{"title":"Ibis Bikes","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat Are The Benefits Of Buying a Used Ibis Bike?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe benefits of buying a used Ibis bike include lower purchase price, reduced depreciation loss, access to higher-tier builds, and faster availability than new stock. A used Ibis bike costs 30% to 50% less than the original retail price within the first three years of ownership. The buyer avoids the steepest depreciation curve, which occurs in the first year of ownership. A used budget often allows the buyer to step up from a GX build to an XX1 or XX SL build at the same total cost. Used Ibis bikes are also available immediately, which avoids the multi-month wait times that affect new flagship Ripmo and Ripley models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHow Much Do Ibis Bikes Cost?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIbis bikes cost between USD 2,999 and USD 12,799 at retail. \u003cspan class=\"citation-7 citation-end-7\"\u003eThe Ibis Ripmo AF NX entry alloy build retails from USD 2,999.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"1\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"citation-6 citation-end-6\"\u003eThe Ibis Ripley GX AXS Transmission build retails at USD 7,249.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"2\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e The Ibis Ripmo V2S XX SL Transmission build retails at USD 11,499.

A used Ibis Ripmo V2 with a GX build in good condition typically resells for USD 3,000 to USD 3,800. A used Ibis Ripley V4 with an XT build resells for USD 3,200 to USD 4,000. A used Ibis Exie with an XX1 AXS build resells for USD 4,700 to USD 6,200. The price depends on model year, groupset, wheelset, frame condition, and component wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Special About Ibis Bikes?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIbis bikes are notable for the dw-link suspension platform, the Ibis-designed carbon and alloy wheels, the long-travel Ripmo trail platform, and the lightweight Exie cross-country frame. The dw-link suspension is a four-bar design developed by Dave Weagle, used across the Ripmo, Ripley, and Mojo platforms. Ibis wheels include the S35 carbon rim and the 938 alloy rim, both developed in-house with asymmetric profiles based on Stan's Bead Socket Technology. The Ibis Exie weighs under 2,000 grams as a frame in size medium, making it one of the lightest full-suspension cross-country frames produced. The Ripmo AF is the alloy version of the carbon Ripmo, offered as the entry point to the long-travel trail range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is The Ibis Bike Sizing?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIbis bike sizing uses a letter-based system from S to XL across most mountain models, with reach and stack values published per size on the Ibis geometry chart. The Ibis Ripmo V2S is offered in sizes S, M, L, and XL, with reach values from 433 mm to 500 mm. The Ibis Ripley is offered in sizes S, M, L, and XL, with an effective seat tube angle of approximately 76 degrees that varies slightly by size on the V5. The Ibis Exie is offered in sizes S, M, L, and XL, with a 67.2-degree head tube angle. Sizing recommendations are based on rider height, inseam, and intended use rather than frame size alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAre Certified Pre-Owned Ibis Bikes Worth It?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertified pre-owned Ibis bikes are worth it for most buyers. A certified pre-owned Ibis bike has been inspected by a qualified mechanic, serviced for safety, and is sold with a written warranty. The certified process verifies frame integrity, pivot bearing condition, suspension service status, and brake function. The buyer receives the same Ibis model at a 30% to 50% discount to new retail with reduced mechanical risk compared to a private-party purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Types Of Bikes Do Ibis Produce?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIbis produces mountain bikes, gravel bikes, and electric mountain bikes. The mountain bike range includes cross-country, trail, and enduro categories. The gravel bike range is represented by the Ibis Hakka MX. The electric mountain bike range is represented by the Ibis Oso, equipped with the Bosch Performance Line CX motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Does the Ibis Model Lineup Include?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ibis model lineup includes the Ripmo, Ripmo AF, Ripley, Exie, Mojo, Hakka MX, Oso, and DV9.

The company filed for bankruptcy in 2001 after Nicol sold it to an investment group. Ibis was relaunched in 2002 by Scot Nicol, Hans Heim, Tom Morgan, and designer Roxy Lo, and returned to market at the 2005 Interbike tradeshow. The company released the carbon Mojo in 2005, which introduced the dw-link suspension platform designed by Dave Weagle. Ibis released the first Ripley in 2013 as the short-travel 29-inch trail bike. Ibis released the Exie in 2021 as its dedicated cross-country race bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich Country Is Ibis From?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIbis is from the United States. The company is headquartered in Santa Cruz, California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich Is Better, Ibis or Santa Cruz?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIbis and Santa Cruz are two of the most established premium mountain bike brands in North America, and the better choice depends on suspension preference and intended use. Ibis models such as the Ripmo and Ripley use the dw-link suspension platform, which prioritizes pedaling efficiency and mid-stroke support. Santa Cruz models such as the Hightower and Tallboy use the VPP (Virtual Pivot Point) suspension platform, which prioritizes traction and small-bump sensitivity. The Ibis fit through reach and stack values is generally longer at the same frame size than the equivalent Santa Cruz model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAre Ibis Bikes a Good Value For Money?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIbis bikes are good value for money in the mid and upper tiers. The Ibis Ripmo AF GX build delivers SRAM GX Eagle, Fox Performance suspension, and a tested alloy frame at around 50% of the carbon Ripmo S-build price. The Ibis Ripley GX AXS build offers a SRAM Transmission drivetrain on the same carbon frame as the XX SL trim at a USD 4,000 lower retail. The Ripmo V2S Deore build offers a Shimano Deore drivetrain on the carbon Ripmo frame at the entry carbon price tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDo Ibis Bikes Hold Their Value?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIbis bikes hold their value better than most mid-size mountain bike brands. A used Ibis Ripmo V2 retains 55% to 65% of its original price after three years on the resale market. The high resale demand is driven by limited production volume, the dw-link suspension reputation, and consistent geometry across model years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere To Sell a Used Ibis Bike?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed Ibis bikes can be sold to certified pre-owned retailers, on dedicated bike marketplaces, or directly to private buyers. Lebel Bicycles purchases used Ibis bikes through a trade-in and direct-buy program for resale as certified pre-owned inventory. Lebel Bicycles offers immediate cash payment, store credit, or trade-in credit toward another certified pre-owned bike from inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Trade In a Used Ibis Bike?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA used Ibis bike is traded in by submitting model details, photos, and condition information to Lebel Bicycles for a written quote. The seller ships the bike to Lebel Bicycles or drops it off in person. Lebel Bicycles inspects the bike, confirms the quote, and pays the seller in cash, store credit, or trade-in credit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is The Best Certified Pre-Owned Ibis Bike Retailer?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLebel Bicycles is the best certified pre-owned Ibis bike retailer.
