Ibis Ripley Frame Weight

Our testers were spoiled aboard the top level model which weighs right around 26 pounds.

Ibis ripley frame weight. If you took the shock out of the equation the frames would weigh the same. Lightweight premium carbon for everyone whether you order an xtr or nx kit you ll get the same pre mi um car bon fiber frame. If ripley is 6 1 plus shock you re still only a pound difference in frame weight for an inch more travel. The rip ley weighs 5 lbs with out shock.

First off ibis cut over a 1 2 pound out of the frame weight then steepened the seat tube angle by 3 degrees and increased reach by an average of 45mm per frame size. Despite all the newness the new ripley frame is almost 295 grams lighter. They say 5 1 for ripley sans shock. Secondly those bearings impede the seat post which means that fitting a longer dropper on the previous ripley was often times not possible.

Ibis lists 6 1lbs for ripmo frame weight but doesn t specify whether it includes dpx2. A blend of modern geometry worthy suspension bits and super light and stiff frame materials combine to make this bike a worthy trail ripper. It s probably one of the best climbing trail bikes period. The new ripley 4 aka mini ripmo lives up to the ripley legacy.

The ripley frame weighs 5 lbs.
