Perfect for both seasoned shredders and stoked newcomers, the newest AF version packs the same fast, playful feel the Ripley is known for — into a tough aluminum package that’s ready for anything.
With 130mm of rear travel and 140mm up front, it climbs efficiently and descends way above its travel class. The confident progressive geometry gives it quick and responsive handling on tight trails while keeping things stable when the speed picks up. Designed for riders who value agility, capability, and all-around fun, the Ripley AF shares all the features of its carbon counterpart: dw-link suspension, 29” wheels front and rear, with flip chips to run a 27.5” rear wheel (if you’re into mullets), and in-frame storage with two included Ibis bags — for all your snacks and tools.
It brings everything you love about the Ripley to a more attainable price point. It’s fast. It's fun. It's unapologetically metal… AF.
