Thanks for the review Mo. To be honest, I'm now more confused on what bike I want to purchase....lol. But I am leaning on the Ripley over most other mountain bikes on the market.
Hi Mo, great review as allways, even as a sponsored rider, I feel you tell the truth about the bikes. Do the Ripley AF come as a frame only option? And I would deffently go for the green coloured bike, it looks so good.
It’s always good to watch your videos 👍🏻 I’m riding a Ripmo af medium size and I love the bike. I’m a heavy rider and I’m looking for a lighter bike 🚲 do you think the Ripley af will be good ?
For an aluminum trail bike the weight is actually quite light, I think Ibis has a real winner here. Of course I already have a Ripmo AF, which is the quiver killer, so not in the market for a new bike.
i dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
@Abdullah Danny thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Looking at this bike for short list, The Deore is great and the next up N/GX is super compatible. Also great for the price over the Tallboy and in line with the Stumpy comp.
I have a 2020 trance 29er alloy and love it. had hoped that ibis would do a ripley af .it could be my next bike I think supply could be a issue at the moment ibis will sell heaps of them
Thinking of building one up, do you think a dpx2 shock would be unnecessary or be awesome? I mostly ride trails but will be at a bike park from time to time.
Funny, I asked ibis when the Ripmo AF first came out, if they plan to make a Ripley AF. At the time, they said we have to see how sales do first. They been crushing it so far, and thought it was just a matter of time. Low and behold!!.....LOL. I'm assuming the stability is more on point as "Mo Awesome" explained? It seems to me the common criticism on all Ripley models is the stability. The extra weight on the AF must seal deal in the stability category? I would love to demo one and if I had to buy one I would go with green - looks sick!! However, I'm very content on my Ripmo V1...LOL. I have a lot of love for the Ripley though, since it was my first Ibis and have a lot of great memories with her.
Would this be good for me if I enjoy sending it big on trails but also do 5-6 xc races a year? My only is the suspension when I’m jumping and just playing around
It's a nice bike for sure, however I just bought a 2021 Polygon T8 with a great spec and basically the same geo. for 800.00 dollars less. Yes it has the Fox Rhythm 34 and no flip chip but I would rather save almost a grand than be able to make my bike 1/2 degree slacker. Besides how many people really set that chip back k and forth on a regular basis ?
I absolutely have no clue about mountain bikes, just here to support the homies
😂😂😂😂😂😂
You guys are the best mountain biking channel out there just watching your videos makes me wanna ride
Glad I got my Ripmo AF already. I would be spazzing out trying to decide between the two. At least I know what my next bike will be already. 🤘
Nice review Mo! 13 mins ago I was not in the market for a new bike. Currently punching some numbers and checking my bank account... 😅
😂😂😂
@@moandhannahtravel Do you know if buying the frame only will be an option in the future?
@@josh_on_bikes according to what I read, yes, Just probably not before the first whole bike orders are completed. Something like that.
Super excited for another option from ibis I do love me a good aluminum bike
Alloy is awesome!!!!
Ibis killin the game with their AF bikes! 🤘😎🤘
So true!!!
I really want one. How does it compare to a Santa Cruz tallboy?
9:33 looked tough but you made it look so smooth. well done.
Thank you!!!
Thanks for the review Mo. To be honest, I'm now more confused on what bike I want to purchase....lol.

That THUMBNAIL is epic!!! Those pit viper shades are epic. Comments that have nothing to do with this vid LOL!!!
Hahahahah!!!!

Thanks so much!!! And yes it does but I think frame only is tough to find for right now, but should be available soon! -Mo
Nice review Mo, what size frame were you riding XL or Large? and not sure did you say they are 27.5 tires ?? Ride onnnnnn.
29 and XL!! Thanks!!
Mo is taller than he he appears in videos. Lol. Over 6 foot tall
Short travel 29 er is the shit!!!!
So true!!!
Really solid review and breakdown Mo
How do you compare Fox vs DVO suspension?
Awesome review! Thanks for comparing to ripmo AF and carbon ripely. 👍🏻
It’s always good to watch your videos 👍🏻
I’m riding a Ripmo af medium size and I love the bike. I’m a heavy rider and I’m looking for a lighter bike 🚲 do you think the Ripley af will be good ?
Great job guys I will be turning the Ripmo in this year for a Ripley thank you

@Abdullah Danny It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out !
@Allan Quinton No problem =)

You will love it! Great time to be a mountain biker!
@@moandhannahtravel It's been 20 years since my last new bike, for sure it will be amazing.
Shaun is the man, very helpful.

