Expirience with the Ibis Ripley AF GX

Ibis Ripley AF GX Review
Ludwig Döhl
That the Ripley AF GX is slightly cheaper than the carbon version of the Ripley is visually recognizable. The cable routing in the bottom bracket area looks a bit lacking in body. Nevertheless, the DW-Link rear triangle must also be mentioned as an argument in this Trailbike. Ibis is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame!

Je steiler der Winkel des Sitzrohrs ist, desto effizienter können Sie in die Pedale treten.
