Yeti SB160 Kit Differences

The 2024 Yeti SB160 is available in five kits. If you act quickly there are two 2023 AXS kits available at unbeatable pricing by the way.

All of the 2024 kits are spec’d with SRAM drivetrains in either the cable driven T2 X01 bike and C2 GX spec . The other three bikes are T-Type Transmission builds. The Transmission bikes include the C3 GX Transmission, T3 X0 Transmission as well as the T4 XX Transmission builds.

Let’s take a little deeper dive into the kits and then swaps and upgrades on the next tab.

T Series versus C Series: TURQ Carbon vs Carbon Frames

Typically Yeti specs TURQ Carbon frames for the T series builds and Carbon series for the C spec.

TURQ Carbon layups are slightly lighter than their Carbon counterparts, but most notably the TURQ Carbon frames are a bit more vibrant and stay that way longer into their service lives.

Heavier riders will really want to pay attention to frame selection. The additional stresses from a larger rider are easier for the more robust TURQ carbon layup to handle.

Lighter riders may still prefer the increased vibrance of the TURQ Carbon frames, but are less likely to see shorter service intervals as heavier riders may.

Yeti SB160 Kit Differences

The SB160 is available five build kits. Three Turq series bikes in the T4 XX Transmission, T3 X0 Transmission, T2, C3 GX Transmission as well as the C2 build. Let’s look at some of the differences.

FOX Factory or Performance Suspension

Yeti spec’s the T-Series builds with a FOX Factory 38 GRIP2 as well as the FOX Factory X2 rear shock. The C-Series bikes feature the FOX Performance 38 GRIP fork and the Performance Float X rear shock.

With FOX Factory suspension riders have the ultimate suspension damper design at their fingertips. On both the GRIP2 as well as the Factory X2 shock riders have easy adjustments for high and low speed rebound as well as high and low speed compression. These improved controls are great for dialing in support for aggressive riding.

The C-Series bikes feature Performance suspension. Performance suspension is adjustable with PSI, Volume Spacing, Rebound and Compression depending on the exact spec.

Check out the Common Upgrades section for details on Pro Tune Suspension and Performance Upgrades.

Transmission versus Cable Driven Build Kit

Yeti SB160 TURQ series bikes are available in wireless SRAM T-Type Transmission kits as well as a cable driven X01 bike.

The most popular Transmission bike is the X0 spec. It is designed to be slightly more robust for aggressive riding – most likely where you’ll have your SB160!

The T4 XX Transmission build parallels pretty close to the other T-Series bikes outside the drivetain spec. A Cane Creek 110 headset and FOX Factory Transfer seatpost are the notable differences.

C2 versus C3 GX Transmission

For the SB160 Carbon series bikes the major difference is the cable driven GX drivetrain on the C2 build compared to the C3 with it’s GX Transmission T-Type spec for wireless shifting.

Keep reading about common swaps and upgrades to the SB160 builds on the next tab.

Yeti SB160 Upgrades and Swaps

You want your new bike dialed. The right spec will dial in your bike’s trail personality taking it from “pretty good” to “this is insane”. BikeCo is here to ensure you get the right parts, right off the bat. Small swaps and upgrades are common for every mountain bike. Let’s glance at some of the more popular Yeti SB160 Upgrades and Part Swaps.

Yeti spec’s great kit options for the SB160. Really there are few components on the SB160 builds would be considered “no-go”. From the C2 all the way to the T4 XX Transmission builds there is a lot of value for your dollar in the Yeti build.

However, it’s common for riders to have spec preferences. Whether it’s a performance swap or upgrade or getting you that perfect part in the right color to personalize the SB160’s performance or look we have you covered.

Common SB160 Upgrades

These are areas we commonly see riders update a bike purchase. Some are personal preference, others are budget or performance choices. Questions? Chat, email or call our expert sales staff and we will help you dial in your perfect Yeti SB160.

