There is no XL Ripley available in Canada before the end of October.

What are the options in other brands?

If you are willing to go with the V3 version, they are being dumped in a couple of places:

Still a great bike and a steal at the price....

That is pretty much the backorder wait for most sizes. If you like the bike, I'd just wait. I almost bought a blue large Ripley and would have needed to wait the same timeframe.

If you want to try a similar bike, you could wait for the new Santa Cruz Tallboy. I suspect it will be very very similar to the Ripley. It should be out in the next month or so. However, that could have a wait also? Good Luck!

Get a Ripmo if the waiting is shorter!

Ripmo in XL shows Sept ship from Ibis (https://www.ibisb2b.com/ripmo.html).

I like the Pivot 429 idea if the OP wants a bike today.
