- Shop the New Ripley: bit.ly/NewIbisRipley
A 29’er with just under five inches of rear wheel travel, the Ibis Ripley has always been the perfect tool for most of us mountain bikers. Since the release of the “Long and Slack” Ripley two years ago, Ibis has added a new bike to their line-up, the wildly popular Ripmo. That bike helped establish a number of standards for the company, things like a much longer front center than their previous models, the use of reduced offset forks, steep seat angles, and mechanical changes like using bushings in the lower link.
For the brand new Ripley, Ibis took all of these design cues and created what is essentially a baby Ripmo - and that’s a good thing.
I did an air punch when you said Ripmo mini.
I really appreciate the information presented at a digestible pace. This bike looks so fun
Thanks! My pleasure!

Looking forward to the longterm review!
Solid as video mate 🤙
Nice paint job
Nice i wish i have a bike like that
I wonder what is Jadyn take on this new Ibis Ripley, because its quite similar to the Evil Following👍🏼
Thanks for the review, very nice. I'd like to ask a little more about your thoughts about running the Ripley with the 120mm fork. My next bike is going to be a 'down-country' aggressive XC bike. I had pretty much settled on the Santa Cruz Blur TR build (from Fanatik, of course!), but the new Ripley has made me pause. The Blur is a couple of pounds lighter, but the Ripley has the more progressive geometry that I am interested in. I know you haven't ridden the Ripley with the 120mm fork, but can you comment on how you think that would fit in the 'down-country' mold?
Your comparing a xc bike to a trail bike. The decision is yours and not Fanatik’s. Unless their hooking you up with a new bike ;) Second most important thing is fit. Take this bike for example the sizing of the OG, LS, V4 varies a lot especially compared to other brands. You might find a brand you can’t comfortably fit on given stock bars and stem. Additionally the stock wheels on the ibis are wide have you ridden them before? The difference is massive in terms of traction, has it’s cons as well.
If you were to go with a 140mm fork, should the offset be 51mm? Or if not, how would it handle with a 51mm offset 140mm fork?
There's no saying it should or shouldn't be 51mm offset. A longer offset fork will give you a more precise, quick steering feel, whereas a shorter offset fork will feel more calm and "locked-in."
One way that you could look at it is that if you ride very fast trails with wide open corners, a reduced offset fork will have a calmer steering feel, but if you ride tight, twisting trails, a longer offset fork will give you a quicker steering feel.
Best regards,

I'm 5'10 and as per your HD4 advise, I went with the Medium and loved the fit.. How did the medium Ripley feel to you?
Im curious how the reach felt as well? I prefer the smaller bike which seems to be more comfortable. Your thoughts?
Hi Micheal! Glad to hear that my suggestion was sound. I haven't grown any more (maybe one day) and felt right at home on the medium Ripley. I believe it had a 40mm stem. If you do like the med HD4 and are thinking of picking up this bike, I think it'd be best to stick with that size.
Cheers!

@@FanatikBikeCoThanks Brutha!!!
What pedals you got on there my man??
Dan would you agree the Ripmo ran smallish ? Can the same be said about the Ripley ?
I’m 6 “ 4 “ looking XL
I wouldn't say that, no, but at 6'4" I'd definitely recommend the XL. Does that answer your question, or not really?
Dan at Fanatik
Is that the new Race Face HG+ Chainring? When is it available?
It's coming! In the meantime, we do have the Wolftooth version: www.fanatikbike.com/products/wolf-tooth-components-shimano-12sp-cinch-dm-boost-chainring
5'10" on a medium? Seems Ibis charts would recommend you ride a Large. How did the smaller bike feel and do you usually prefer a smaller bike?
I am 5'10", with an arm span of 5'10" and a 31" inseam. If I were any taller or if I had longer arms/torso, I'd opt for a large, but as it stands I find larges that conform to modern sizing to be a lot less fun to ride. They are so long that they become more difficult to corner on, move around, etc.
I actually take some issue with their sizing guide, which I've talked with them about. Their sizing guidelines haven't changed in multiple generations of bike. The original medium Ripley was suggested for the same size person as this Gen 4 is, despite it having a wheelbase that was 8 cm shorter, a reach that was 6cm shorter, etc, etc.
They feel that as times have changed, people are looking for different things for their given height, so they have kept true to their recommendations. At the end of the day, there is a good bit of wiggle room, and it is a bit subjective. Best way to figure it out is to demo the bike, or if that's not possible, compare the geo to a bike that you currently own and have a feel for.
Let me know if you have any more questions, and thanks for watching!

@@FanatikBikeCo I was at a demo recently and I am only 6ft with a 32 inseam and they told me I should be on the Xlarge for the Ripmo and Ripley....seemed big to me.
@@Mish913 Where you able to ride the two of them to compare?
@@FanatikBikeCo Yup. I rode both. I like both of them a lot but I think a Ripley would be more reasonable for my East Coast trails I have my downhill bike for when I want to do a park thing. Either one climbed a hell of a lot better than my 26in Banshee Rune. To be honest I really like another bite you guys still at I tried, the evil offering. Descendant better than the ripmo and climbed better than the switchblade, two of which I really liked. In the switchblade climb better that would be the bike I would buy that thing was so much fun the front end was so easy to bring up.
@@Mish913 Both the Offering and the Ripley are phenomenal bikes, the Offering being a lot more similar to the Ripmo, and the Ripley being so light and versatile that it's just a blast to ride. I haven't ridden the Switchblade, but I've only heard good things about it!

