- Not just an alloy Ripmo
You might think to yourself “oh, an alloy Ripmo? Big whoop.” But this is not simply an alloy frame Ripmo - it is a huckster’s Ripmo. Enduro athletes can rejoice - Ibis has slackened the headtube out by a full degree (64.9 vs 65.9 on the carbon model), and revamped the DW-link suspension to be more progressive. If you ride like a jack-rabbit, popping and skipping off of every bump in the trail, you can run an air shock and preload the bike at a moment’s notice. If you tend to pick your line and plow through any obstacles in your path, the AF is coil compatible. That’s right, you can now get all the small bump benefits from a coil shock on your Ripmo AF.

You guys are downplaying the suspension on these by a lot. The diamond d1 and topaz go toe to toe with the RockShox and fox top of line all day long. After owning a sapphire I won't be going back to fox or rs for the foreseeable future. Make no mistake you are getting top of the line suspension with this bike.
Thanks Gustavo! That was not our intent at all, and we absolutely agree. Not to mention their customer service is beyond exceptional!!
Cheers,
Dan at Fanatik
Gustavo Sanchez Thanks Buddy!
Totally agree man DVO is coming out with fire and their flame is bigger then RS and Fox I don’t care what people say out there DVO best hands down customer service and adjustability for price point good job DVO
@@yofoo138 Can confirm! Called them twice back to back and only waiting about a minute to be helped!
Fox is in its own league
Its soooo sick to see the big boys making some cheaper options on badass bikes. Along with the YT 100% Carbon Free....I am really hoping this becomes a trend in the industry. Carbon is overrated, pollutes and costs way too much; environmentally and financially. Good on you Ibis...stoked!
Gotta Ripmo AF frame. Installed Sun Ringle Duroc 35 wheels, A Durolux-36 fork(yes! a Suntour fork), Deore 11-speed(I'm not wealthy weekend rider). And a DVO Jade coil. With 260 pounds in the saddle, the Ripmo, rides like a Cadillac SUV. Little heavy, but very comfortable. Won't do any Enduro"stunt," riding with it. Can't afford that, and my bodyweight has bad results on today's thinly-built wheels. Going up, on steep inclines(roads), is smooth and enjoyable. Not as fast as a trail rig or hardtail, but the reason I bought it was for support & mild comfort on long work commutes of twenty miles per day. My spine...loves-it.
That's sick! It's about time these companies need to start making mountain biking affordable! I thinks it's absurd to pay 5,6,7 grand for a bike!
The SLX build is amazing value! The perfect all mountain bike!
The Deore build is an even better deal!
So awesome to see Ibis release such rad builds at a great price point!
I just bought a new bike. Now I want this one, the struggle !!!!!
Dope shock pump mic! Kinda wish this was around when I bought my DV9
Haha thanks!! This is a totally different bike - if your DV9 is suitable for the type of trail you like to ride, this would definitely not be.
Thanks for watching!

$100 for the coil upgrade..... Crazy!
The metal SLX with coil would be mine in a heartbeat!!!
Great review. This bike looks awesome! I'm really hoping that Ibis comes out with a beefed up AF version of the Ripley.
I think that's the Ripmo 😉
Thanks for watching!

