Learn More About the 2026 Ibis Ripmo AF Deore
The 2026 Ibis Ripmo AF Deore is built for riders who want real trail performance without the premium price tag. This aluminum version of the Ripmo carries the same aggressive geometry and proven suspension design as its carbon sibling. It is designed to handle everything from technical climbs to fast, rough descents. The DW-Link suspension platform delivers efficient pedaling and excellent traction. It keeps the rear wheel planted on climbs and smooth through rough terrain.
With 160mm of front travel and 150mm in the rear, the Ripmo AF is ready for big days in demanding terrain. The RockShox Lyrik Select fork provides strong support and control when the trail gets steep or rocky. It tracks well through chatter and stays composed on bigger hits. Out back, the RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ shock works seamlessly with the DW-Link design. It delivers a smooth, controlled feel that keeps the bike stable and predictable at speed.
The Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain is simple, reliable, and ready for anything. It offers a wide 10-51T gear range that makes climbing steep terrain more manageable. Shifting is crisp and consistent, even under load. The Deore crankset and chain are built to last and require minimal maintenance. This setup is ideal for riders who want dependable performance without extra complexity.
Braking is handled by Shimano Deore M6120 four-piston brakes. These provide strong, consistent stopping power in all conditions. The larger 203mm front rotor adds extra control on steep descents, while the 180mm rear rotor balances power and modulation. Together, they give riders confidence when speeds increase or terrain becomes more technical.
The Blackbird Send alloy wheelset is built for durability and trail abuse. It is paired with Maxxis tires that are proven performers in aggressive terrain. The Assegai front tire offers excellent grip and control in loose or rocky conditions. The Minion DHR II rear tire rolls efficiently while still providing strong braking traction. This combination gives the Ripmo AF a planted and predictable feel on a wide range of trails.
The cockpit is simple and functional. An Ibis aluminum handlebar and alloy stem provide a solid connection to the bike. The Bike Yoke Revive dropper post is one of the most reliable options available. It allows for quick saddle adjustments on the fly and performs consistently over time. Internal cable routing keeps the bike clean and quiet, while the integrated STOW storage system adds practical on-trail convenience.
One of the standout features of the Ripmo AF is its versatility. The flip chip allows riders to choose between a full 29” setup or a mixed wheel configuration. This gives you the option to prioritize stability or maneuverability depending on your riding style. The frame also includes modern standards like a threaded bottom bracket, UDH compatibility, and Boost spacing. These details make maintenance easier and ensure long-term compatibility with new components.
The 2026 Ibis Ripmo AF Deore is a bike that delivers performance where it matters most. It is tough, capable, and ready for real trail riding. Whether you are climbing technical singletrack or pushing hard on descents, it stays composed and confident. This is a bike built to ride hard and keep going.