So many good bikes right now, it is awesome!!
Wait, Boy Scout trail? Isn’t that where BKXC was riding today?
I want this bike but when can I get one, June 2022 ??!
johnny bravo call Shaun at n+1 he might have some left! 😂😜
That's a sick color 🔥 I wonder what would be better a ripmo or a ripley for the Midwest 🤔
Both!!! hahahaha
I would say ripmo, it can do everything, with the Ripley, you dont have the travel for bigger stuff.
@@americantrailrider7031 I don't know the Midwest has much "bigger" stuff
What size frame did you ride and how tall are you?also what size would you recommend for a 6ft tall rider
Love that color, wish they had it for the carbon Ripley!
Shawn Conrad We love it too!!!
@@moandhannahtravel it’s kind of like that awesome green/blue color on the Mojo. Sooo sweet! Keep rippin’ guys!
Pairing this with my RipmoAF would literally cover everything. Bummed I can't use RAF anymore though lol
You missed the switchback!😂 You needed up going on Skyline which is a black diamond. Boy Scouts a blue😂
yeah I made that mistake once!
hahahahah!!!!
How about comparing it to the Ripmo V1?
It’s the same geometry.
awesome initial review Mo. definitely checkout Shaun at N1.
Ibis or Trek Fuel EX 7? help!!!
Looked like they are 2 piston brakes. Did they cope ok
They are okay, will probably upgrade to 4 piston personally but 2 was solid for most trails!! -Mo
I am 6'1", 32/33 inseam. Do you recommend a L or XL?
Ha ha I'm getting mine from him Saturday, love the Green 🍏 color. 🔝🚴🚴🏼♀️🔝📽️💯.. stay stoked 🤙🤘👍🤟
So awesome!!!!
Pardon, what Size Ripley AF is in this video? 🙏🏻
Size XL!
I thought I read the top tube incorrectly. It is indeed Ripley AF, no kidding
Thinking of building one up, do you think a dpx2 shock would be unnecessary or be awesome? I mostly ride trails but will be at a bike park from time to time.
Upgrades?
Stay tuned!!
How tall are you and what size did you ride?
XL!
Ibis Exie AF?

Man I want one of these so bad. Too bad my local shops can't even get them because #COVID 😢
I wonder how long of a wait for this Ripley AF ? Been waiting for my v2 going on 5 mos now 😣
Bike shops should have already gotten a few ripleys! Yeah wait times have been tough on the RipMo but it’s worth it!!! You will be stoked!!
Your reviews are very helpful Mo. It's what made me decide on the V2, keep it up 👍. Regards to Hannah thr kook 😃
Bottom line is the carbon Ripley 1200.00 better than AF Ripley probably not....cheers!
Siiiickk
Would this be good for me if I enjoy sending it big on trails but also do 5-6 xc races a year? My only is the suspension when I’m jumping and just playing around
what if you put an angle headset on the carbon ripley so it was 65.5 HA? would it be clearly better than the AF?
It's a nice bike for sure, however I just bought a 2021 Polygon T8 with a great spec and basically the same geo. for 800.00 dollars less.

this thing looks sweet! Now if they only made the Mojo HD in metal...
have you ever fallen and hurt your elbow ?
Ah what the hell I want one
hahahahah!!!
Sweeeeet!!
Nice
👌 ko
Doesn’t look all that great 🥴 so many other great looking bikes out there.. and probably a bit cheaper. 🤷♂️
Do you mind to elaborate a little???
@@DanTheMan_75 yt industries, canyon, commencal, giant.. those companies make nice looking bike. They’re more consumer friendly too.
Siiiick
Siiick!!!!
