After the year of the bike, we’re heading into another hot year for bikes and Ibis is poised to deliver a sweet little number just in time to get into the hands of riders everywhere. Made from lightweight alloy instead of carbon, the all-new 2021 Ibis Ripley AF starts at $2999 for a full Shimano Deore 12-speed build and quality parts kit.
Now, Ibis has both the Ripley AF and Ripmo AF on offer and they represent the easiest way to get into a DW-Link bike — arguably the best suspension design on the market. As is requisite, the 2021 Ibis Ripley AF launches with a killer launch video and some sweet hero shots.
