Expirience with the Ibis Ripley AF SLX

Ludwig Döhl That the Ripley AF SLX is slightly cheaper than the carbon version of the Ripley is visually recognizable. The cable routing in the bottom bracket area looks a bit lacking in body. Nevertheless, the DW-Link rear triangle must also be mentioned as an argument in this Trailbike. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
