IBIS Ripley SL Eagle 90 Alloy Wheel mountain bike Tahoe Blue

Description

IBIS Ripley SL Eagle 90 Alloy Wheel mountain bike in Tahoe Blue is a full-suspension 29" MTB for XC and marathon riding, built around a carbon frame with 117 mm of rear travel. The build targets the performance category for technically proficient riders who want a modern 1x12 drivetrain without a front derailleur and an emphasis on pedaling efficiency as well as stability in fast terrain. The configuration combines lightweight, trail-oriented tires and components compatible with long-term service use.

Frame and geometry

The foundation is the IBIS Ripley SL carbon frame designed for 29" wheels and a full-suspension platform with 117 mm rear travel (XC/marathon category). Specific geometry numbers (reach, stack, chainstay length) are not provided for this model in the supplied materials, but you can expect an XC/trail compromise with an emphasis on an efficient pedaling position while maintaining control in technical sections. The spec includes a Cane Creek 50 IS41/IS52 headset, which matches the integrated standard and makes servicing easier. The Tahoe Blue colorway is the factory paint finish for this configuration.

Components

The drivetrain is based on SRAM Eagle 90 Transmission in a 1x12 setup, with a SRAM XS 1275 Eagle Transmission 10–52 cassette and a SRAM GX Eagle T-Type Flattop chain; the crankset is SRAM Eagle 90 Transmission DUB with a 30t chainring (165 mm for S–M and 170 mm for XM–XL). The SRAM DUB BSA bottom bracket means a threaded standard, which is practical for durability and serviceability. Braking is handled by SRAM DB8 Stealth with SRAM HS2 6-Bolt 180/180 mm rotors, a sensible diameter for XC/trail use with stable heat management. Suspension consists of a Fox Factory 34SL with a Grip SL damper and 130 mm travel up front, and a Fox Factory Float SL 210x50 mm rear shock. The wheelset uses Ibis 933 Aluminum Rims and Blackbird Hubs; tire choice is intentionally more trail-leaning: Continental Magnotal 29x2.4 Trail Soft up front and Continental Dubnital 29x2.4 Trail Grip at the rear. The cockpit features a Blackbird 35 Aluminum Riser Bar 800 mm and a Blackbird 35 Stem (35 mm for S–M, 50 mm for XM–XL), with Lizard Skins Strata grips; the saddle is a WTB Silverado Fusion Ti 142 and the dropper post is a KS Vantage Dropper 31.6 mm (140/170/210 mm depending on size).

Ride characteristics

The combination of 117 mm rear travel and a 130 mm fork shifts the Ripley SL from pure XC toward technical marathon racing and fast trail riding, where front-wheel confidence on steeper sections matters. A carbon frame typically brings high torsional stiffness for precise tracking and efficient power transfer during acceleration, while the full-suspension setup helps maintain traction over roots and rough ground. 29x2.4 tires in Trail compounds (Soft/Grip) increase mechanical grip compared with purely race-focused XC tires, which shows up especially when leaning the bike over and on wetter surfaces. Brakes with 180/180 mm rotors support controlled modulation on longer descents without the need to jump to significantly larger diameters.

Who it’s for

IBIS Ripley SL Eagle 90 is designed for experienced XC and marathon riders who want a modern platform with a Transmission drivetrain, a dropper post, and more trail-oriented tires for technical courses. It also makes sense for riders who like to go “fast off-road” and prefer a more versatile setup than a pure race XC hardtail or an ultra-short-travel full-suspension bike.