Rider Contact Points

Do you have a preferred grip and pedal go-to?

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 Turquoise, Radium or Cobalt SB160 as well.

A lot of riders purchasing a new bike find it a good time to refresh their pedals. We have the best clipless and flat options for a wide range of riding styles at unbeatable prices.

Tires

Like contact points its not unusual for riders to have a “must-have” go to 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.

The SB160 is spec’d with an Assegai EXO Plus front tire and a Minion DHR II Double Down Rear.

It’s not unusual to see riders upgrade to a Double Down front tire. This adds some tire protection but more notably increases the small bump compliance damping through the tire allowing for a more progressive suspension setup to resist the forces of aggressive enduro riding.

Another option for SB160 front tires is the Minion DHF in EXO Plus or Double Down. The Minion DHF is a slightly faster rolling option which many riders enjoy in a range of terrain.

On the rear tire some riders will spec a more aggressive tread pattern like the Assegai. Or, the opposite and sometimes we’ll see riders spec a faster rear tire like a Double Down Aggressor.

It really comes down to what you like and where you’re using it. Questions on what tires are right for your riding style and locale? No problem – chat with our team about swapping to tires perfect for you on your new MTB.

Maybe you’re also thinking about rim protection? We have that covered too. We often see riders use combinations of CushCore PRO and CushCore XC or even a single rim protection strip (usually on the rear tire). Questions? Let us know!

Cockpit

Along with Brakes, Cockpit is the most common place we see part swaps and upgrades. Since fit is so important to your bike it’s not surprising that you’ll want to work with a resource that has more than 1 option!

Handlebar rise and overall stiffness also improve the personalization and performance of your bike. As you trim your bars they will get stiffer due to the decreased lever arm – so if you’ve got narrower shoulders you’ll likely want to start with a narrower bar rather than cutting tons off. Similarly getting the right bar rise will help your setup. Ideally you want your hands in a power position. Too low and the bike will try to pull “under” and out in steep chutes. Too tall and you’ll lose front end grip. While some of this is adapted with headset spacers the preference for performance and looks is generally to have 15-30mm of spacers and get the rest of the rise from the handlebar.

Looking for suggestions? Chat with our team about hand positioning and the advantages of getting the right handlebar rise on your new rig. We have the best in the market from OneUp, Tag, Renthal and Raceface.

Headset

Many riders will update the Cane Creek 40 to a Cane Creek 110 or Chris King headset that will last the service life of the frame. Chris King riders can choose from a range of colors as well.

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.

Most riders will update brakes on the Yeti SB160. Updating with BikeCo means we will credit you for the SRAM brakes and get your preferred stoppers on your new bike.

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 RideFast alloy 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 Yeti SB160 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.

Yeti SB160 Geometry

Available in five sizes: Small, Medium, Large, X-Large and XX-Large the SB160 is available for nearly every rider.

Use the tabs below for more info on the SB160 Geo, compare sizes with the Geo Chart as well as see how the SB160 measures up against other Enduro MTB bikes on the Comparison tab.

Like other Yeti bikes the SB160 is sized from rider height, flexibility, application, as well as leg and arm length. Riders who find their height in the cross-over of sizes will determine the better size based typically on inseam, flexibility and riding style.

Those with longer legs tend to upsize to improve riding position. This will increase the wheelbase and produce a bike with a bit more overall speed capacity. Going to a larger size will produce a ride that isn’t quite as snappy as a smaller option would be.

Riders with longer torsos or looking for a more “poppy” trail feel will tend to downsize. Although, with modern MTB frames designed to accommodate increased dropper post lengths riders who prefer the added wheelbase may upsize – so long as the reach doesn’t compromise stem size availability or put a rider “too far” over the front wheel.

The 160E is offered in three kits (four if you act quickly and take advantage of the 2023 C1 build…). The C1 builds are spec’d with Shimano and the T series bikes feature SRAM drivetrains. There are some other important spec changes between these builds as pointed out below.

