2020 Ibis Ripmo & Ibis Ripley

Of all the different bikes I've ridden over the years, the Ibis Ripley has been the best "do everything" bike I've ever ridden! It doesn't matter the situation you're in, the different trails you've found yourself on... the Ibis Ripley is ready for everything and anything with a slight emphasis on the middle of the road, "everyday" trails I usually ride. With all this said, If your terrain is unusually janky and rough, you might find the Ripley to be not quite enough bike for the higher speed, really rough trails.... in which case the Ibis Ripmo might be more your speed.

If like me, you don't ride incredible rough terrain all that often, (maybe 10% of the time or less) the Ibis Ripley gives you the perfect connection and experience to the trail that you don't always get from a bigger, longer travel bike. And for the other 10% of the time you're on rougher terrain you'll just need to grab a little more brake and slow down ever so slightly so as to not overwhelm the Ripley so much that you get bucked over the bars!! ;) haha
