Hey Everyone Got the chance to take out the 2018 Ibis Ripley LS. Quick impressions are this thing is a climbing rocket. If you like to put in the miles and vertical this is the perfect bike. The front wasn't near as stiff as the rear however so a stiffer fork and maybe a 140mm fork could serve this bike well. Hope you enjoy the video. https://youtu.be/7r8TcFeIU2A

Nice review. I just picked up an identical Ripley GX build. Can’t wait for spring to start eating up the miles.

I’ve had this bike for about a month now. Amazing ride if you like a rocket ship climber and a snappy downhill ride. If you’re more into charging over obstacles as opposed to picking out your lines, you’ll want something with more travel. For my style and the trails I ride in SoCal, this thing is perfect. I posted the fastest time ever on one of the main climbs I do regularly. Can’t say enough about this ride!!