FOX Factory or Performance Suspension

Yeti’s 160E T3 X0 Transmission and T2 bikes feature a FOX Factory 38 GRIP2 fork and FOX Factory X2 shock spec. The C1 builds are spec’d with a FOX Performance GRIP fork as well as a FOX Performance Float X shock.

With FOX Factory suspension riders have the ultimate suspension damper design at their fingertips. On both the GRIP2 as well as the Factory X2 shock riders have easy adjustments for high and low speed rebound as well as high and low speed compression. These improved controls are great for heavier eMTB riding.

T3 X0 Transmission versus T2 Kit

The Yeti T3 X0 Transmission, like it’s name implies, features the latest wireless SRAM Transmission drivetrain. The T2 build is spec’d with cable driven SRAM Eagle bits.

On the C1 build riders find Shimano SLX drivetrain.

Common Yeti 160E Upgrades and part swaps

Yeti 160E Upgrades and Swaps

BikeCo loves offering riders the ability to fine tune or dial in that perfect bike spec. Whether you’re looking for some minor swaps or want to dial in a full custom Yeti 160E you’ve found the resource.

Yeti spec’s great kit options for the 160E. Few components on the 160E builds would be considered “no-go”, all and all there is a lot of value for your dollar in the Yeti build. But, it’s common for riders to develop preferences. Whether it’s a performance swap or upgrade or getting you that perfect part in the right color to personalize the 160E’s performance or look we have you covered.

Common 160E Upgrades

These are areas we commonly see riders update a bike purchase. Some are personal preference, others are budget or performance choices. Questions? Chat, email or call our expert sales staff and we will help you buy the perfect Yeti 160E.

Rider Contact Points

Do you have a preferred grip and pedal go-to?

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 Turquoise, Rhino or Black 160E as well.

A lot of riders purchasing a new bike find it a good time to refresh their pedals. We have the best clipless and flat options for a wide range of riding styles at unbeatable prices.

Tires

Like contact points its not unusual for riders to have a “must-have” go to 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.

The 160E is spec’d with an Assegai EXO Plus front tire and a Minion DHR II Double Down Rear.

It’s not unusual to see riders upgrade to a Double Down front tire. This adds some tire protection but more notably increases the small bump compliance damping through the tire allowing for a more progressive suspension setup to resist the heavier eMTB weight shifts while riding.

On the rear tire we often see riders take advantage of the eMTB drive system and swap to a more aggressive tread pattern like the Assegai.

Questions on what tires are right for your riding style and locale? No problem – chat with our team about swapping to tires perfect for you on your new eMTB.

Maybe you’re also thinking about rim protection? We have that covered too. We often see riders use combinations of CushCore PRO and CushCore XC or even a single rim protection strip (usually on the rear tire). Questions? Let us know!

Cockpit

Along with Brakes, Cockpit is the most common place we see part swaps and upgrades. Since fit is so important to your bike it’s not surprising that you’ll want to work with a resource that has more than 1 option!

On eMTB bikes like the 160E its common to see riders looking for handlebar designs that maximize small bump compliance. Like we mentioned with the Double Down front tire, the heavier eMTB bikes often utilize more progressive suspension setups for ultimate performance. This means finding small bump compliance elsewhere is important on you 160E build.

The most common handlebar for eMTB purchases is the OneUp carbon e-bar. Designed with a unique shape to provide maximum stiffness in a fore/aft load but while offering subtle give in vertical loads.

Another common handlebar spec is the carbon option from TAG Metals which has an ovalized internal design for similar performance benefits.