So what's the BB height with 120mm fork? I wish Ibis would publish that or better yet just designed the bike around 120/120 travel.
It would be a very close estimate to simply add or subtract 10mm, which would put the bike at 325mm BB height with a 120mm fork. Considering that different tires can be millimeters taller or shorter, that's a more than adequate estimate.
If you really wanted to figure out how much lowering your fork by 10mm would change your BB, you could calculate it with a sine equation!
Cheers,
Dan at Fanatik
I think if you go from a 130mm to a 120mm fork it would only be about a 5mm change. You're only lowering the front half of the bike. And really less than that considering the head angle. Edit: I just did a calc on an online geo calculator and it said 3.7mm lower bottom bracket.@@FanatikBikeCo
@@brianwilliams2907 Thanks. Was that taking into account running a more common 2.3 inch xc tire?
@@brianwilliams2907 Boom. Easy peasy. Thanks Brian!
When is the review coming?
Waiting to get our hands on demos so we can spend a whoole bunch of time on them!!

How do you choose between Mojo, Ripmo and this new Ripley? They look like the same use to.
Ask yourself what kinds of trails you tend to ride, and how you approach them. Do you want an enduro bike or a trail bike? The Mojo is the least aggressive and supports plus tires - if you like those, I'd go with that bike. If you like spending long days in the saddle, the Ripley is probably your best bet. If you'll ever be taking your bike to the bike park, or really love seeking out the gnarliest trail around, I'd go with the Ripmo!
Dan at Fanatik
Fanatik Bike Co. thanks man. Is your bikestore in Vancouver ?
@@fbmenezes Nope, it's in Washington, half hour south of the border.
On a large frame and my size is 5'11.5(181) & 32.7(83) inseam, would you recommend the 185mm dropper vs 160? Thanks
I would! - Dan at Fanatik
@@FanatikBikeCo thanks, went with the 185 Bike Yoke Devine.
Dan can you tell me why Fanatik recommends the FC-M8120-1 crankset w/ 55mm chainline vs the FC-M8100-1 with 52mm chainline?, my understanding is 52mm is max/correct chainline for boost 148 hubs and same as all the SRAM crank options and also XTR..thanks
What do you think about this versus the Ripmo 2 for a rocky trail like Las Vegas?
I personally would pick the Ripley, which is lighter, more nimble, and easier to throw around on the trail.
Dan at Fanatik
Fanatik Bike Co. Thank you. One more advice please. Which would you buy, a 6 month old used Ripmo AF GX build for $3600 or Ripley V4 NX build new for $4000...for the Las Vegas trails? Thank you again!
@@gilbertsales3380 Probably the GX build, as long as it's in good shape.
Gen 3 vs Gen 4? Which is the better climber?
I'm gonna have to go with Gen 4. It is tad lighter, and at this point I'm used to modern geometry and like the feel better. They are both phenomenal in that regard though!
Best,
Dan at Fanatik
So how to choose between a Gen4 Ripley vs a Ripmo?
Ask yourself what kinds of trails you tend to ride, and how you approach them. Do you want an enduro bike or a trail bike?
Dan at Fanatik
Proud Ripmo owner here... it's a great everyday bike but it is burly. It climbs well but really shines when I'm bombing downhill. Big drops, shuttle rides, park laps, hell yeah! If you mostly stay on trails and don't get too rowdy then the Ripley would be a great choice and still very capable. There's no reason to be "overbiked" on your everyday trails.
@@Wizler71 Couldn't agree more. Thanks for the feedback! - Dan at Fanatik
I loved you in the movie Mask!!!
Thank you!
I am 5'9" , 31" inseam and just ordered size M... hopefully i made a right choice by not going to L :)
I would say you made the right choice! I'm a hair taller and like the medium.
Dan at Fanatik
How the M size worked out for you? I am the same height, slitly longer inseam, 1 inch or so. Not sure which one to get M or L . Your input is appreciated, thanks
What size would you suggest for a 6ft tall? I hear allt of people saying I should go XL rather than L
Hello,5'10'',shouldn't you have a large?
I like the medium better, it's more fun to ride.
Cheers - Dan at Fanatik
Would you know what would be the geometry with 140? STA and HTA
I haven't taken the time to measure or do the math, but I'd bet it's around a 66 degree head angle and 75.5 degree seat tube angle.
Can it run a DPX2?
Hi! At this time there isn't a DPX2 that will fit this bike, which runs a 190x45mm shock.
Best,
Dan at Fanatik
I'm hearing people say it climbs crazy awesome but isn't very stable on the downhill. I'm hearing people say the Ripmo is awesome at downhill speed but it doesn't climb like a Ripley.
I'm thinking a MORIP is what is needed, a melding of the three, Mojo for carving, Ripley for climbing and Ripmo for confidence at speed, downhill.
Call it the MORIP or LEMO, whatever, but 135mm rear and 150mm front I believe addresses that niche where most people spend the most time on most trails they ride.
“Raised the bottom by half a centimeter”. Is that a joke?
Not a joke. Takes into account the difference in height you get from running a 120mm fork.
I would love to get one but I am broke. Could you guy's review a bike that is under 25k please. We don't have money to buy the expensive bike's. So please do a video on a budget bike
Gosh, I wish we could sell a bike for $25k! I just built one up for a customer that came in at $6,300, and I could definitely have gotten it quite a bit cheaper.
Also, I did! The GT Sensor, a very similar bike for $1,900

When you really want something you'll find a way to get that thing..c'mon bro this is America!
25 hundred sorry I messed up.
@@jamessalyards8201 Hahah, makes more sense. Check out that Sensor, it's rad!
Can you give me this bike please??
No, sorry!
It isn't even our bike!
