Are you using an Insta360 on a chest mount for that footage? I'm using the same for documenting some of my rides and it looks similarly shaky. I haven't figured out how to fix that yet.
The Loam Ranger just combined two of my favorite things. Porsches and Ripmos. So excited for the V3. My V1 is still performing like a champ though. Any tips about how to get life partners on board for 7k hobby purchases is welcome.
Dude your the guy who taught me how to ride a bike last year, like I said before after 3 weeks of riding a mountain bike after watching your videos, I was jumping 15 feet gap jumps, and shredding downhill fast Enduro free-ride at breakneck speed around burms, huge steeps and all the other craft you have to learn to ride in all different positions, speed on the bike etc. Then it was suggested to me that I have a hidden talent even at age 49, and to buy an Enduro bike. Three weeks dude after one bloody video "Alexander stand up to the jump, and relax to." So thanks mate, you took me from a beginner biker to intermediate biker after three weeks, many injuries in that three weeks to lol. That's the Beauty of adhd, lol. So now over a year later I'm pushing up to advanced level. I have two bikes. My favorite being the 2021 Maroon colour specialized status 160 mullet. If you ain't ridden it yet I suggest strongly you do, it means business on the front-end and a party at the back end. Lovely imbalanced dragster feel on the back end as the smaller 27.5 wheel bounces around burms and flat corners. The back smaller mullet wheel sends you up lovely into the air as you leave the ramp of a dirt jump, it even gives you a mini whip to without you doing the trick. The 29 inch front wheel is like pacman devouring everything in front of it, the 160 can take massive hits and asks for more massive hits to, it's like the rocky balboa of mtbikes in that it can take a real hard beating and still be fun also. Great video. Thanks mate.
That with sizing I must say is the biggest thing for me ....I am 200cm tall and really there is only handfull of bike in the market which will fit my size. And now Ripmo is the highest on my list for next season.
I've been riding, building, optimizing and improving mountain bikes since 1981, and for decades no one sold a bike I wanted off the shelf. A couple years ago I bought my second (since 81) off the rack bike, full carbon top of the line 29er. Except for changing out the stem, tires and saddle it's perfect. I guess it's good I don't care enough anymore to design my own bike stuff, because I don't need to. The tech to do so has advanced so much too.
No, it’s not. You’re looking at the V4 frame weight *without* a shock and comparing it to the V5 weight *with* a shock. The V4S with a shock weighs 6.6lbs and the new one is 7.3lbs.
I get it though. in-frame storage adds weight, so does the bigger shock and using the same frame for the Ripmo (i assume to save dev. costs.) The previous gen Stumpy weighed less than the V4S and was 130/140 and had in-frame storage. I'll probably stick with my V4S. Do not need the extra travel and I prefer the less steep head tube on uphill switchbacks and less weight.Looking forward to a 120 Exie.
@@TheLoamRanger my buddy weighed his V4. It’s slightly lighter 👍.That said, Ibis cut costs in engineering. They made one frame for 2 bikes. I can’t see people paying 9k for a 30lb Ripley.
Super interesting behind the scenes. The new bikes are pretty sweet. Here's hoping they'll release updated AF bikes (internal storage isn't a big deal, actually better if they left it out).
This is one of the best produced videos in the product release space that I have seen. Thoroughly engaging and holds my very short attention span and doesn't let go. Now to save my pennies for a new bike...
Great to hear your comment about the front wheel lifting on steeper climbs, that was an issue for me too, even with the saddle slammed, super glad to hear that was addressed! I love my ripmo af, but it took a custom suspension tune, a cascade link and 30id wheels to get it there. These seem to fix some of the suspension/progressivity issues, but I still wish there was an adjustable angle headset. Both the ripley (which I ran as a 140mm fork on my af, lending it basiclly the same geo as this iteration) and the Ripmo are so insanely versitile that having that adjustability can make either one of these bikes a one bike solution... so I guess I can appreciate why they kept the geo static haha
I loved my ripmo but like the v3 its very hard to reach the water bottle while riding on the xl. So I was hoping to see it higher on the frame. I just sold it and bought a spur as my trail bike, and I can reach the bottle on the xl while riding! The new bikes came out 2 days after I bought the spur, so I would have like to ride the ripley:( but thats the way it goes. Thanks for the updates, looks like the xl for a 6’5 rider would fit nicely.
The thing about a long reach is once your arms are locked out straight, you don't have anything more to work with. Then top tube and seat angle don't matter. Even you, at six feet, preferred the "extra medium." Bikes keep getting bigger and serve small riders less and less.
