22 Ripley AF

The Ripley AF is our beloved, category-defying,
short-travel, singletrack-scorching Ripley—rendered in
aluminum and with a touch more aggressive geometry.
All the sizzle and pop of the carbon Ripley is now available
as a complete bike at a wallet friendly, $5,500.
This bike is a multi-talented shapeshifter; a light, snappy,
fast, fun, incredibly versatile bike that can get a whole
heckuvalot more rad than its 120mm travel and gossamer

weight implies. And making it out of aluminum only
broadens the Ripley’s already broad appeal. It still rips like
a Ripley. But it also costs a whole lot less than the carbon
version, and is, well, more metal

CONTEMPORARY GEOMETRY,
TELEPATHIC HANDLING
A trail-friendly 65.5-degree head angle (that’s
a degree slacker than the carbon version) and short
(44mm) offset 130mm fork combined with 29” wheels
makes for a super planted but still playful, precise but
still nimble front end feel. Meanwhile, a 76-degree seat
angle puts your power directly to the pedals, and the
short chainstays and pedal-friendly dw-link kinematics
deliver that power without squandering a single watt.

A WHOLE MESS OF OTHER GOOD THINGS
Price point accessibility is no reason to skimp on the details. So, in order to quell
your concerns while still respecting your wallet, we’ve sweated the details to the
fullest of our capabilities. Boost spacing. Threaded BB and ISCG 05 compatibility.
2.6” tire clearance. Post-mount rear brake, 203mm rotor clearance. Super low
standover, long-dropper friendly design. Seven-year frame warranty and lifetime
bushing replacement. Metric 190x45mm shock, and room inside the front triangle
for a water bottle. Cha-ching!
