Ibis Ripmo V2: Refined Performance for Every Trail

The Ibis Ripmo V2 takes an already beloved bike and elevates it with refined geometry, enhanced suspension, and added versatility, making it a top choice for riders who crave performance and adaptability on every trail.

Geometry

• Steep Seat Tube Angle: A 76-degree seat tube angle places you centrally over the pedals, ensuring efficiency and comfort during long rides.
• Slack Head Tube Angle: The 64.9-degree head tube angle, combined with a 44mm reduced-offset fork, provides a stable and controlled ride, excelling in both climbing and descending.

Suspension and Traction

• Custom Traction Tune: The Ripmo V2 features a custom suspension tune with extra light, high-speed compression and rebound damping, offering exceptional traction and momentum over rough terrain.
• Coil Compatibility: The bike’s progressive leverage rate makes it compatible with both coil and air shocks, providing a supple suspension feel throughout the stroke and enhancing traction on any trail.

Dropper Post and Tire Clearance

• Dropper Post Compatibility: The Ripmo V2 accommodates dropper posts of various lengths, with smaller frames fitting 125-150mm and medium to XL frames accommodating up to 185mm posts.
• Versatile Tire Clearance: The frame is designed to handle a wide range of tire sizes, allowing you to choose the best tire for your riding style without worrying about clearance issues.

Durability and Maintenance

• Bushings and Bearings: Ibis uses IGUS bushings in the lower link, which are lighter, stiffer, and require less maintenance than traditional bearings. These bushings come with a lifetime replacement guarantee.
• Protection: The bike is equipped with a polycarbonate downtube protector, molded rubber swing arm protectors, and linkage protectors, all designed to keep your bike in pristine condition.

Frame and Build Details

• Lightweight Carbon Frame: The Ripmo V2’s carbon frame is optimized for strength, weight, and stiffness, weighing in at just 6.25 lbs with a DPX2 shock.
• Internal Cable Routing: Clean and efficient, the internal cable routing system uses molded carbon fiber tubes, making maintenance easy and keeping the bike’s aesthetics sleek.
