25% off is nice but Guerilla Gravity is offering 40-50% off select bikes.

They are using a version of the DW Link design, which before the latest SI (switch infinity) Yeti/Fox iteration was "the" staple for all-around kinematics.

In general if you were coming into the sport looking for the "one trail bike" with decent amounts of travel that you could still be pedaled well, and could tackle virtually any trail without holding you back for years to come (or, "forever"), one of the first suggestions should be the Ibis Ripmo.

Tbh, the 25% discount has been running for the whole 2023.
Yeah, I'm not that familiar with them either other than knowing they're a boutique brand that's even smaller in scale than Ibis. I work next to Ibis HQ but GG seems like the better value here.

Details from GG website:
"We are proud to be the only U.S. manufacturer of a full line of carbon mountain bikes. From design and engineering to the Fusing Machine and assembly all of our frames are created right here in the U.S. of A."

I don't see Gorilla Gravity bikes around too often, but this looks like a killer deal. Carbon frame, carbon bars, XTR drivetrain, XT brakes for $3,700.

What is up with that design? They somehow use the entire triangle for the rear suspension lol

That GG bike is 27.5…which many manufacturers have had excellent deals on as they just don't move off the shop floor compared to 29" bikes.

Lots of bikes at more reasonable prices these days. Used bike prices are essentially back to normal as well so don't ignore the listings on Pinkbike and your local CL and FB listings…

I have a Ripmo V1 GX and can attest it is an amazing bike. The thing climbs hills unlike any bike I've ever had. The only downside I've encountered is that there is not much clearance between the linkage and tire so rocks and mud can get in there. All my paint there has chipped off. Might not be the best wet weather bike. But I live in socal so that's generally not a problem.

GG make excellent bikes via a unique (to the bike industry) process of automated fiber winding over various mandrels to shape their tubes. This cuts down incredibly on labor costs as much of the carbon layup process is still manually performed by skilled workers in the cycling biz. It also cuts down on waste as there are fewer off-cuts of fiber in the production process. Win win!

Also unique to GG is the ability to move the headset around in the headtube to change the head angle without pressing a new headset. It makes the front end of the bike look a little chunky, but it's a good feature that helps riders find what works best for them. Many of their rear triangles are also interchangeable, so you can pick-and-mix parts to make just about any bike you're interested in.

tl;dr GG are a leader in US-made MTB and are extra worth your time at this price.

Yeah, seconding this. The Ripmo, especially the Ripmo AF is a fantastic bike, even at full retail. It tackles the vast majority of what the average rider will encounter, and can hold up reasonably well being pushed into stupid situations normally above a "trail bike" pay grade. Getting one 25% off is as good as you're liable to see. Plus, these come in black, unlike past sale models that were a more divisive silver or orange. Black gives a good backdrop to update it over time with all sorts of dumb, fun anodized parts, stickers, and colorful grips.

Yeah for roughly $1k more than the aluminum frame Ibis it seems like the XTR and carbon frame GG is the better value with better suspension albeit in 27.5 instead of 29 which is a deal breaker for me though.

Look at that hanging cables for RIPMO AF. Terrible cable management. I hope that they will continue to improve their design to hide those cables.
