The Ibis Ripley will now be offered in two models: an updated version with the very well received standard geometry and a second model with a longer top tube and a slacker head tube angle called the Ripley LS. Ibis cut a new mold for the LS version, but both 29ers share the same rear triangle, which has been reconfigured slightly to offer increased tire clearance. Ibis will offer both standard and LS models with either the present 142 standard or with the new Boost 148 hub standard beginning this fall, so riders can upgrade their existing parts to a new frame or choose next-gen components. Both Ripleys will be available in a number of build kits that, in the Ibis fashion, can be customized to create your dream bike, or an afford-a-Ripley, using their virtual build page. Frames only will retail for $2900 USD, and standard builds (all popular Shimano and SRAM bits) begin at $3950 for the "Special Blend" and end at $8600 for Shimano Di2 components. Ibis has promised a test bike as soon as the LS frames show up, so stay tuned.