Handlebar rise and overall stiffness also improve the personalization and performance of your bike. As you trim your bars they will get stiffer due to the decreased lever arm – so if you’ve got narrower shoulders you’ll likely want to start with a narrower bar rather than cutting tons off. Similarly getting the right bar rise will help your setup. Ideally you want your hands in a power position. Too low and the bike will try to pull “under” and out in steep chutes. Too tall and you’ll lose front end grip. While some of this is adapted with headset spacers the preference for performance and looks is generally to have 15-30mm of spacers and get the rest of the rise from the handlebar.

Looking for suggestions? Chat with our team about hand positioning and the advantages of getting the right handlebar rise on your new rig. We have the best in the market from OneUp, Tag, Renthal and Raceface.

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.

Most riders will update brakes on the Yeti 160E.

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 RideFast alloy 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 Yeti 160E builds. All of these hubs are available in a range of colors to highlight your build.

Wireless Shifting

Yeti offers a range of wireless shifting with the new SRAM Transmission series.

On the 160E T3 X0 Transmission riders find the strongest and longest lasting wireless shifting option on the market. Few riders would upgrade a T2 bike to wireless as it basically just becomes the T3 X0 Transmission bike.

However, on the Shimano C1 kits we do see wireless upgrades. Some riders swap out to the new SRAM GX Transmission kits, or even GX AXS upgrades. While not for everyone, you might be intrigued by mating the GX AXS with Shimano Drivetrains. Chat with our team about your various options.

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!

Dialing in the perfect 160E Build

Yeti 160E Geometry

Available in Small, Medium, Large and X-Large the 160E has a size for nearly every rider.

Use the tabs below for more info on the 160E Geo, compare sizes with the Geo Chart as well as see how the 160E measures up against other Enduro eMTB bikes on the Comparison tab.

Like other Yeti bikes the 160E is sized from rider height as well as leg and arm length. Riders who find their height in the cross-over of sizes will determine the better size based typically on inseam, flexibility and riding style.

Those with longer legs tend to upsize to improve riding position. This will increase the wheelbase and produce a bike with a bit more overall speed capacity. Going to a larger size will produce a ride that isn’t quite as snappy as a smaller option would be.

Riders with longer torsos or looking for a more “poppy” trail feel will tend to downsize. Although, with modern MTB frames designed to accommodate increased dropper post lengths riders who prefer the added wheelbase may upsize – so long as the reach doesn’t compromise stem size availability or put a rider “too far” over the front wheel.

Use the tabs to compare 160E sizes as well as other eMTB bikes.

Ibis DV9 FOX Suspension

Ibis spec’s 2 forks depending on the level of kit for the DV9.

Deore, GX and SLX builds feature the FOX Performance Float 34 Step-Cast fork with a GRIP damper.

XT, GX Transmission and XX Transmission builds are spec’d with the FOX Factory Float 34 Step-Cast fork with FIT4 remote damper.

Both forks are adjustable through PSI, rebound as well as volume spacing. The Performance GRIP fork provides riders a three position low speed compression switch, typically used as a climb switch. On Factory FIT4 Remote forks riders have the remote climb switch as well as low speed compression controls to fine tune support.

A popular upgrade to all forks, but particularly on the Factory options, is our BikeCo Pro Tune service. Essentially our team will tune the fork to your riding specifics, narrowing the fork’s adjustment window so every click is a more precise adjustment. Rather than a fork designed for all weight ranges and all riding capacities BikeCo Pro Tune forks are tuned around you. Because #EveryClickCounts.

Key Ibis DV9 Kit Differences

Well, with so many available kits there are A LOT of differences across the DV9 lineup.

As mentioned earlier the Deore, GX and SLX bikes feature FOX Performance suspension while the XT, GX Transmission and XX SL Transmision are spec’d with the FOX Factory fork.

Let’s dig a little deeper into the DV9 builds and compare the kits.

Shimano Kits

Shimano riders find the DV9 offered in Deore, SLX and XT models. This provides a range of price options as well as variance in build from the Deore and SLX to the XT kit.

As you move up the chain in Shimano drivetrains you’ll find components that are lighter, feature more exotic materials and with the right care tend to have a bit longer service intervals.

