Ibis Ripley AF Deore Mountain Bike, Budget and trail-friendly the Ibis Ripeley AF Deore Mountain Bike brings fun to the trail while we're out ripping old loops and discovering new ones. This beauty of a trail bike leaves no stone unturned or untouched when it comes to building an ideal trail bike for all our riding needs.

Ibis has specced this version of the Ripley with a full Deore groupset refusing to cut corners where other brands might find an easy way to skirt costs. Deore performs incredibly well enjoying much of the high-end tech seen in more expensive Shimano groupsets. The 12 speed 10-51t cassette is paired to a 30t chainring on all models giving us plenty of range to climb over the next mountain. The rear derailleur gets the Shadow+ treatment from Shimano so there's no need to throw on a c...
