Ibis Ripmo SLX 29/MX Carbon Mountain Bike

Key Features:

• Frame Material: Carbon Fiber, offering a lightweight, stiff, and responsive ride. The frame includes internal cable routing for a clean look and downtube storage with custom Cotopaxi bags for carrying essentials.

• Wheel Size: Designed to be versatile, the Ripmo features a flip chip that allows riders to choose between a full 29" wheel setup for maximum rollover capability or a mixed ("mullet" or MX) setup with a 29" front wheel for stability and a 27.5" rear wheel for enhanced maneuverability. Small and Medium sizes typically ship with the MX configuration, while X-Medium and larger sizes come with 29" wheels.

Suspension:

• • Front: 160mm travel Marzocchi Bomber Z1 29" fork, providing excellent control on technical descents.

• • Rear: 150mm travel DW-Link suspension with a Fox Float X Factory Series shock. The DW-Link is known for its efficient pedaling and plushness on descents, offering a balanced and controlled feel. The frame is also compatible with coil shocks for riders seeking a different suspension feel.

• Drivetrain: Shimano SLX M7100 1x12 speed, offering smooth and reliable shifting with a wide 10-51t cassette range. The crankset is typically a Shimano SLX M7100 with size-specific crank arm lengths (SM-MD: 165mm, XM-XL: 170mm) and a 30T chainring.

• Brakes: Shimano XT M8120 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with Shimano SM-RT66 rotors (203mm front, 180mm rear). These brakes provide consistent and powerful stopping performance, crucial for demanding trails.

• Tires: Maxxis DHF 29" x 2.5" EXO+ (front) and Maxxis DHR II (Small-Medium: 27.5" x 2.5" EXO+, X-Medium-XL: 29" x 2.5" EXO+) tires. This combination offers excellent traction and confidence on varied terrain.
