2024 Thunder Mountain RIPLEY AF Shimano Deore Large

The Ripley AF is IBIS's beloved, category-defying, short-travel, singletrack-scorching Ripley - rendered in aluminum, with more aggressive geometry. All the sizzle and pop of the carbon Ripley, now available as a complete bike at a wallet-friendly price.

MODERN GEOMETRY, PRECISE HANDLING
A trail-friend­ly 65.5‑degree head angle and short (44mm) off­set 130mm fork combined with 29” wheels make for a super plant­ed but still play­ful front end feel. A 76-degree seat angle puts your pow­er direct­ly to the ped­als, while the short chain­stays and ped­al-friend­ly dw-link kine­mat­ics deliv­er that pow­er with­out squan­der­ing a sin­gle watt.

DW LINK SUSPENSION
IBIS's 15-year col­lab­o­ra­tion with Dave Wea­gle has yield­ed yet another bike with unpar­al­leled climb­ing effi­cien­cy and tractabil­i­ty. Incred­i­ble snap and respon­sive­ness are its trade­marks, and a whole mess of plush, chun­der-eat­ing, down­hill-crush­ing good­ness gets thrown in for good mea­sure. Wrap that togeth­er, and you get the best sus­pen­sion you’ll find anywhere. It’s that good.
