Pros

  • It climbs really well, is pretty playful, and if it’s good enough for pro racers it will probably suit your needs too.
  • I have the Ripmo AF and it's a fantastic bike, well regarded for climbing ability. The rear end is so nice. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. I do some flow but a lot of steep or janky tech, including double black trails in North Vanco...
  • I've been looking at new Ripmo AFs, Commencal Meta sx/tr/v5, Kona Process.

  • Ibis Ripmo AF or a Propain Tyee.

Cons

  • Ripmo AF is going to be burllier than you probably want.
  • I’ve also been eyeing the Ibis Ripmo AF, which seems to have the best specs at this price point, but I’ve heard it’s a bit burly. Not sure if the trails around New England really warrant that much bike.

I have the Ripmo AF and it's a fantastic bike, well regarded for climbing ability. The rear end is so nice. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. I do some flow but a lot of steep or janky tech, including double black trails in North Vancouver/Squamish, and it doesn't hold me back.

I have an ibis ripmo af with a marzzochi coil fork and bomber air shock. ... Now I’m new to full sus bikes and trying to learn as I go, so I guess my question first is, it normal to double the volume spacer size, I didn’t add anymore pressure, staying at 200 psi, and it seems to be working out from what little experience I have.

In the end, I was sold on the Ripmo for the better suspension platform and value.

Ibis Ripmo AF is on a great sale right but same story travel wise.

Other solid choices would be the Ripmo AF, Stumpjumper Evo and Norco Sight.