To be clear, I went for a size large Ripmo for my own personal build, and tested the extra medium Ripley because that's what they had on-hand. I found that for my exact proportions, the size large with a 35mm stem and the extra-medium with a 50mm are my two favs. It all depends on body size and riding style.
@@TheLoamRanger That's fair, but it doesn't change the fact that bikes have gotten too big for small riders. A 440mm reach on a small and claiming that's good for a 5 foot rider is absurd.
@@TheLoamRanger Extra medium is what their large used to be. Ibis is a rarity in that they don't have a sizing hole for 5'10" riders, the size L V2 Ripmo or extra medium V3 is spot on for a 5'10" rider.
Great video! Ive never had an Ibis, but after seeing this, will definitely be top pick for my next bike. LOVED the interview, with Collin basically white knuckling it the whole ride 🤣keep up the car videos too!
I have a Ripmo V1. Fucking great bike. I absolutely love it. The only knock on it is that an Ibis bird is also known as a Bin chicken in Australia. Takes a little shine off a boutique brand.
Ugh! Ibis is going to make me spend money I don't have...😂 I recently got a Canyon Spectral 125 CF8. I love it, but the proprietary headset and the creaking cable area behind the bottom bracket are driving me nutty! I have to keep constant maintenance on it to prevent it from creaking. I had an Ibis Ripmo a few years ago, but I am loving the shorter travel and this new Ripley looks like the exact frame I want, especially now that its geometry has been updated to be more aggressive! This was an excellent video. Especially for those of us who like to geek out on the process and all these details.
So...taking Ripley to 130 and maybe 1.5 lbs heavier, how does that impact quickness on less techy and more tight and twisty trails? Makes me wonder if a more stout Exie is on its way to fill the void.
Ibus looks like they trying to get a bite of the big S market share. Good looking bikes, good looking tech, hope I get a chance to ride one. Great Vid!
So I thought the chainstay length was directly in proportion to the front center for cornering performance. What I'm understanding in the video only pertains to seated climbing. Someone can let me know if I'm missing something.
Yeah the Z1 coil is an odd choice for the V3 Ripmo. I think a Fox 36 Performance would've been a better fit as they're trying to make the V3 Ripmo less enduro-y than the V2
I’ll start off with… great video as always! But what I need to say is… I CANNOT STAND MARKETING TALK “Size specific chainstays” “Steeper seat tube for taller riders so its balanced” “Size specific kinematics” Chainstays are 2mm different per size. Basically unnoticeable. Maybe the seat tube helps with balance between the wheel’s while seated. But when you stand up… it is no longer balanced at all. The reach might feel okay when seated, but then you stand up and it’s massive, with a short CS, you will just understeer. And size specific kinematics? Well, no shit? If you change the BB per size and use the same rear triangle and just pull the mounts back on the front triangle. You have to have slightly tweaked kinematics. It would be refreshing for a bike company to be transparent and say, “due to costs, we use the same exact rear triangle on every bike, that why the geometry/kinematics are a compromise and not dialed.” Just imagine if every front triangle was the same size, and the rear triangle changed extremely drastically per size? Everyone would be saying it’s ridiculous. Why can bike companies not afford to have size specific frames? Front and rear triangles?
I’m 55 avid mtn biker. Ride a switchblade. Should I sell the Blade and if so where? It’s nice. Ripley or Ripmo and why should I go with? Thinking Ripmo for more stability and soften the harsheness. I’m old thanks. Great vid. 👍🏻
@@jimnarvel9794 I will have to test both new Ripmo and Ridley. I love my Blade but at times I find it feels cumbersome especially on long hot tight climbs. Downhill not a problem. We’ll see.
I had my Ripmo V2 literally less than two months and they came out with the V2S. Because of the cable port for Shimano derailleurs on the V2, the shifting sucks. They corrected it on the V2S because they knew it was a design flaw, among other corrections like chain line etc.. They would not admit it was a screw up but didn’t offer a solution to their buyers, except to buy a new bike. And now they are doing it again. Not everyone buys a new bike every year when they release a new model, especially when they know they were the problem. I will never buy another Ibis product again. Sorry, once bitten, twice shy.
The top tube argument to explain big reach numbers makes sense until you get off the saddle, then the reach is just the reach and now your bike is too big. I'm suspicious of this design philosophy.
That’s always been the term for bike color selections. It’s used because something is rarely just one color. So calling my bike the color green isn’t accurate because that doesn’t account for the decal color.

