Ibis Ripley Geometry
The revised Ibis Ripley 5 is offered in Small, Medium, Extra Medium, Large and Extra Large frame sizes. This covers MTB riders from 5′ to 6’7″ tall.
Review the tabs below for more details on the Ibis Ripley Geometry. See basic sizing concepts, compare sizes with the Geo Chart and see how the Ripley measures up against other trail bikes on the Comparison tab.
Sizing the Ibis Ripley
Ibis offers a good sizing window, but it’s important to remember proper sizing of a MTB isn’t just about your height. Typically Ibis bikes like the Ripley are sized based rider height as well as leg (inseam) and arm length (wingspan). Riders who find their height in the cross-over of sizes will determine the better size based typically on these factors as well as overall flexibility and riding style.
Those riders with longer legs tend to up-size to improve riding position. Long arms and legs lend themselves to the larger bike and it’s cockpit configuration. The larger size also increases the wheelbase and produce a bike with a bit more overall speed capacity. The other side of that coin, the bike isn’t quite as snappy as a smaller option would be.
Riders crossing over sizes with longer torsos or looking for a more “poppy” trail feel will tend to downsize.
However modern MTB frames are designed to accommodate increased dropper post lengths and riders tight on fit may still up-size for the longer wheelbase – so long as the reach doesn’t compromise stem size availability or put a rider “too far” over the front wheel.
Wondering which bike provides you the best fit? BikeCo’s expert team is here to help you define how your size, riding style, terrain and aspirations will effect your ideal sizing.
Ibis Ripley Geo Chart
Ibis has added a fifth size to the Ripley. With Small, Medium, Extra Medium, Large and Extra Large there is a great Ripley sizing option for every rider.
Riders will also appreciate that Ibis has incorporated size specific chain stay lengths (S and M share a dimension).
Ibis’ attention to geo detail extends to the size specific bottom bracket heights – there is a 12mm difference between the Small and Extra Large!
Medium through Extra Large bikes can carry a 26oz water bottle while the Small is designed for a 22oz water bottle.
The Ibis Ripley 5 is shipped as a 29″ bike, however, riders can run an MX (or mixed, or mullet depending on your term) wheelset without compromising the geo using a flip switch in the upper linkage.

Ripley Build Kit Details and Options
So what are the differences to compare Ibis Ripley Kits?
Various builds are available across a range of price points while maintaining the performance riders expect from an Ibis bike. Scroll down to compare the builds as well as learn about common upgrades and part swaps to dial in your Ripley’s personality.
Many spec swaps or upgrades are based on rider feel. It’s typical for riders to develop a preference on things like cockpit, brakes and tires.
When buying a new bike it’s popular to dial in some bits here and there to accent your new bike. When you buy from BikeCo our team is here to help you dial in that new dream bike.
Questions on which brakes will work best for your riding? Wondering about cockpit spec and setup? Areas you might increase your budget a bit and find notable performance? Awesome – let’s go over your questions with an expert from BikeCo’s sales team.
Shop and Compare Ibis Ripley Kits at BikeCo.com
Let’s look at the Ripley factory kits: Deore, SLX, XT, GX AXS Transmission and X0 AXS Transmission Bikes.
Before we get into spec differences, what is spec’d across all (or most) of the Ripley Kits?
Ibis Top Tier Carbon
Each Ripley kit begins with the same details: Ibis’ top tier carbon Ripley frame.
Unlike some brands, Ibis features top tier carbon fiber layup frames across all price level kits. This is advantageous as riders benefit from lighter weight, a more vibrant feel as well as a longer service life.
FOX Float Factory Shock
The FOX Float Factory Kashima shock provides riders with rebound, a climb switch as well as 3 positions of low speed compression adjustment to the Open mode.
As an air shock the Float’s support is adjusted by PSI as well as volume spacing for ramp rate.
Find more details about the Ripley’s shock in the suspension tab below.
MAXXIS EXO Tires
Ibis builds the Ripley kits with a Maxxis DHR2 EXO front tire and a Rekon EXO rear. This is an interesting pairing and quite often is swapped prior to delivery of the Ripley.
With such a wide range of terrain capacity it’s not unusual to see riders go more aggressive or faster on tires. Some riders will swap to a DHF / DHR2 combo – even increasing damping by going to EXO+ sidewalls. Other riders want a faster tire combo and we’ll see Rekons or Rekons with Ikons for the rider looking for ultimate efficiency.
Tires are an easy swap and a huge part of your bikes personality. Let’s get you on the right rubber with your new rig!
