23 Ripmo V2S GX Complete Bike

Ibis had to get very nit-picky to improve upon this bike, but they have done just that. The V2 takes this bike a hair further into the realm of enduro by decreasing the head angle by a degree - it now sits at 64.9 degrees instead of 65.9. In 2023, a new swingarm (the "S" in V2S) brings a host of further refinements. A Universal Derailleur Hangar (UDH) future proofs the bike by making it compatible with the latest generation of derailleurs. A wider chainline increases chainstay stiffness. A new rubber protector keeps chainslap to the bare minimum and better protects your frame. A new clevis features improved sealing to better keep out dirt and debris and improve bushing life. And a new downtube protector made from thick rubber better absorbs impacts to the bottom of your frame. None of this has changed the nature of the Ripmo—it is still the incredibly fun, sporty, and versatile bike that it always was—just more refined.