why mute out the locations people ride? why even ask if you gotta mute it... stupid
Damn, my budget did not need this video to drop.
Exactly same thinking :P
Same
A STRAIGHT TOP TUBE! 🎉
I've only ridden the Ripley so far but it feels amazing. Can't wait to check out the Ripmo!
LOL that intro is hilarious! Video is great all around, per the usual! Thanks for the great content!
So is the outtro.
@@joecanuck3751 Haha it is!
Man it's been so long since I've ridden ******* or *******, they're such fun trails.
Great video, Ryan! Those tacos look yummy!
I’m still loving my ibis, Ripley AF.. That new Ripmo may be the ticket. I only do frames only build exactly the bike I want.
New bike day is coming up (next spring) and I think you've steered me in the right direction
Finally a good looking Ripley and Ripmo. Glad they decided to followed the HD6 design language.

The Ripley is now a heavy trail bike. Frame is 2lbs heavier. Never should of shared frames with the Ripmo

Extra medium isn’t a new size. Trek has a medium/large. Same concept and perfect for me at 5’9.5”
Yep my wife is going to be mad at me for another addition to my current Ibis Rip af 😂
Just ordered a large Ripmo V3, ETA November just in time for ski season. 😁
Nice one! Time to get a ski bike kit I guess haha
Luv the new lines on new Ripmo and Ripley. So clean and modern.
Mountain bike content is just advertising now, but you do it the best @loamranger. (I know you gotta eat 😊)
Living the dream in Santa Cruz!!!
Well I moved on from a Ripmo AF to a RM Altitude last year, but that new Ripley looks like it would be a great shorter travel bike for the quiver.

30 inch wheels?
Id = internal dimension. Which means rim width
@casestudymtb ah okay. I guess either I read it wrong or thought it was a mistake and you meant in instead of id. Thanks for the explanation.
Great to get an inside look into the design process
My eyes are STUFFED!!!
😂🎉
I loved my ripmo but like the v3 its very hard to reach the water bottle while riding on the xl. So I was hoping to see it higher on the frame.

I got tangerine and sky, gotta love the colors though
Ibis is life
RE the last scene, that’s why I have a trailer hitch bike rack on my boxster 😎
Ripley gone to far, not lightweight with that Ripmo frame😢🤷♂️
Agreed! It’s a shame. Still a great bike though, but just lost it’s identity.
Wow Ryan, really outstanding work you put into this video. Small video really. Should be a short film...
I Love your Videos and editing. So crisp🎉
My hometown. Great shots of the bikes I front of marine labs. Killer surf spot when it’s on. BARRELS when sidewalks is cranking.
great vis as usual - thanks!

8:30 but seat angle will only affect the weight destribution seeting, LOnger chainstays will work sitting and standing up
When are we going to get a lightweight ebike version of the Ripmo? 🙂
The OSO is great but it's sooooo heavy.

will they make a Ripley AF 5th gen?
The storage and flip chip is awesome. Just curious why the ripley only has 1 bottle case mount? The older ones had 2?
Great video. It ducks so bad that all those favourite trails aren’t legal
Pivot is calling from 2019 and wants their Firebird 29 design back. 🤣🤣
So...taking Ripley to 130 and maybe 1.5 lbs heavier, how does that impact quickness on less techy and more tight and twisty trails? Makes me wonder if a more stout Exie is on its way to fill the void.
would like to see the stacks come up a bit on the XLs
Amazing bikes well done Ibis! Might be time to upgrade my Ripley V3😂
What in the world is going on with those pedals??
came to the comments looking for this
They're some prototype pedals from a new company called Outlier. Stay tunned for brand and product releases this summer!
@@raapoloni These are pedals we've been developing, stay tuned for more info this summer!
Ibis please make a rear fender for your bikes ive gotten damage to the linkage with rocks. :(

Yeah, I'm looking forward to a Stumpy 15 vs Ripmo V3 review in the future!
Why did you bleep the trail names?
Great. Now I have to pick one!
Amazing bike lovet
What's the point of beeping out every single trail name? Beyond frustrating.
Trek has been doing a size between medium and large for years.
BB height is too low IMO for technical slow tech in particular. Will be keeping my V4, next bike will look to Pivot
So I thought the chainstay length was directly in proportion to the front center for cornering performance. What I'm understanding in the video only pertains to seated climbing. Someone can let me know if I'm missing something.
ITS A YETI!
As a medium large rider all my life I wanna kiss everyone at Ibis for making the extra medium
How do you bump the price of a new Ripmo? You stuff a Boxter key in the frame storage (somewhere in the video).
great video
Little bummed they went away from fox forks on the lower end builds for the Ripmo. Rest of the bike looks absolutely mint tho.
Yeah the Z1 coil is an odd choice for the V3 Ripmo. I think a Fox 36 Performance would've been a better fit as they're trying to make the V3 Ripmo less enduro-y than the V2

Not even close. Similar linkage/yoke, but that's about it.

what shoes do you ride with?
Those are the old Sam Hill 510’s. Super hard to find nowadays. Had the order the last set from some obscure shop in Europe!