Blackbird Send Wheels
The Ripley is spec’d with Ibis’ Blackbird Send Alloy rims and Ibis logo hubs. These are robust stock wheels, however, it is an area we will frequently see riders upgrade. Whether its for the Ibis Carbon rims with i9 hubs from the factory, but more often for BikeCo handbuilt wheels utilizing Chris King, i9, DT Swiss or Onyx hubs laced to NOX, Ibis, ENVE, WTB or DT Swiss rims. Our handbuilt wheels take into account your size and riding style to balance rigidity, torque transfer, compliance and grip through spokes, spoke patterns as well as experienced build techniques used with some of the fastest racers in MTB.

Ibis Ripley Kit Differences
This season the Ripley is offered in three Shimano kit as well as two wireless SRAM AXS Transmission specs.
Ripley Fork Spec
One of the most notable differences between Ripley kits is the fork spec.
On the Deore and SLX bikes riders find the FOX Float 34 Performance fork. The Performance forks feature a FOX Grip damper. This provides riders with a basic low speed compression control as well as 10 clicks of rebound adjustment.
On the three remaining kits, XT, GX AXS Transmission and X0 AXS Transmission, Ibis spec’d the FOX Float 34 GRIPX Factory Series fork. This is an air fork allowing an amazing tuning range with PSI as well as volume spacers. The GRIPX damper offers riders High Speed Compression, Low Speed Compression as well as Low Speed Rebound adjustments.
As mentioned earlier all of the Ripley kits use the FOX Float Factory rear shock. This is an air shock with volume tuning capacity, Low Speed Rebound, 3 setting of compression in the open mode as well as a 2 position firm mode, or climb switch.
Jump over to the Suspension tab for more details on the Ripley fork and shock spec.
Shimano Deore, SLX and XT Kits
Obviously as you move up the Shimano lineup you can expect lighter weight and slightly more exotic materials. However, SKU minimization has brought the Shimano kits closer overall with similar cockpits, wheels, tires, etc. The Deore build spec’s a KS Rage-I dropper while the SLX and XT use a Bike Yoke spec.
SRAM GX AXS Transmission and X0 AXS Transmission
Wireless shifting options are available in both the GX AXS Transmission as well as the X0 AXS Transmission kits.
Both AXS Transmission spec’s take advantage of the new T-Type drivetrain. These are the strongest and longest lasting on the market. Your Transmission build will require less replacement over the life of your Ripmo!
SRAM Transmission also sets a new bar for auto setup and tuning options. Chat with our team about more advantages of the Transmission spec.
Like the Shimano builds the SRAM AXS Transmission Ripmos also see a fair amount of kit crossover.
Click the common upgrades tab for more info on part swaps and upgrades – especially popular on cockpit setup, tires and brakes!
Ibis Ripley Upgrades and Swaps
Whether you’re shopping for a full custom Ibis Ripley, a stock build or just need a couple tweaks to the Ripley build BikeCo.com is your resource.
The Ibis Ripley is available in 5 kits, all of which are really good “out of the box”. There aren’t any “no-go” components on the Deore, SLX, XT, GX AXS Transmission or X0 AXS Transmission Ripley builds. But, riders develop component preferences. BikeCo will get you that perfect part, in the right color to personalize the Ripley’s performance or look.
Common Ripley Upgrades
What are common Ripley swaps and upgrades at time of purchase? Let’s take a look. Some spec changes are personal preference. Others are budget or performance choices. Read on to see see where client’s often find upgrades to their new Ripley build. Already have questions? Chat, email or call our expert sales staff and we will help you buy the perfect Ibis Ripley.
Suspension
Deore and SLX Ripleys often have the fork upgraded to a Factory option with the improved dampers and Kashima coat, or, just a damper upgrade to create a performance elite build (with the improved compression controls).
Keep reading for details on another suspension upgrade popular across all bikes: BikeCo’s Pro Tune Suspension Service.
Rider Contact Points
Many riders have a go-to grip and pedal preference.
We can provide a range of grips with variable patterns, technology and shape to improve your riding. There might even be a grip in a color to set off your Green Flash or Blue Hour Ripley.
New build – new pedals? We have the best clipless and flat options for a wide range of riding styles.
Tires
Another preference riders develop is “must-have” tire spec. This is one of the most common swaps on builds from any manufacturer. With notable performance differences between tread pattern, compound and sidewall lets make sure we get you on the perfect tire setup.
Many Ripley riders are looking for faster tires than the spec’d DHR II front and Dissector rear. What are popular specs? DHF front, DHR II rear or DHF front and Aggressor rear. Depending on your weight, terrain and level of aggression you might consider more robust sidewalls as well. EXO Plus and Double Down tires are popular options for riders looking for more robust protection or additional damping.
Looking for rim protection? We have that covered too.
Cockpit
A common swap or upgrade to Ibis Factory Spec bikes are the handlebars and stem. Many riders swap to a 35mm diameter combo over the stock 31.8mm options.