Wear items like the chainring, chain and cassette are interchangable. As such we see many riders spec one kit and when the drivetrain has worn upgrade a kit or two higher.

The Deore and SLX kit both feature the FOX Performance Step-Cast 34 fork and 31.8mm aluminum cockpit.

The SLX build provides a Bike Yoke Revive dropper compared to the Deore’s KS Rage-i spec.

Moving to the XT build riders find a handful of upgrades along with the drivetrain and brakes. Namely the FOX Factory Step-Cast 34 fork and Ibis carbon handlebars.

SRAM Kits

Three SRAM kits are available for the Ibis DV9.

The GX build features a FOX Performance fork and aluminum handlebar.

Moving into wireless shifting at the top tier of DV9 kits we find the GX Transmission as well as the XX SL Transmission builds.

Each of the Transmission kits features the new SRAM T-Type drivetrain. These are the strongest and longest lasting pairings to date.

The XX SL Transmission build will be slightly lighter than its’ GX Transmission counterpart.

Riders will find 31.8mm Ibis carbon handlebars on both builds.

The major differences between the GX Transmission and XX SL Transmission are found in the wheels and dropper post.

The XX SL Transmission features a wireless seatpost in the SRAM Reverb AXS post. GX Transmission is spec’d with the Bike Yoke Revive dropper.

Wheels are a major difference, although riders can also upgrade the GX AXS Transmission bike as well. The XX SL Transmission features i9 Hydra hubs laces to Ibis S28 carbon fiber rims. The GX Transmission bikes come stock with Ibis hubs tied to Ibis 933 alloy rims.

Wondering which kit will get you the most bang for your buck? Or finding one of these kits it “close” but not quite your dream bike? Check out the next tab for common upgrades and part swaps across the DV9 builds. Develop some questions and work with our expert staff to dial in the perfect Ibis hardtail.

Common Ibis DV9 Upgrades

Ibis DV9 Upgrades and Swaps

A lot of riders purchasing an Ibis DV9 are building a dream bike of some sort. Whether it’s that “all-in” hardtail or a quiver bike for certain rides the DV9 is a bike we see riders really invest the time to ensure they’ve got a great build right at delivery.

Not all spec changes are upgrades. Many are across the board swaps or relatively minor upgrades when we factor our the stock component from your delivery.

Let’s dive in a little deeper on the common swaps and upgrades to the DV9.

Common DV9 Upgrades

There are a lot of areas we see riders upgrade the stock DV9 builds. Probably the most common are Cockpit and Brakes. Upgrading to Pro Tune Suspension is probably third. We see wheels, tires and cranks as other areas riders tend to focus on.

Suspension

Getting you fork right on a hardtail is critical to the bike’s performance.

One of the upgrades we see to the Deore, GX and SLX DV9 builds, that feature the FOX Performance fork, is an upgrade to the FIT4 damper. This basically produces a Performance Elite model. (black hard ano stanchions with the top tier damper) With this upgrade riders improve the fork’s tuning range by adding a low speed compression adjuster.

On all three forks, the stock Performance, the modified “Performance Elite” or the XT, GX Transmission and XX SL Transmission FOX Factory offering adding a BikeCo Pro Tune is very popular. Our BikeCo Pro Tune forks narrow the performance window of the damper based on specifics of your riding. Essentially each click becomes a more precise tool in your setup.

Wondering how a BikeCo Pro Tune fork will improve your riding? Chat with our team today. Remember, #EveryClickCounts.

Rider Contact Points

Riders typically 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 DV0’s Muddy Waters or Purple Crush colorway.

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.

There is a wide range of appropriate tires for the DV9 depending on your terrain and riding style. The DV9 can carry most 2.6″ rear tires, allowing riders to modify the small bump compliance with larger volume tires.

