How it compares
On travel, the Ibis Ripley AF is right where the “trail bike” category usually is: 140 mm up front against a median of 140 mm from 44 bikes. The rear offers 130 mm, 10 mm less than the front. Within Ibis’s mountain bikes, it sits between the Ibis DV9 and the Ibis Ripmo on travel. Ibis builds the frame from aluminium.
The Ripley AF build uses a coil shock (Check manually), so SAG is set with the spring rate rather than air pressure.
Setup notes for this spec
- Coil shock (Check manually): SAG is determined by the spring rate. Only add enough preload to stop the spring from rattling.
Target SAG for the Ibis Ripley AF
SAG is the share of travel your weight already uses in the riding position. The table gives it straight in millimetres – read the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft and adjust the air pressure until it matches. Any figures from Ibis take priority.
140 mm fork, 52.5 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 24 mm | 24 % = 12.6 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 28 mm | 28 % = 14.7 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 31 mm | 30 % = 15.8 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 28 mm | 27 % = 14.2 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
Basis: 2.40″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing. If you run tubes, add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi); with an insert, about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less is enough.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.43 bar (21 psi) | 1.63 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.55 bar (22 psi) | 1.75 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.67 bar (24 psi) | 1.87 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.79 bar (26 psi) | 1.99 bar (29 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.91 bar (28 psi) | 2.11 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.03 bar (29 psi) | 2.23 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.15 bar (31 psi) | 2.35 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
The sticker on the fork (or on the shock) and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.
