Industry 9 hubs meet the Ripley SL's top build
The Ripley SL comes out of Ibis's own manufacturing floor in Watsonville, powered entirely by the sun, and this XTR Di2 build tops the lineup with S28 Carbon wheels laced to Industry 9 Hydra hubs. dw-link's kinematics keep 117mm of rear travel supportive under power, so climbs stay efficient without the suspension feeling harsh when things get rough. Faster hub engagement and a lighter wheelset make the whole bike feel quicker to respond, from the first pedal stroke to the next direction change.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The tighter jumps between gears on this 9-45T cassette mean I'm never searching for the right gear mid-effort, every shift lands close to where I expect it. That precision matters more once the trail gets technical and I need to hold cadence through a rock garden instead of hunting for traction."
Heads up! We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning, and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearhead® Experts are always here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I choose a frame size and accessories for the Ibis Ripley SL XTR Di2?
Use the retailer’s size selector and Ibis geometry chart to match the frame to your reach, inseam, standover clearance, and preferred riding position; the listing identifies this bike as size M. Choose MTB pedals to match your flat or clipless shoes, and use components designed for its Shimano XTR Di2 12-speed drivetrain when replacing drivetrain parts.What trails suit the Ibis Ripley SL XTR Di2 Carbon Wheel Mountain Bike?
Its 117 mm rear travel, 130 mm Fox Factory 34 SL fork, and dw-link suspension suit efficient cross-country riding and technical trails. The 29-inch wheels and dropper post also support varied terrain, including steeper trail descents.How does the Ibis Ripley SL compare with other full-suspension mountain bikes?
The Ripley SL pairs a carbon-fiber frame and efficient dw-link suspension with moderate travel, placing it between a race-focused cross-country bike and a longer-travel trail bike in its intended feel. It favors climbing and fast trail riding while retaining suspension for rougher sections.What should I set up before riding the Ibis Ripley SL XTR Di2?
Fit your pedals, set saddle height and cockpit position, and tune the Fox fork and rear shock for your body weight and trail conditions. Charge the Shimano Di2 battery and adjust tire pressure for the terrain and your preferred grip and rolling feel.How should I care for the Ibis Ripley SL’s carbon frame and Di2 drivetrain?
After wet or muddy rides, clean with bike-specific soap and low-pressure water, dry the bike, and lubricate the chain; avoid directing high-pressure spray at bearings, suspension seals, or electronic components. Keep the Di2 battery charged, inspect the frame and wheels after hard impacts, and maintain the suspension on its recommended service schedule.
