From Backcountry
Ibis builds the Ripley SL by hand in a solar-powered facility in Watsonville, California, and the sub-5-pound frame that comes out of it reflects the control that in-house manufacturing allows. At 117mm of rear travel, dw-link keeps the pedaling zone efficient without feeling harsh when the trail turns rough, so short travel doesn't mean a stiff ride. What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I shift mid-stroke on a punchy climb without missing a beat, wireless XT Di2 doesn't care if I'm mashing the pedals when I ask for the next gear. That's not something I could say about a mechanical derailleur under the same load."Heads up!
