Ripmo AF er aluminiumsvarianten av Ripmo. AF tar de fantastiske kjøreegenskapene til karbon-broren ned til er svært gunstig prisnivå. Men der man hos andre merker må gå på kompromiss på demperenhetene, leveres AF med kvalitetsutstyr fra Marzocchi.
Resultatet er en sykkel som er dønn solid nedover og som vil takle all trøbbelen du leker deg inn i. Og samtidig er det en sykkel som klatrer knallbra og kan nytes i undulerende terreng. Rett og slett en rå og prisgunstig allrounder.
Over our long tenure from mountain biking’s awkward adolescence to its current anything-shreddy era, we’ve experimented with steel, aluminum and titanium—remember the Bow-Ti, the first superbike? We remember the metal times too, and it feels good to offer a premium ride experience to our broadening family of riders, courtesy of durable, affordable aluminum alloy.
The Ripmo AF UDH features a UDH derailleur for maximum future compatibility and moves to a 55mm chain line. The wider chain line allows for a stiffer chainstay.
With a steep, 76-degree seat tube angle and a rangy but not stratospheric reach, the Ripmo AF places riders centrally and upright over the bottom bracket. It makes for an efficient position that can go the long haul without placing too much weight on its slack, 64.9-degree headtube angle. A 44mm reduced-offset fork is more surefooted on steep descents and steadies high speeds. Better up, better down.
What’s better than a dropper post? A longer one. Our frames are designed to accommodate the longest dropper posts possible. Riders over 5’8 (or 173cm) can easily run a 185mm dropper post, while folks between 5’ and 5’8 (152cm - 172cm) can use a post 125mm or longer depending on inseam length.
