We've added a third size in the middle of the bell curve to provide a fit that’s just right. With 80% of our riders falling between 5’5” and 6’0”, we introduced a new "Extra-Medium" size. The extra-medium (size 3) now sits in the middle of our size range, while our size five remains the traditional XL.
We’ve added more adjustability with a new flip chip - now you can run 29” or 27.5”/29” mixed (MX) wheels on all sizes without compromising the geometry. The Extra Medium and larger sizes ship with 29” wheels, while the Small and Medium sizes come with MX wheels.
We continue to use the critically acclaimed dw-link suspension platform known for its efficient climbing and strong downhill performance; it sets the standard for modern mountain bikes.
Drawing on the race-proven HD6 design, the Ripmo now has a coil spring friendly progressive shock rate and shorter clevis which makes it compatible with pretty much any coil shock.
Our size-specific kinematics make sure every size bike pedals amazing while still keeping things quiet and calm on challenging trails.
Get that gear off your back and into your bike with our frame storage system. The latch operates effortlessly, even in cold, muddy conditions while wearing gloves. The door is water-resistant, rattle-free, and robust.
We’ve partnered with Cotopaxi to craft a set of two internal bags for your snacks, tools, or whatever. Cotopaxi is known for high-quality construction and sustainable practices; the bags are crafted from remnants and dead stock, making each bag colorful and unique.
If it's our fault, we'll fix it. Simple as that.
