The Ibis Ripley has been given a general overhaul. New rear triangle, more tire clearance, new internal cable guides and a new trail-oriented version with the Ripley LS.

In the spring of 2002, a traditional name in the mountain bike business became a victim of the sluggish economy - the Ibis stretched its wings, so to speak. However, the brains behind the traditional brand, Joe Castellano and Scott Nicol, never gave up, and lo and behold: the unconventional, exclusive bikes from the USA are celebrating their rebirth under the name "Castellano Designs". It all starts with the "Fango", a softtail with an aluminum frame that used to be sold as the Ibis "Ripley".
