Every rider dreams of have their garage lined with a stable of bikes. Take a peak into Jeff's personal collection of bikes with their unique build specs that create bikes dialed in to meet Jeff's hard charging ride style and unique lines. From long travel brutes to snappy trail bikes, Jeff's garage of bikes has a bit of everything.
IBIS MOJO HD5
The Mojo HD5 is the longest legged bike in the Ibis lineup with 153mm of rear wheel travel and 170mm of buttery goodness from the fork. Built around 27.5" wheels, this bike toes the line between a full-on enduro racer and a nimble, fun, and madly efficient all mountain trail machine.
Built for: Enduro
Frame Travel: 153mm Rear, 170mm Front
Wheel Size: 27.5" up to 2.8" wide
Ibis Ripmo AF
The Ripmo AF took all the awesomeness of the Ripmo V1 carbon wonder bike and packaged it into an aluminum frame. Ibis added a slacker head tube and a more progressive leverage curve turning it into an efficient pedaler that is ready to get rowdy AF. It also has the rad side-effect of being impressively affordable too.
Built for: Enduro, All Mountain, Trail
Frame Travel: 145mm Rear, 160mm Front
Wheel Size: 29" up to 2.6" wide
IBIS RIPMO V2
The original version of the Ripmo shook up the world of rowdy 29ers that could hold their own on the climbs. Following on the success of the wildly popular Ripmo AF, the V2 version of Ibis's carbon wonderbike brings a slacker head angle and an improved leverage curve that makes the bike even more confident and fun while keeping you happy while pedaling to earn your turns.
Built for: Enduro, All Mountain, Trail
Frame Travel: 145mm Rear, 160mm Front
Wheel Size: 29" up to 2.6" wide
RIPLEY V4
The Ripley V4 is the latest iteration of Ibis's most efficient trail bike, but this isn't just a XC race bike. By adopting the linkage and frame styling of the Ripmo, Ibis was able to make this 120mm travel bike more fun than an lightweight pedal machine should be. Plus, you can pair it with a 140mm fork to add even more fun on the descents.
Built for: XC, Trail
Frame Travel: 130mm Front, 120mm Rear
Wheel Size: 29" up to 2.6" wide
