Ever since it's inception, the Ibis Ripley has blurred the lines between speedy XC race rig and aggressive all mountain machine, providing riders with a bike that's equally at home crushing all-day epics as it is popping off technical bonus lines. Though the Ibis' newest iteration of its Ripley X01 Eagle AXS Mountain Bike does see a full redesign that does include the modern longer-slacker-steeper treatment, we think it finds a moderate landing place that's still capable of quick-rolling power and nimble control. That's because the engineers at Ibis didn't go too overboard -- instead they opt for just a one-degree shift in the head tube to slacken things, lengthening the wheelbase just a touch to extend the reach in the cockpit 45mm to give you a little more room to move around, while the seat tube shifts up 3-degrees for the perfect perch when you need to attack climbs. The Ripley 4 features an all-new chassis, taking queues from it's beefier brother, the Ripmo, offering more room for dropper posts, shorter chainstays, and the lively and reliable DW-link suspension. Additionally, this bike features SRAM's latest and greatest Eagle AXS drivetrain that lets you enjoy crisp, wireless shifting with no need to bother with cables ever again. The Ripley 4's major update meant that Ibis' engineers could start from the ground up, and they chose to start with the heart-and-center of the bike, updating the dual-eccentrics used in the past to a new design based on the Ripmo, which still holds DW-Link suspension tucked neatly in the front triangle, but without as much weight, and with a huge boost in stiffness. This change in the frame's chassis allows massive weight savings of over a half-pound on the frame alone, giving your all-mountain machine a little more pep in its step when you're pushing up grueling climbs, and a more nimble feel when you're flicking it around tight switchbacks. Weight savings aside, one of the biggest benefits we see with the drop of the double-ec...
