PSA: Ibis bikes 40+% off Competitive Cyclist

**Falcon3** · 09-19-2022, 07:57 PM

Holy shit. Kinda wish I hadn’t bought my Ripmo AF past month. Is Ibis going out of business or something?

Ripmo carbon XT $4000: https://www.competitivecyclist.com/i...-mountain-bike

Same bike but with carbon wheelset/I9 hubs $4700: https://www.competitivecyclist.com/i...-mountain-bike

Ripley carbon with GX $3200: https://www.competitivecyclist.com/i...-mountain-bike

Holy shit. Sold.out now but Carbon Ripley for the same price as the Ripley AF SLX I just bought and w a Factory 34 front fork . .wow. Glad its sold out or I'd cry. I feel like there is going to be a glut of bikes soon and prices will fall to pre pandemic. We will see

**MarcusBrody** · 09-19-2022, 08:18 PM

Whoa, thanks! I just impulse bought a carbon Ripmo XT for $3970.

Nice. That's an insane deal.

For sure. I'd gone back and forth on the Ripmo AF SLX which was on sale for $3200, so this sounded great. I probably would have gotten the carbon SLX, but they didn't have it in XL.

**Norseman** · 09-19-2022, 08:38 PM

... and I just impulse-bought an XL carbon Ripmo frame to compliment all the fancy bits I've been throwing on the metal version I bought in February.

Thanks for the PSA! That shit just saved me two grand.

fnka. Beers on me, Falcon

**Andeh** · 09-19-2022, 08:40 PM

Soooo... new bikes tomorrow? lol

**Falcon3** · 09-19-2022, 08:44 PM

Booo, I had the last Medium SLX in my cart and hit buy, and somebody snagged it right before me. Then the XT sold out as I transitioned to that.

**rideit** · 09-19-2022, 08:59 PM

One indicator of hitting a price bottom is when people are buying completes to part out again, as they are being blown out.

**mcski** · 09-19-2022, 09:44 PM

Holy crap, those are some steal deals! I have a ripley but this wants me to get more!

**jackattack** · 09-19-2022, 09:51 PM

Shit.

**Benneke10** · 09-19-2022, 10:05 PM

Wow, thanks for sharing. I would have gotten a ripley if they had any left in stock. They have a few mojos at crazy good prices too if you can live with smaller wheels

**evdog** · 09-19-2022, 10:58 PM

Pretty wide spread sale...20% off all full priced items. Gotta be some exclusions, but this isn't Jenson.

**singlesline** · 09-19-2022, 11:32 PM

Fuuuuck. I was literally looking at these bikes on their site earlier today and they were full price, maybe one build was 15% off.

an slx or xt carbon ripmo is my dream bike (and I cracked my frame on my current FS bike yesterday…)

**Falcon3** · 09-20-2022, 08:23 AM

Ibis Facebook page is pretty sure this was a pricing error. Makes sense as today the Ripmo is back to full price with 1 available.

Hope they honor the mistake and ship out for you guys!

Acquaintance of mine is a big Ibis dealer and did a IG story sneak preview of the new one, looks like it's going to use the new SRAM universal hanger, have a new integrated rubber chainstay guard, and was a nice looking blue-ish grey carbon Ripmo I think.. Pretty good marketing ploy on his part.

**Jtlange** · 09-20-2022, 09:36 AM

Dang, had I seen this my wife's Ripmo AF would be getting 2 lbs lighter and bluer..

**JaytaeMoney** · 09-20-2022, 09:38 AM

If this is legit and I missed out I am going to be very upset

**MarcusBrody** · 09-20-2022, 12:28 PM

And...it was an error. A Backcountry gearhead just called and told me that they won't honor the price. They did offer 25% off, which isn't terrible, if the XT/Factory build isn't available, I'd probably just get something less blingy in the $3-4000 range.

**Norseman** · 09-20-2022, 12:33 PM

Too good to be true!

No comms yet on my frame order but hope fades fast with your news.

edit... there's the email. Sigh

Yeah... honestly I could afford the $5500 if I felt like it. It's a good price in the current market for what you get. I just don't feel like it after believing they were going to give me it for $4000.

**jackattack** · 09-20-2022, 01:15 PM

If anyone had a Ripmo L they’re gonna throw back, hmu. -25% would probably be worth it for me.

Mine was an XL, sorry.

**californiagrown** · 09-20-2022, 05:47 PM

Can they not honor the price? Its not like they lose money on the deal, they just dont make any. 40% off is not an unheard of discount and is not large enough to be obviously in error.
