm post or 150mm on the small frame size.

The XX1 Eagle version features a Fox Float 36 factory RC2 fork with 160mm of travel on the front and a Fox Float DPX2 rear shock with 145mm of travel. It comes with Ibis 942 carbon rims beautifully paired with Industry Nine hubs that offer a tubeless-ready, incredibly smooth-rolling ride. These wheels are paired with a Maxxis Minion DHF 29" x 2.5" Wide Trail on the front and a Maxxis Aggressor 29" x 2.5" Wide Trail on the rear.

The drive train features SRAM XX1 Eagle which provides a 12-speed drive train with a 10-50 tooth cassette on the rear. It has a SRAM XX1 Eagle shifter with an XX1 Eagle rear derailleur. The SRAM XX1 Eagle cassette and XX1 crankset with a 32-tooth chainring will provide all the gears you need you climb any hill and ride on any terrain. When you get to the top of the hill, the Shimano Saint hydraulic disc brakes, with 180mm rotors on the front and rear, will provide the unparalleled stopping power on the way down. The cockpit is comprised of Enve Carbon DH handlebars and an Enve Carbon stem and the seatpost is a KS Lev Ci with 175mm of travel. If you're looking for the ultimate 29" bike, then you'll love the Ripmo.

Jenson Journal - "It is going to devour technical descents, but you aren’t going to pay the price by having to arm-wrestle the bike to keep it in a straight line on the next climb." - Matt Long