Not all DV9 riders are looking for the XC fast Rekon Race option. Some riders may prefer more trail or even light enduro tire setups. This includes tires like the Aggressor, DHR II, DHF and more. A variety of sidewalls are seen on the DV9 as well depending on rider size and aggression.

Getting the right tires on your bike is critical to it’s performance and your confidence. Wondering what tires best fit your riding? That’s what we’re here for. Let us go through some options that will fit your needs. Tire size. Sidewall options. Tread patterns. Even rim protection are details we love to go through with our clients.

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.

GX and SLX builds often upgrade to carbon bars to help improve the hardtail’s small bump compliance.

Getting the fit correct is important to your DV9’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.

FOX’s FIT4 damper allows riders to adjust low speed compression as well as a two position Remote compression control for Open – Firm.

Fork travel for the DV9 is spec’d at 120mm.

Tuning is done via PSI, volume spacers, rebound and a two position remote adjuster with low speed compression control for the Open mode.

DV9 Suspension Upgrade

A popular upgrade to the DV9 Performance fork is our proprietary Pro Tune service.

With less travel on an XC bike its’ even more crucial to have your suspension as setup and dialed in as possible, using every millimeter as efficiently as possible.

Ibis DV9 Geometry

The DV9 is offered in Small through X-Large and designed for rides from 5′ 0″ to 6′ 5″ in height.

As a bike with a range of appropriate fork setups depending on your riding the Ibis Geo provided is based on a 120mm travel fork. If you’re looking for other fork travel options and are wondering about the geo considerations reach out to our team for more info!

Along with height DV9 riders will want to compare sizes based on inseam and arm length as well. Riders on the sizing cusp will reference leg length to help determine the ideal sizing.

Another thing to take into account sizing a hardtail like the DV9 is what your intended use is and will you be able to get your cockpit setup in an ideal position. If you’re building a more playful, confident DV9 you’ll want to keep your stem and bars in a more trail or even enduro type setup. Shorter stem, often with higher rise bars. For a more “racy” build a slightly longer stem with lower bars will likely be a more ideal positioning.

Wondering which bike provides you the best fit? Our expert team is here to help you define how your size, riding style, terrain and aspirations will effect your ideal sizing. Reach out to our team about your Ibis DV9 purchase by chat, email or phone!

Designed to parallel the carbon Ripley’s trail performance, the alloy Ripley AF UDH is an acknowledge class leader.

Like all Ibis bikes it’s a confident, comfortable bike in a wide range of terrain.

Ibis’ spec options provide riders a lot of value across the board. In fact, many experienced riders would enjoy a Ripley AF UDH build with minor updates as a quiver bike as well. What updates might you consider on the Ripley AF UDH? Let’s take a look at the similarities, key differences as well as common swaps and upgrades in the tabs below.

Ibis Ripley: Carbon or Aluminum

So what are the trail differences between the Ripley and the Ripley AF UDH? Let’s get into it.

Below you can compare the geometry – overall they’re very close. As you’d expect the main difference is between the aluminum and carbon fiber material properties.

Ibis makes high quality aluminum bikes. The Ripmo AF UDH  and Ripley AF UDH are trail proven. They’ve got mileage and experience that make them ready for anything you’ll want to throw at it.

The material differences riders can feel between the carbon and aluminum Ripley will be weight, a bit of damping and vibrancy.

Weight matters, and it tends to matter more on lighter trail bikes, however riders typically won’t choose one or the other simply based on weight.

Carbon fiber provides additional damping. This is based on the weaved material, the layup as well as shapes to transfer load that carbon lends itself to. The aluminum bike will transfer a bit more of the trail frequency to the rider. However, with carbon bars such as the OneUp or Tag models offering designed damping Ripley AF UDH riders can upgrade cockpit for improved damping.

Another material difference is found in how vibrant the frame will feel. Carbon bikes tend to have and maintain a bit more of a vibrant feel longer into their service life.