This will be my next bike!! STOKED AF!!!
Wow..i wasnt expecting that price...thats not bad at all
It most be an aprils fool joke. For that price point I’ll get one without demoing.
G S F I actually went a demo most bikes on the market at Outerbike and my top 3 picks: SB150, Ripmo Carbon and then Ripmo AF.
-The SB150 didn’t climbed as well as the Ripmo’s and nearly impossible to get an affordable deal.
-The Ripmo Carbon felt lighter and faster.
-The Ripmo AF blew my mind in terms of cost vs performance.
Bought the Carbon Ripmo cause I got a super deal on it.
Shockpump mic...nice
Great review and discussions. Thanks!
I'm about to buy a new bike. Was actually gonna buy my friend's 2018 Santa Cruz Hightower C. For $2400. This bike has kind of overturned my reasoning on this purchase. I probably wont have a chance to demo the Ripmo AF beforehand, but I'm thinking about just placing an order. These decisions are hard, because I do feel really comfortable on the Hightower, but this seems like so much more bike for not much more than a 2 year old Santa Cruz.
I owned a Hightower. It is a good bike, but there was something about how the suspension behaved that I never really gelled with. It just felt boring. The Ripmo is more lively feeling.
Give us a holler if you have any questions about the bike!
Cheers,
Dan at Fanatik
@@FanatikBikeCo I ended up ordering the Ripmo AF. I spec'd it out with carbon wheels and bars. Also did it with an SLX build. Kind of blew the whole budget bike theme out of the water, but those are the areas where I wanted to spend the money. The geometry and the DVO suspension where what I mainly wanted out of the AF.
Hard decision between this 29er vs 27.5 CARBON Mojo 3 at almost identical bike build prices!
Finally...got some real background music. Metal is for mountain biking. This is the way
i think this is going to be my first mountain bike at three grand you cant go wrong
Awesome price point. My only complaint is the paint scheme. It looks like they made minimal effort.
Probably because the effort went into what really matters. Yeah, it's nice to have a nifty paint scheme but let's be real, does frame color matter when it's between your legs and pointed down the trail? That said, I personally love raw frames.
It seems to me that most bikes these days are a solid color, like these are. I personally am really fond of the raw colorway. Impossible to hit everyone's tastes with new colors though. I'm just astonished by the price point for such an awesome bike!
Cheers,
Dan at Fanatik
@@FanatikBikeCo I think silver one with the black and gold looks very very sweet
Comparing to Commencal Meta Am essential i'st fox suspension better?
dream bike
Would this make a good trail bike?
Why not get all three builds? Just not into SLX?
I think that was the thought, but I'm stoked on the new SLX. My intent is to get them in!
@@FanatikBikeCo for 1000 extra bucks over the nx wouldnt just buying the upgraded parts and selling the old stuff be substantially cheaper. Im sire ot has to do with the fact that shimano doesnt have good whole sale prices
I want a Ripmo Ti
Can you please name the parts of the cockpit of your AF in the Video. Looks very nice...What bar, stem and grips ? Thanks for the review !
Hi Marco!
Yep, it's the:

@Fanatik Bike Co. Hi there, im wondering how much standower that bike has in L size? Is that top tube too high?
BTW Im 185cm tall.
Thanks in advance.
It has a standover of 750mm, which is relatively low for a large bike. I don't think it is too high, but that is sort of subjective.
Best,
Dan at Fanatik
Hello, .. great review!!
Wondering about the size..I'm 180 cm 5 11.. and currently on a Nomad Med. V4 with 440 reach.. I do like bikes on a smaller size.. what do you think.. L with a short stem or M with a 45mm stem? Thanks again!!
Hi Sandra, sorry for the late response. I think a large with a short stem will have you set up how is sort of intended on this bike. It sounds like you've compared the geo of the two bikes, and if your goal is to replicate the feeling as much as you can, than a medium would be a better option, but I think you should consider the large as well.
Best,
Dan at Fanatik
Intense has some high end full carbon bikes for less. I got the NX Tracer and it's perfect. I have only upgraded the rear shock to a Fox X2 but the fork and wheel specs are amazing for the price. Even the Race Face Ar30 offset rims are tanks and I've hucked to flat onto jagged granite rocks and they don't even get scratched.
On Intense web site it is stated that cheapest Tracer is 3399, which is 400 US dollars more than Ripmo AF cheapest model. Also Tracer comes with Yari fork and monarch rear shock, it is 27.5 bike with obsolete geo. So, no it is not better choice.
@@bitumen83 I didn't mean the they cost less but Intense Carbon Bikes do cost less than Ibis Carbon bikes while still being high quality.
@@bitumen83 hHahaha omg rekkkkktt
Where can i get one shipped to Puerto Rico?
I double checked, we can ship Ibis bicycles to Puerto Rico!
Yeahhhhh that’s my next bike.
Also, with that microphone, this review must have been a lot of *pressure* ....? Sorry, nice bike though and I’ll leave now
Can we get as a frameset?
You can. We don't have them yet but will be getting them in. You can find them here: www.fanatikbike.com/collections/ibis-ripmo-af/products/ibis-ripmo-af-frame-2020
What is the hub engagement????
Great bike! Size for 5ft 9?
I'd say Medium!
Cheers - Dan at Fanatik
Fanatik Bike Co. Thanks a lot
Rich don’t ride with gloves!!
This or the polygon siskiu t8...?
Well, because I'm not familiar with the siskiu, I'm going to have to say the Ripmo AF!! ;)
- Dan at Fanatik
this.
This
I have demoed both. This bike blows the Siskiu T8 and basically every other bike out there.... except an SB150 going downhill. Uphill this bikes blows the SB150.
@@pjsanab the ripmo is like 20% more expensive so I would expect it to be better but is it 20% better?
This ibis Ripmo af dvo coil with slx kit vs trek slash 9.7 carbon on sram gx and fox suspenssion ? Which bike is better?
The Ripmo AF!
😁
There's a lot to that question, but you probably won't be sorry whichever you choose!
Anyone know the name of the song in the beginning edit?
Is the Ripmo a better value over the Santa Cruz Hightower not sure which one to pick
The Ripmo AF definitely is, it's one of the best value bikes I know of.
Fanatik Bike Co. thanks I have a marlin 7 but plan on upgrading to full suspension soon my only concern is there’s no ibis dealers here in Houston so I wouldn’t know where to get it serviced
@@djcoolitoff I wouldn't stress about that, any bike shop that deals with mountain bikes will be able to help you.
Fanatik Bike Co. ended up going with a 2019 Tallboy A R it was on sale for $2800 hope I made the right choice.
@@djcoolitoff You'll be stoked!
Any chance I could buy the ripmo af NX build in the “ship n ride” option? Thanks
Hi, sorry for the delayed response! We can, just shoot us an email at sales@fanatikbike.com with the size, color, and model you want, as well as your shipping/billing address and contact info (name, phone number), and we'll shoot you an invoice!
Cheers,

