£1999.00 – Ibis Ripmo AF Deore Mountain Bike – 2023 – Charcoal Grill / XLarge

Description

The Ripmo AF (Aluminum Frame) brings the award-winning performance of the carbon Ripmo to a wider, rowdier audience. It’s everything Ibis love from the carbon Ripmo, plus a few tweaks.    It’s Metal Over Ibis’s long tenure from mountain biking’s awkward adolescence to its current anything shreddy era, they have experimented with steel, aluminum and titanium. Ibis remember the metal times too, and it feels good to offer a premium ride experience to Ibis family of riders, courtesy of durable, affordable aluminum alloy.   Modern Geometry With a steep, 76-degree seat tube angle and a rangy but not stratospheric reach, the Ripmo AF places riders centrally and upright over the bottom bracket. It makes for an efficient position that can go the long haul with­out placing too much weight on its slack, 64.9‑degree headtube angle. A 44mm reduced offset fork is more sure footed on steep descents and steadies high speeds. Better up, better down.   Frameset: Frame: Ibis Aluminum. Fork: Marzocchi Bomber Z1 Coil – 160mm.
