How it compares
140 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 140 mm median of the 44 bikes in the “trail bike” category in our database. The fork has 10 mm more travel than the rear end with 130 mm – a common layout that takes load off the front on steep terrain. On travel, it slots in between the Ibis DV9 and the Ibis Ripmo in the Ibis range. Ibis builds the frame from carbon.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air shock (Check manually): measure SAG in your riding position, ideally with a helper holding the bike. Cycle the shock a few times after every pressure change.
Target SAG for the Ibis Ripley
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Ibis specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes 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
The values apply to 2.40″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing. With an inner tube add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi), with an insert take off about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi).
| 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.
