Ripley 29 Carbon 29er Full Suspension Frame
Ibis' goal was to bring the advantages of a 29 wheel to a lightweight, nimble and fun trailbike. They think 120 mm of travel is the sweet spot for a snappy bike that isnt cumbersome or heavy. Ibis also wanted the Ripley to be configurable for a wide range of terrain and riding styles, so they made it compatible with 120140 mm travel forks.
They asked Dave Weagle (Mr. dw-link) to give the Ripley pedaling efficiency, XC-like acceleration and optimization for 29er specific gearing in addition to the usual dw-attributes such as excellent small bump compliance, predictable travel through the range with no wallowing or harsh bottom out. This version of the dw-link, like the ones hes done for Ibis in the past, delivers on the promise.
