RIPLEY SL

Sungrown in California at Ibis’s fully solar-powered factory, the Ripley SL reflects decades of heritage, handcrafted carbon, innovative engineering, and an unwavering passion for the ride. The result is a 5-pound rocket on wheels, built to move fast and ride hard.

Combining 117mm of DW-link rear travel with 130mm up front, the Ripley SL delivers uncompromising fun when the trail gets rough, especially for riders chasing XC speed. Modern performance comes through thoughtful geometry, refined Ibis STOW in-frame storage with purpose-built bags, space for two bottles, and exceptional quality crafted into every detail at Ibis’s in-house manufacturing facility.

It’s the kind of bike that inspires riders to push harder, ride farther, and choose the longer route simply for the thrill of it.
