Watsonville, California is where every Ripley SL frame gets built, in a factory Ibis runs entirely on solar power. That process holds this frame under 5 pounds while keeping dw-link's 117mm of rear travel efficient enough to climb hard and supple enough to soak up rough ground on the way down. That size-specific tuning holds the same ride balance across every frame, from the Small up to the Extra Large. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I shift under full power climbing out of a rock garden, and Eagle 90's cable-actuated derailleur doesn't skip or hesitate no matter how hard I'm pushing the pedals. That kind of consistency changes how I ride technical terrain, because I stop backing off before a shift out of habit."Heads up! We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning, and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearhead(R) Experts are always here to help.