Getting the fit correct is important to your Ripley’s performance. Handlebar rise and overall stiffness also improve the personalization and performance of your bike. Looking for suggestions? We have the best in the market from OneUp, Tag, Renthal and Raceface.
Chat with our team about hand positioning, carbon versus aluminum as well as advantages of the right handlebar rise on your new rig.
Brakes
This is one of the most common swaps or upgrades on any bike. Brakes that compliment your riding style and preference make a huge difference on trail. We offer class leading options in a variety of price points from Hope, Magura, Shimano and TRP.
Shimano brakes are very popular and are spec’d on several of the build options. Shimano brakes have good overall power with quick lever throw. This produces a brake with a strong feel.
TRP brakes are similar to the Shimano lineup. The TRP brakes provide a touch more overall power and extra modulation compared to Shimano offerings.
Riders who prefer a bit more modulation or “feel” to their brakes gravitate towards Hope and Magura.
The latest Hope Tech 4 updates have improved their power. This puts the Hope Tech 4 in the Shimano and Magura range for overall power while retaining the excellent modulation Hope has been known for.
Magura brakes are the most frequent swap or upgrade across all Ibis builds. Riders who appreciate modulation and power will find Magura excellent in both aspects. Magura offers models with across a wide price range allowing budget friendly swaps or upgrades. Riders looking for the most adjustability or tuning for their brakes will shop the MT7 with HC3 levers.
Custom Wheels
Handbuilt or custom wheels are another popular upgrade no matter what brand you’re shopping. Custom wheels allow riders to spec a rim, spoke and hub combination as well as build specifics for the ultimate performance.
Custom wheels for Ibis builds usually feature slightly narrower rim options. This will decrease the volume slightly as well as shifting the tire’s shape to provide more grip in high lean cornering. We see many riders work with NOX carbon or WTB, Factor and DT Swiss options.
Riders also will find traction from using the right spokes and build techniques. Our team will help you define this at time of purchase to ensure you maximize performance and longevity.
Popular hubs from Chris King, Industry Nine, Onyx and Factor are spec’d on Ibis Ripley builds. All of these hubs are available in a range of colors to highlight your build.
Pro Tune Suspension
Take your bike’s performance to the next level with our proprietary Pro Tune Suspension. Our team will custom tune your FOX fork and rear shock and narrow the performance from the FOX Factory range to a more precise setup designed for your riding style, aggression, ground speed, size and terrain.
This is one of the biggest upgrades to any bike – having the suspension dialed in as well as having a resource like BikeCo to help you fine tune the bike at time of delivery and as your riding speeds increase!
BikeCo Pro Tune Suspension – because Every Click Counts.
Dialing in the perfect Ripley Build

Ripley Fork Options
Deore & SLX Builds: FOX Performance 34 GRIP
The Ripley Deore and SLX builds are spec’d with FOX Performance 34 forks with GRIP dampers. These feature fork stanchions hard anodized in black. The GRIP damper provides riders with a basic low speed compression control as well as 10 clicks of rebound adjustment.
Support and Ramp Rate are adjusted with air pressure and volume spacers to dial in performance.
XT, GX AXS & X0 AXS Builds: FOX Float 34 Factory GRIPX
The Ripley’s XT, GX AXS Transmission and X0 AXS Transmission builds are all shipped with the FOX Float 34 Factory GRIPX fork.
The FOX GRIPX damper offers easy adjustments for High and Low Speed Compression as well as Low Speed Rebound.
Like all FOX air forks it’s spring rate is modified by Air Pressure and Volume Spacers to adjust ramp rate and support.
Ripley Fork Upgrades
Like we mentioned earlier the Deore and SLX bikes often have the Performance forks upgraded to either FOX Factory 34 GRIPX options or have the damper upgraded to improve the compression controls and create a Performance Elite fork.
Beyond that BikeCo’s Pro Tune service is a popular upgrade to the Ibis Ripley forks. This takes FOX’s incredible performance window and narrows it down for rider, bike and terrain specifics. Chat with one of our experts about the advantages of a BikeCo Pro Tune today.
Ripley Rear Shock Options
Stock: FOX Float Factory Kashima
The FOX Float is spec’d across the entire Ibis Ripley build lineup. This is a shock with a great feel, confident and playful across a wide range of riding from down-country to aggressive trail riding.
Rebound is red, the climb switch is blue and the blue to black interface shows the 3 low speed compression settings for the open position on the FOX Factory Float shock.
Ripley Shock Upgrades
Like the fork the most popular upgrade to the Ripley shock is a BikeCo Pro Tune. Some riders will consider the FOX Float X to give the Ripley a bit more trail capacity and tuning range – however this rider will also be giving a long look at the Ibis Ripmo which comes stock with the Float X and a 36 GRIPX fork as well.
