Expirience with the Ibis Ripmo AF SLX

Ludwig Döhl The Ripmo AF SLX is the cheaper trade-off of the Carbon Ripmos. The emphasized good DW-Link rear stay the bike nevertheless. The flat 64,9 degree head tube angle of the Ibis Ripmo AF SLX oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. At the seating position, Ibis combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the Ibis doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build Enduro in the same price range that are more focused on descends. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Ibis is behind its products.
