Fast, Fun, and Full of Attitude
The Ripley AF takes everything riders love about the legendary Ripley, its speed, playful handling, and all-day versatility, and delivers it in a tough, no-nonsense aluminum frame. With 130mm of rear travel, 140mm up front, and Ibis’s renowned dw-link suspension, it pedals efficiently, handles tight singletrack with precision, and punches well above its travel on the descents. Progressive geometry keeps it agile in the twisties while feeling planted when the speed ramps up.
Like its carbon sibling, the AF comes ready with in-frame storage (including two Ibis bags), 29” wheels front and rear, and flip-chip versatility to run a 27.5” rear if you want a mullet setup. Whether you’re a first-time trail rider or a seasoned shredder, the Ripley AF delivers pure fun at a more approachable price point. It’s quick. It’s capable. And it’s unapologetically metal… AF.
2026 Features:
SIZE-SPECIFIC EVERYTHING
Ibis has created size-specific seat tube angles and suspension kinematics to deliver balance and speed for all riders. Every frame size gets tailored geometry and suspension kinematics, including seat tube angle, chainstay length, and bottom bracket height, so all riders enjoy the same balanced, responsive ride.
FIVE SIZE OPTIONS
A new “Extra-Medium” fills the gap for riders between Medium and Large, covering the sweet spot for most riders between 5’5” and 6’0”.
FLIP CHIP
Run full 29” wheels or a mixed 27.5”/29” MX setup on any size without sacrificing geometry. Extra-Medium and larger sizes ship with 29” wheels; Small and Medium sizes come MX-ready.
DW-LINK
The gold standard for efficiency and control, now with a coil-friendly progressive shock rate inspired by the race-proven HD6 for even better downhill performance.
INTERNAL FRAME STORAGE
A water-resistant, rattle-free latch reveals two included storage bags made from durable, bright-lined fabric, perfect for stashing tools, snacks, and ride essentials.
LIFETIME WARRANTY
If it’s Ibis’s fault, they’ll make it right. Simple as that.
