What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"This is the no-compromise Ripley SL. The XTR Di2 drivetrain is unbelievably precise, the braking power is excellent, and the carbon wheels make the bike feel instantly responsive. It climbs effortlessly, holds speed on flats, and stays calm when the trail turns technical. If you want the most refined version of this platform, this is it."The Ripley SL XTR Di2 Carbon Wheel Mountain Bike from Ibis is built for riders who want the lightest, most refined expression of cross-country speed with real trail capability. Designed and manufactured in California, this premium carbon build blends race-level efficiency with confident, modern handling for demanding terrain. With 117mm of dw-link rear travel paired to a 130mm fork, the Ripley SL pedals with exceptional efficiency while remaining composed through roots, rocks, and high-speed corners. The suspension maintains traction under power, making long climbs feel smooth and controlled, while the balanced geometry delivers stability and confidence when speeds increase. Top-tier components define the ride experience. Shimano XTR Di2 electronic shifting delivers lightning-fast, consistent gear changes, while powerful XTR 4-piston brakes provide precise modulation and control on long descents. Carbon wheels reduce rotational weight for faster acceleration and sharper handling, and integrated Ibis STOW in-frame storage adds everyday trail practicality to a truly elite build.
