I think there are stock constraints in certain regions for the Enduro - I read of someone who had been approved a warranty replacement frame, but had to wait for stock..
Probably not a Banshee if they are just making a same style bike as they have been. The cable is visible on this bike. But in Banshees the cable runs in tubing when its near the shock. Could be wrong, just something I noticed.
It's likely not a Supreme V5. The headtube shape is similar, but it's missing the Commencal logo relief and the alignment notches for reach-adjust headsets also seem to be missing.
The chain is visible to be following an idler-less low-pivot path, so not a v5! Also, may be it’s the angle the photo has been taken at, but the rear triangle seems awfully short to my eyes…
Apologies for tater cam.
New Ripley spotted today. Reach grows. Same design as the HD6. In frame storage, mullet chip, no other adjustments seen.
Claims...

Claims made:
The Ripmo will share the same triangles with a different shock and yoke.
Build weight XT/Fox Factory/Ibis Carbon wheels/ DHR II and Dissector 28 lbs.
seems like the yoke has been abandoned, that's good, well done Ibis

There is still a yoke used, just much shorter. The upper link is moved in front of the seat tube like on the HD6. I’d guess 1/2-1/3rd the total length of the older models.
I like the fluid injection system on the shock. I've wanted something just like it - there are plenty of bikes which run the shock "upside down" and the lubrication runs to the bottom so they always dry out way faster than when oriented the other way. would make a noticeable improvement to performance and longevity
US site still has every size available for Comp and Expert in both colorways.
Just like the UCI website.
Australian site has all sizes too.

Paging @NoahColorado
Any ideas?
I'm sure I recognize that head tube - just can't put my finger on it right now.
It's a commencal Supreme v5

Makes me happy that wheelbased is back from his break. Love reading his articles.

I love you too

But is it a 24/26 mullet with no drivetrain?
Ibis teasing the new Ripmo release for Tuesday. Looks like rear flip chip for mullet, frame storage, normal cables. Linkage looks like the HD6.
Actually… that is a 34… Ripley with a flip chip?
Flipley (I'll get my coat)
This is precisely what we intend to find out.
Looks like both carbon and aluminum options still. Nice.
99% sure that's just calling out a carbon wheel upgrade
Good call. I wondered why they would abandon the AF theme...
fyi i deleted the thunder mountain screenshots b/c thunder mountain asked. they messed up with page being live.
Looks cool.

And it also has a foam ring to aid the lubrication. So obvious when you think about it in hindsight, cool idea nevertheless.