The only riders shopping aluminum that I ask to take a long look at the materials are, well riders like me! If you’re a heavier rider (I’m somewhere in the 260 range these days) the carbon fiber will stay vibrant notably longer. Heavier or really aggressive riders may find the aluminum will work harden, which ironically means it will get softer, and the bikes aren’t as crisp a couple seasons in.

Ibis Ripley AF Kit Differences

The aluminum Ripley AF is available 2 Shimano options and a SRAM GX kit.

Shimano Deore and SLX Kits

SLX components will be a bit lighter than the Deore kit. Overall the performance in Shimano stays crisp across lineup, however the SLX kit tends to have a slightly longer service life.

The SLX kit also features the upgraded Bike Yoke Revive dropper post.

SRAM GX Complete

The Ripley AF is available in a SRAM GX kit as well. Overall the SRAM cable drivetrains will shift in a wider range or adjustment than the Shimano offerings. The other side of this coin is while Shimano shifts quite smooth the SRAM drivetrains have a bit more thump to them.

A popular option for the GX complete, as well as the SLX build for some riders, is an upgrade to the GX AXS derailleur and shifter. Read more about this on the upgrade tab.

Common Ibis Ripley AF UDH upgrades and swaps

Ibis Ripley AF Upgrades and Swaps

BikeCo is the leading resource to help riders get the most out of their builds. Bikes like the Ripley AF start with a good spec from Ibis, but with a couple tweaks you might find even more performance available or a personality you’ll love even more.

You won’t find any “no-go” components on the Deore, GX or SLX Ripley AF bikes. However, it’s common for riders to develop component preferences. BikeCo will get you that perfect part, in the right color to personalize the Ripley AF’s performance or look.

Common Ripley AF Upgrades

Part swaps and upgrades on cost conscious bikes tend to go one of two ways. Some riders don’t feel like they’ll notice the difference with their skill set and others figure they’ll update when bits wear out.

Both of these have credibility – but – let’s look at how each rider benefits from working with the experts here at BikeCo.com.

Will I notice? Fair question, especially for riders newer to the sport. Areas where you will most notice the spec are cockpit (for sizing), brakes and tires (for personality) as well as suspension (for tuning).

One thing for newer riders: it’s easier to learn when something is working great. That’s why so many new riders gravitate to The Bike Company. Our unmatched after sales tuning and setup provides you with a working resource to fine tune your new bike.

I’ll replace it when it wears out. For things like drivetrain, seatpost, saddle, seatpost remote etc this can make a lot of sense. In fact my personal bikes generally have a nicer drivetrain when they’re serviced as I can justify that $ more easily when I’m not buying an entire bike! However, why wait on things that have such a dramatic effect on a bike’s personality? I want the right tires for my riding. I don’t want to wait to wear out tires I don’t like! Same with brakes. And getting a proper cockpit fit is critical.

Don’t worry. BikeCo has you covered across all of these.

Suspension

The longer 140mm fork option on the Ripley AF. Increasing the fork travel will slacken the headtube and slightly raise the bottom bracket. This gives the Ripley AF a bit more of an Enduro feel. Riders looking for a bit more punch in the Ripley AF will love that 140mm fork. Those looking for quicker handling or more of a down-country or XC feel will stay with the 130mm fork options.

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 Protein Shake or Mustard Stain Ripley AF.

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.

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!

FOX Performance Suspension

All of the Ripley AF builds feature FOX Performance Suspension.

The stock fork is a 130mm Float 34 Performance with the FIT GRIP damper. This provides riders with 3 positions of compression damping: Open, Medium and Firm. Low speed rebound offers 10 clicks of adjustment.

The Float 34 Performance can have the air shaft swapped to increase the fork travel to 140mm. In fact, a popular upgrade to the Performance fork is the GRIP2 damper. This creates a Performance Elite fork with improved high and low speed compression as well as rebound settings.

