Carbonda Chinese Ripmo copy?

That doesn't have DW-Link. Not even close to a copy.

Geo on a L. Ripmo 1238WB, 435CS, 475 Reach. vs. 1263WB, 445CS 475 Reach. Won't be as quick.

Looks like a Chipmo - Copy to look like a Ripmo (or mojo), but with out the bits that actually make the bike what it is. So in the end crap.

looks half decent!

Is it linkage driven single pivot? Maybe there is a link in the lower pivot...hard to tell?

It doesn't even seem close to a Ripmo. 🤷‍♂️

It's like the worst of both worlds

Sure, other than the different geometry and suspension design, pretty much the same thing.

Apparently 180mm front and rear travel on this Carbonda frame.

Carbonda sounds like Honda ate a lot of pizza.

Looks terrible.

Why? No resale value, might as well pay up front for something that you can offload in the future...

I put this little side by side photo together. I'm not seeing much of that Ripmo in this Carbonda myself. The Carbonda looks very very unsophisticated and old school to me.

People with less experience with bikes are focusing on the yoke mount and thinking since they share the yoke mount they must be similar. Even bikes that share the same suspension arrangement, like dual links, does not guarantee they have similar wheel/axle paths. In this case, the suspension type is radically different.

Was going to say it visually looks more like a Yeti without Switch and before they moved the shock to the top tube.

Idk why everyone's shitting on it. Not a ripmo copy but geo is relatively dialed, i'd ride that thing over a boring ass ripmo for sure.

edit no bottle cage mount....it's a turd

It looks like a Ripmo through beer goggles.
