Expirience with the Ibis Ripley SLX

Ludwig Döhl With its curved frame shape, the Ripley SLX 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 trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Ibis. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. The Ibis Ripley SLX shows what its capable of in the downhill. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Ibis puts a lot of trust in its products.
