Available in Star Destroyer Grey and Bug Zapper Blue, the new Ripmo V2 has a one degree slacker head angle, improved lower link protection, updated dropper post cable routing, more progressive and coil compatible, and it's a smidge stiffer.

Anyone has news about the new GX 52 cassette being sourced in the new GX builds? Wanting to pull the trigger but looking for getting it as part of the deal.

Fingers crossed! I'm about the same time frame. I haven't heard anything, but I also haven't reached out to my LBS.

Not sure about the 10-52 spec on new builds, but the Ibis site now has base spec with DVO suspension. Optional upgrades are now 2021 fox suspension. No more DPX2 or Performance 36 standard.

Got my V2 three days ago. Ordered it about a week and a half prior to that. Shop was able to add on my full kit to their frame order that was due in last week... I believe they got in quite a few Ripmo frames... This is the Tenafly Bicycle Workshop in NJ in case anyone local is looking....

Was that a stock build or with upgrades? I've heard the upgrades can cause a lot longer lead time.
That is good news! I order my V2 on May 30th. The ETA is DEC. Hopefully its sooner than that.
That's crazy fast! Before I ordered mine back in May I called around a dozen bike shops in the DMV area. They all said I had to order one and the ETA was Dec. Hopefully Ibis is catching up.
30.3 or so. I have changed one or two items since it was weighed when built up.
Climbing difference
Can anyone compare how this climbs compared to the AF? I know they are essentially the same bike with different materials. I'm wondering if the v2 has any noticable improvement in climbing over the AF? I have the coil AF but have been thinking of selling it since the used market is so good for sellers right now and getting the v2. I'm just trying to decide if the money is worth the upgrade, which I know is a personal thing given finances, but it's so tempting.

Climbing isn't the only reason I wanted to upgrade. I would be going going from L to xl since I'm a tweener on sizes and have been told by my lbs I should consider the xl. Going to see how the air shock feels compared to coil. I am one of the people that built up a tank af and am now complaining that it's heavy. Figure a lighter bike might be a little more playful and easier to ascend with. Can't find a lot of comparison between the af and the v2 other than it's a cheaper option that the v2 and the AF is more for smashing through stuff.
