2023 Ibis Ripmo AF

[the bodj]

Upgrade time! Picked this up this morning to replace my 2011 Kona Stinky TL. Been looking for a while for the best bang for my buck upgrade, and I’m stoked to have found this at the price I did.

One owner, purchased new from JensenUSA. Owner sold because he lived in Palm Springs and it’s too hot to ride for most of the year lol. Looks like everything is stock except for grips and a Specialized seat. The dropper post trigger was pretty disappointing, so I swapped it for my OneUp trigger. Can’t wait to start logging miles on it.

For some reason I dont see an electric motor on it? Did the motor fall off on your way home from the sellers house?

Yeah man it’s already crazy just the build quality. Shifts are crisp instead of mushy. Forks cycle like butter. It really is a totally different feel.

Nah man. This thing is powered by Chevro-legs

I just picked up a carbon Ripmo and love it. I came from a 26” hardtail, so made a big upgrade.

My engineer let me test the bike while in Denver and then he shipped it to me. This pic was after the climb up Maryland Mountain. The next morning we did Rutabaga, which was by far the gnarliest downhill I’ve ever done.


Got the bike home.

I'm loving this thing - huge upgrade! Climbing is definitely improved over the old Kona, but downhill is drastically better.
