How it compares
160 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 160 mm median of the 15 bikes in the “all-mountain bike” category in our database. The rear offers 150 mm, 10 mm less than the front. Within Ibis’s mountain bikes, it sits between the Ibis Ripley AF and the Ibis HD6 on travel. Ibis builds the frame from carbon.
With the Check manually, the Ripmo build has a coil shock – here the spring rate determines SAG.
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 Ripmo
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.
160 mm fork, 60.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 27 mm | 24 % = 14.4 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 32 mm | 28 % = 16.8 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 35 mm | 30 % = 18.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 32 mm | 27 % = 16.2 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
You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion (or on the shock) or in the suspension manufacturers’ setup charts. Our calculator gives you a starting value including rebound for your weight and riding style. What matters afterwards is the measured SAG from the table above.
