- Hey Everyone, exciting day! I'm trying out my new Ripmo V2S frame, I figured it was a good opportunity to make a video based off of my first few rides off the bike. The bike has recieved a few small upgrades including a wider rear triangle and a universal derailleur hanger. It Still kept the change of the changed head angle from the V2 so Jumping from a Ripmo V1 to the v2s was quite a noticeable difference. Enjoy the video.

Without even reading your page I knew you were from the burgh. Thanks for the review
Lezyne Flow SL Cage works great on my Ripmo and Ripley.
I love the slow up close shots of the bike!
Thank you! I appreciate the positive feedback
❤️🏆❤️
love the video quality, hey where did you get that gold stem spacer? i need it on my bike...
Hey thank you! I appreciate the positive vibes and I bought them from Wolf tooth components.
I have the version 1 Ripmo and have a Specialized side loading cage. Plenty of room for a large water bottle and no rubbing issues.
Just a matter of shopping around for a cage that suits and allows for some adjustment up/down. Side loading is a must for a larger bottle imo.
Ty I appreciate the info 👍
Great cage/idea, or get out a drimmel and slot the mounting holes 2 ml's
Definitely a good idea and I appreciate the ingenuity.
Specialized Zee cage 2 has slotted mounting holes so you can scoot it forward to where the bottle doesn’t touch.
Yup, use the same one that comes on the Stumpjumpers
nice vid.. makes me want to get a ripmo...but the Slash is my trail brawler..
Thank you. Sweet choice, it's a hard decision buying a bike since there are so many options in each category.
Nice video - Have the V2 myself. What sag are you running the fork at? Ibis recommends 30% for fox 38 But that seems high? Sick bike.
Thank you, I typically ran just about 30 percent on that 36 fork. I'm not one to expirement with suspension that much. I feel if you went to a lower sag percentage I think it would start feeling more harsh because you'll start to get into the more progressive stroke. Don't quote me I could be wrong though!
I been on the V1 for about 2 years now and love it as well!
Are the differences on the V2s noticeable on the trail?
Btw, Arundel cages work well on Ibis bikes! If you want you can splurge on a Carbon one or just get a graphite or plastic type that I got - works great! Plenty of clearance.
I did notice the difference on descents with 1 degree head angle change, the v2s takes a little more effort on the flatter trails and the climbs where the ripmo v1 did just fine. The parts were swapped over from my ripmo the only thing different needed are the wider cranks for the Wider chainline. From reading a little bit, I guess they wanted to suit the bike for enduro a little more and they were successful at that.
I bought an Arundel carbon sideloader bottle cage on the Ibis website and it sits perfectly without touching the frame!
Sick! I will check those out also. Thank you
I did the same and it’s been great for me.
AMS Frame protection on that spot will get you out of trouble Outoffokus.
The Ripmo and SJ evo are hands down the best all mountain bikes you can buy for a reasonable price. I've ridden about every bike with similar travel and you can't get better well rounded bikes that can do it all.
The Swiss army knifes! I've ridden a stumpjumper evo around a little I almost bought one.
Yep! Dad had the ripmo and i have the evo!
which bike climbed better ? the stumpy or ripmo ??
Take a look at FidLock. It fits perfect with some adjustability and no matter what I have been ridding never lost a bottle.
Awesome! Ty only gripe I've had on the bikes but I never did the research on resolving the water bottle issue 👌
👌 I appreciate it
I run a Fidlock bottle setup on my V1 and V2S without any wear or rubbing.
I Use the fidlock it still rubs but I but a decal and a piece of clear frame protector over that sticker.
I appreciate it
Had same problem with bottle cage on my Ripley V2, and all those who fit were crazy expensive. And I found for just few dollars some cheap but super cool one named m-wave, and it fit's great without any of my camelbak bottles touching the frame. If you need I can see what model of m-wave that bottle cage is. Cheers!
Yeah please do, I appreciate the Input!
@@outoffokuss It's m-wave BC 26.
are you happy with the endurocell vs the green? So torn on color!
I am happy with it. The gold theme I had going on already matched up great with the endurocell!
More of these bikes should have in frame storage
That would be awesome 👌
@@outoffokuss it definitely is. Even my road bike has it. Don’t think I’d like a bike without it now.
I'm assuming you've ridden all the local spots on that bike like Frick, Alameda, etc...If so is it fun on our local trails in western PA? I'm 5yrs in on my Intense and the Geo is wack. Climbs like a do with a 71mm seat tube angle. I can pick that V2s frame up for 2,600 right now and swap most of my high end parts over, except the damn Crankset because it needs to be Dub Wide. It would be my daily on those trail systems.
It does alright for that type of bike if you want something with that kind of travel. It all depends on how you ride. It's sluggish, around here I feel. My opinion changed on bike travel once I started riding a hard tail.
@outoffokuss Yea reality is any of us riding bikes like that around here are all over-biked. I did the hard tail thing for years and they rip on most of our local XC trails. Appreciate the feedback, gives me more to think about!
No problem man, check with Tom at trailflo bikes he might have something you can demo before buying. If you do tell him Smooch sent you haha
So much talk about water bottle cages, does no one use the hydration packs anymore? I live in AZ so a typical water bottle isn’t enough water. I roll with a 2 liter hydration pack with room for tools and spare parts.
I don't bring the pack out until I have too. I ride light most of the time.
I ski strap a 16 oz bottle to my frame, 16 oz bottle in the hip bag and two 24oz bottles one in the frame one on the hip bag. 80oz no backpack.
hey man - nice am considering a ripmo v2s - quick quiestion - is it quiet? no rattles or any thing from cables etc? always after a stealth bike with no noise
I haven't heard any noises from it yet to be honest, but I also haven't ridden it through any chunky rock gardens. Good point I'll blast through 1 and let you know
@@outoffokuss thanks man really appreciate it looks rad the new v2s though hopefully it stays quiet in rough stuff too
@@didzy9349 no problem I'll keep you posted
@@outoffokuss thanks man
Just replying now the bike defintely has quieted down from the ripmo v1.
Specialized water bottle holder adjust up a 1/4 inch. My bottle doesnt rub the frame and i can carry a larger bottle.
That's a good bit of adjustment. I appreciate the input
Arundel Carbon Side loader.
All you need is KING CAGES TI
How tall are you and what size frame you running?
I'm about 5'8 I'm running a medium frame
@@outoffokuss word thanks. I’m 5’10” but the medium sizing is what my current large bike is. So just curious.
@@ryanakins no problem keep shredding
@@ryanakins im about 5'10" and wondering if the medium is the way to go for the new ripmo?
F r a m e p r o t e c t i o n t a p e 👀
Like the new logo but should have made it into real head badge not sticker. Hope all bikes go to the u.d.h.
I agree with both👍
Sri Lankan price please
6.3k euros in Portugal for the carbon NGX
