With multiple Best in Test awards and years of racing at the notoriously brutal Enduro World Series, the Ibis Ripmo has long been a benchmark trail-slaying machine. The latest version takes it further, adding internal down tube storage, a flip chip for mixed wheels, a slacker head angle, better coil shock compatibility, expanded sizing and size-specific details right down to bottom bracket height.

The flip chip lets you run 29" or mixed 27.5"/29" (MX) wheels on every size without compromising the geometry. XM and larger ship set up for 29", while Small and Medium are set up for MX. The acclaimed dw-link suspension delivers 150mm of efficient-climbing, hard-descending travel, and drawing on the race-proven HD6, the Ripmo now has a coil-friendly progressive rate and a shorter clevis, so it'll take pretty much any coil shock. Size-specific kinematics mean every size pedals brilliantly while staying calm on challenging trails.

The frame storage latch works easily even with cold, muddy gloves, and the water-resistant, rattle-free door hides two bags made with Cotopaxi from remnant and dead-stock fabric, so each is colourful and unique.
