- About our Demo Bikes
A long established classic, the Ripmo is Swiss Army knife of the Ibis bikes range and in some ways, there is no ideal rider for the Ripmo. It's one of those rare middle ground bikes that you could use for almost anything.
Hard enough charging to take on the EDR world cups, or session trails at your local uplift, it's also got the lightness and pedal efficiency for big days out and enough pep not to feel to overbiked when descending mellower trails. Take it wherever you'd normally ride, or push your limits, no matter how you use the Ripmo it's rarely going to feel out of place.
Completely revised for the V3 the new bike improves on an already brilliant platform in almost every area. Based round a 160mm fork, the rear travel bumps up slightly to 150mm and the head angle rakes out a touch to 64.5'. Now modular, the bike can use either a full 29' setup or a 650b rear thanks to a neat flip chip on the upper DW rocker link.
Seat angles are tweaked by size, as is BB height and the linkage is now re-designed and more progressive to work with either air or coil shocks. Standover has also been lowered with all frames now featuring a very nicely executed storage compartment, complete with in frame Cotopaxi pouches to silently store your spares.
After a simple, no nonsense bike that can cover just about every aspect of mountain biking? It could well be the Ripmo.
