Description

RIPLEY AF
The Ripley AF is our beloved, category-defying, short-travel, singletrack-scorching Ripley – rendered in aluminum, with more aggressive geometry.

All the sizzle and pop of the carbon Ripley, now available as a complete bike at a wallet friendly price.

MODERN GEOMETRY, PRECISE HANDLING
A trail-friend­ly 65.5-degree head angle and short (44mm) off­set 130mm fork com­bined with 29” wheels makes for a super plant­ed but still play­ful front end feel. A 76-degree seat angle puts your power directly to the pedals, while the short chain­stays and pedal friendly dw link kinematics deliver that power without squandering a single watt.

DW LINK SUSPENSION
Our 15-year collaboration with Dave Weagle has yielded yet another bike with unparalleled climbing efficiency and tractability. Incredible snap and responsiveness are its trademarks, and a whole mess of plush, chunder eating, downhill crushing goodness gets thrown in for good measure. Wrap that together and you get the best suspension you’ll find anywhere. It’s that good.

LONG DROPPER POST
The Rip­ley AF frame is designed with clear­ance for long drop­pers in mind. Check out the ​‘Drop­per Insert’ tab in the Specs & FAQs sec­tion below to find out which length of seat­post will fit your frame.

PICK YOUR SIZE
We use words like small, medi­um, and large to describe our siz­ing because it’s easy to under­stand, but our ultra low stan­dovers give you the abil­i­ty to size your frame based on reach and preference.

2.6” TIRE CLEARANCE
We pio­neered the wide rim rev­o­lu­tion a few years ago and inspired a new crop of wider 2.4” — 2.6” tires. When paired togeth­er, this com­bo can be run at ultra-low pres­sures that pro­duce elbow-drag­ging cor­ner­ing trac­tion with­out sac­ri­fic­ing speed.

REMOVABLE ISCG-05 MOUNT.
There if you want it, remov­able if you don’t.

SEVEN YEAR WARRANTY
We stand behind our prod­ucts. If it’s our fault, we’ll fix it. Our alu­minum frames are backed by the same 7 year war­ran­ty and excel­lent cus­tomer ser­vice as our car­bon products.