Hi,
May I ask what size of water bottle do you use? I have a Podium dirt serie and it is too long as the top hits the rear shock.
22 ounce bottle fits in the large frame
@@FanatikBikeCo oh I forgot mine is small frame so I am stuck
I don't like how you say: the components are good/graet for this price. like if u would watch at other bike manufactures who sell alu-frames you get wayyyyy better stuff. And all these comments on a bike that has a carbon frame but entreylevel components for like half the price of a kidney (specialized and trek) for 6-7k i get a rockshox select and a zeb select. for half the price i get on ohter bikes (cube one 77, radon swoop) a zeb ultimate or a fox 38 kashima. And saying that the frame is the special thing, please, there are limits. I just dislike hearing that a 3k bike with NX drivetrain or a 6-7k bike with rockshox select or fox performance is a good deal. I think its not.
how does the ripmo af corner
Like a rippin bike!
Hahaha, it corners really well ;)
Cheers,

Video on bikeyoke? I just went with PNW instead

@@FanatikBikeCo Thank you! how would you say it compares to PNW Components Bachelor?
@@vinces6938 That I couldn't tell you, I have no experience with that dropper.
The Revive is phenomenal though.

What size for 6'1"
Probably large, possibly XL if you have very long arms.
Nice bike but Dvo Suspension is a deal breaker for me
Why? I've heard good things about them...
@@horatio4926 bc in terms of performance fox an RS are the best in my opinion and the service (post-sale) that they provide worlwide it's great, which is smt great for someone like me who lives in south america. Having said that, I think DVO and others brands like cane creek are great, but RS and Fox for me are the simply the best.
Felipe Farias Why’s that?
Another tech weeney splitting hairs based on marketing campaigns instead of real world experience. Its the few rich dudes with their “extraordinary taste” that have turned the bike industry into some kind of boutique crap instead of the market actually having some real product for real riders.
I demoed the Ripmo AF and the Carbon, back to back and the DVO suspension feels as good if not better than the top end Fox suspension on the Carbon. The only downfall of this bike is the 2 extra pounds compared to the Ripmo Carbon.
Bike size if I am 6ft?
Large!
Did I miss how much travel the bike has front and back? Did I miss how much it weighs and did I miss what size wheels it has. Or did they just not mention any of those finer detail? Triple.
Howdy Triple. Ripmo has a 160mm fork and 147mm (5.8") of rear wheel travel, on 29" wheels. You can find all that on our site, right here: bit.ly/RipmoAF
Thanks for watching! - Dan at Fanatik
Are these tubeless tires?
Yep!
If you consider that for the double price you can buy a Harley Davidson Iron, its not cheap but expensive...
Damn you got a nasty set of chompers mate
Thanks for the feedback! I just got them cleaned, they look very nice now. Dentist said they were very healthy!
Cheers mate!

It is $3899 not $3000
So you should say $3899 not $3000 because there is big difference between $3000 and $3899
The difference is $900 not $50
With tax it will be between $4100 and $4200
So it is a $4100 bike not $3000 bike
So when we made this video in 2019 the RipMo AF was originally priced at $3000. Since that time there have been changes to the spec and pricing. So yes you are correct when you say it is now $3899. At the time it was $3000 and a slightly different build spec. Hope that clears it up for you!
Dude you gotta chill. You’re watching 2yr old video 🤯 but hey its sale right now back to original pricing.
