Ibis Ripmo GX AXS Transmission Carbon Wheel Mountain Bike Purple, S

Back with an array of updates and improvements, the Ibis Ripmo brings home both anticipated and unexpected changes for 2024. The new Ripmo bumps up the rear travel from 147 to 150mm of DW-Link suspension, slackens out the head tube angle, and lengthens the wheelbase over the previous model for a more capable bike all over the mountain. Ibis also updated their sizing range, and now give us five sizes with a much broader range of fitment compatibility.

The GX Transmission Carbon Wheel build has everything a serious trail and enduro rider could ever need. Ibis's premium carbon frame is made to the highest standards and is made with premium carbon fiber. Plus, it features new size-specific chainstays and seat tube angles for a more balanced fit.

Kudos to Ibis for equipping the Ripmo with a Fox Factory Float X rear shock on all builds and Fox's new Float 36 Factory GripX fork on the majority of builds for top-tier suspension performance. This build is topped off by Industry Nine carbon wheels and hubs for excep...