With a FOX Performance DPS rear shock riders have external rebound adjustments as well as a two position climb switch. Using volume spacers riders can fine tune ramp rate and support.

Ibis Ripley AF UDH Geometry

Small, Medium, Large and X-Large frames are available for the Ripley AF. Riders from 5’0″ to 6’5″ have options on the aluminum Ripley AF.

Use the tabs below for more info on the Ripley AF UDH Geo, compare sizes with the Geo Chart as well as see how the Ripley AF UDH measures up against otherTrail MTB bikes on the Comparison tab.

With it’s stock 130mm fork the Ripley AF has a 66.5 degree headtube angle. More aggressive Ripley AF riders may prefer the 140mm fork option. This produces a slightly slacker headtube angle and taller bottom bracket.

Ibis’ shows the Ripley AF sizing crossover as fairly minimal. For instance the taller end of the medium is listed at 5’8″ while the lower end of the large is listed at 5’7″. This is a decent baseline, but leg / arm versus torso length should be considered for exact sizing if you’re close to the size edges.

The Ripley AF sizing is based rider height as well as leg and arm length. Riders who find their height in the cross-over of sizes will determine the better size based typically on inseam, flexibility and riding style.

Those with longer legs tend to upsize to improve riding position. This will increase the wheelbase and produce a bike with a bit more overall speed capacity that isn’t quite as snappy as a smaller option would be.

Riders with longer torsos or looking for a more “poppy” trail feel will tend to downsize. Although, with modern MTB frames designed to accommodate increased dropper post lengths riders who prefer the added wheelbase may upsize – so long as the reach doesn’t compromise stem size availability or put a rider “too far” over the front wheel.

The Ripley AF provides very similar jumps between sizes for the Stack, Reach and Top Tube.

Purchasing from BikeCo.com Advantages

Here at BikeCo.com we’re riders. And we’re demanding of ourselves and our brands. That’s why you’ll only see the very best in MTB offered through our website or shop in Lake Forest, CA.

Some of the services that have BikeCo.com ahead of our competition include:

Unmatched Customer Service

Before, during and after the sale our clients are critical to our success. We love helping our clients take their bike from “this is real good” to “Oh man, this is DIALED.”

Before you take delivery our team will help you define the setup points important to your riding. Prefer Magura brakes? We’ve got you handled.

Want a more personalized suspension? Pro Tune options.

Looking for something special? Handbuilt wheels to dial in your wheel tune.

During delivery our team will work with you to fine tune initial suspension, tire and cockpit setup.

After delivery is when our team really shines. Our sales team reaches out on a handful of occasions with loaded questions to help you truly dial in the setup.

Questions along the way? Reach out to the team at any time!

Pro Tune Suspension

Available at the time of purchase or after sales BikeCo Pro Tune Suspension narrows the performance window on FOX shocks and forks. This means your bike will have a more personalized feel with more finite adjustments on rebound and compression controls.

Pro Tune suspension isn’t just for the racer or local ripper. Starting with a tuned platform allows riders to concentrate on the trail, not questioning setup, balance, etc.

Want to learn more? Email, chat or call and our team will review Pro Tune options with you!

Component Upgrades / Swaps

As mentioned earlier we are happy to review factory builds and help you dial in spec. Whether you’re looking for a bit of bling, prefer a different performance or whatever feel free to chat with our team about dialing in your factory build.

Common upgrades and swaps are brake components (for personality), suspension upgrades, pedals, tires, chainguides and more.

Purchasing Experience

We’ve been a leader in MTB since 1999. Clients have a variety of ways to purchase with our team.

A typical experience is a deposit to secure the frame, particularly useful on frames with extended ETAs, dialing in the build details with our sales team is a fun process and gives you a chance to personalize your build. As the delivery ETA approaches a finalized build is approved by the client, bike built and ready for delivery. The balance of the purchase is due at delivery or shipment.

We look forward to working with you on your next bike!
