From Backcountry
The Ripley SL comes out of Ibis's own manufacturing floor in Watsonville, powered entirely by the sun, and this XTR Di2 build tops the lineup with S28 Carbon wheels laced to Industry 9 Hydra hubs. dw-link's kinematics keep 117mm of rear travel supportive under power, so climbs stay efficient without the suspension feeling harsh when things get rough. Faster hub engagement and a lighter wheelset make the whole bike feel quicker to respond, from the first pedal stroke to the next direction change. What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"The tighter jumps between gears on this 9-45T cassette mean I'm never searching for the right gear mid-effort, every shift lands close to where I expect it.
