Expirience with the Ibis Ripley GX

Ludwig Döhl With its curved frame shape, the Ripley GX represents the design principles of Ibis like hardly any other bike in the portfolio of the Americans. And of course, this bike, like all models of Ibis, with the proven DW-Link rear suspension system. The moderate 66,5 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Ibis. With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature.
