I Was WRONG About The 5th Gen IBIS RIPLEY Trail Bike...

I first rode the V5 Ibis Ripley more than a year ago. Now, back on it for the past 2 months, I can say I was wrong about this trail bike! It's good. It's very good! In todays episode I share my long term experience with this 130mm travel trail bike and how I was maybe a bit to harsh on it the first week I rode it back in 2024. I purchased this bike from Salt Cycles in Sandy, Utah. Chris, the owner, has Ripley is stock and ready to ship!
