Ripley AF Deore Mountain Bike

The Ripley AF Deore's flip chip swaps between full 29-inch wheels and a mixed setup without touching the geometry, so a change that used to mean a different bike now takes a few minutes in the garage. The dw-link suspension delivers 130mm of rear travel tuned to climb efficiently and still feel composed once the trail points down, with size-specific geometry that keeps that balance consistent. It carries all the same features as the carbon Ripley, just built from aluminum that shrugs off the scrapes and drops carbon would rather avoid.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I flipped the chip to run mixed wheels on a trail I usually ride full 29er, and the bike didn't hesitate to feel different in exactly the way I wanted. Same suspension response climbing out of the parking lot, quicker and more playful once the trail got tight."
