Long live aluminum

Ibis is flying the flag for aluminum as a frame material. The latest result from this melting pot is the Ripley AF, which is naturally cheaper than its carbon fiber counterpart. In terms of riding characteristics, it should in no way have to hide from its more expensive sibling.

In the Ripley AF, Ibis packs everything that belongs in a trail bike today: 130 millimeters of travel at the front and 120 millimeters at the rear, 29er wheels, a modern geometry with short chainstays, flat steering angle and steep seat angle. The geometry of the aluminum version is even a tick more aggressive than the carbon model.

The seven-year warranty on the frame and the lifetime replacement of the plain bearings on the rear triangle are very customer-friendly. The approval for tires up to 2.6 inches, the bolted bottom bracket and the removable ISCG05 mount are also practical. The Ripley AF is available in two equipment variants or as a frame kit.
