Ibis Ripmo
The Ibis Ripmo refuses to be categorised, blurring the boundaries between trail and enduro bikes: it’ll make an excursion to the bike park just as happily as it’ll ride a marathon in the Alps. Besides the increased traction of the 29″ wheels and the potent suspension, we were particularly convinced of the excellently balanced geometry. The flowing lines of the carbon frame and the impeccable quality of the workmanship testify to the perfectionism of this US brand. With components such as the long-travel dropper seatpost, the build spec is excellent, but you can also customise it to suit your individual requirements using the configurator. Our conclusion? The Ibis Ripmo is the perfect mountain bike, able to master the balancing act between the potency of an enduro bike and the agility as well as the direct handling of a trail bike.
