2025 Ibis Ripmo X0 AXS

If you want a bike ready to handle everything from steep descents to long climbs while letting your ride whatever you like in betweem, the 2025 Ibis Ripmo X0 AXS deserves a close look. It blends aggressive trail capabilities with all-around versatility, making it a solid pick whether you’re charging enduro races or just heading down whatever trail looks the most interesting that day.

Front Suspension

The front suspension uses a 29” Fox Float 36 Factory fork with 160mm of travel and a GripX damper. This setup provides smooth, controlled performance whether the trail is full of rock gardens or fast, rough sections.

Rear Suspension

Out back, a Fox Float X Factory shock with EVOL air spring and a two-position switch helps you stay stable and responsive. It adapts well to absorbing small bumps and popping off bigger hits. The Factory series is pretty much the ultimate in performance so you're well covered here.

Drivetrain

Shifting is straightforward and precise thanks to the SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission wireless drivetrain. It doesn't get much better than this in terms of near-instantaneous, reliable shifting. The wide-range 10-52 cassette makes climbing easier, and the whole system is attentive and quiet when you put it through its paces.

Brakes

You'll also find a set of SRAM Code RSC 4-piston brakes paired with 200mm front and 180mm rear Centerline rotors. These offer great modulation and control, which is important when zooming down tricky descents or needing to grab speed in tight spots.

Wheels and Tires

Wheels are the Blackbird Send alloys with 32 spokes and Ibis hubs designed for smooth engagement and easy service. They are wrapped with a classic Maxxis combination: Minion DHF 29x2.5” EXO+ upfront for cornering grip and Minion DHR II 29x2.4” EXO+ out back for reliable traction and braking.

Cockpit

The cockpit uses an 800mm wide Blackbird Carbon handlebar with a 30mm rise, paired with a lightweight Blackbird stem. It's stiff enough to provide direct feedback and calm enough to reduce trail chatter. The Cane Creek headset keeps steering smooth and dependable over time.

Dropper Post and Saddle

A Bike Yoke Revive dropper post with a 34.9mm diameter lets you lower your saddle quickly when the trail gets gnarly and pop back up for efficient pedaling. The WTB Silverado Ti saddle blends comfort with light weight, helping you stay in the saddle for longer rides.

All told, the Ripmo X0 AXS is a strong choice for riders who need a bike that can take a hard hit but still pedal back up ready for more. It's built to perform across different terrain, keeping you confident whether you’re climbing tight switchbacks or bombing down technical descents.
