MRP Ribbon Fork Review (Better Than Fox & Rockshox?)

[@WorldwideCyclery]

What do you think of the MRP Ribbon fork? Would you pick it over Fox or Rockshox? Let us know!

[@dankestretard639]

In my opinion i'd have it between fox 40's and the mrp's

[@th_js]

Probably not because I bet its harder to find accessories/stuff for that fork than a Fox or RS, especially here in Finland 🇫🇮 👍🏻

[@christianholmstedt8770]

Thx for reviewing the fork. I went from a RS Pike RCT3 to the MRP Ribbon Air mainly because I was disappointed with the harsh feel of the Pike. It also leaked air into the lowers causing it to get even worse. Had to use the old 'zip tie through the seals' trick to bleed the lowers and frankly that is BS on a +$850 fork. Got it repaired and decided to just cut my losses and sold it. The Ribbon has two bleed valves on the lowers in case you need to equalize the pressure when changing altitude. The key thing with this fork (Ribbon) is the separate Pos/Neg spring adjustment. Like you mentioned the Ribbon is super supple. The complaint about diving when pumping through corners might be valid, I don't ride like that, but you can remedy this by lowering the Neg spring pressure. Doing that will make it feel more like a Pike. It looses the initial suppleness but gains stability/stiffness for pump style riding. The fork is not really a revolution because both RS and Fox used to have separate adjustments for the Pos/Neg spring but they took it out to make the fork easier to tune. You could say they dumbed it down for riders who can't or don't care about tweaking their forks. It's a shame because this adjustment is absolute key. I run 10% more Neg pressure than Pos to get that buttery smooth feel. With Pos/Neg equal is firms it up quite a bit in the initial travel. Really like the Ramp Control too. It is a mistake to say it works like a volume spacer because it really doesn't. It works more like an air damper. A quick suspension movement will be damped and it feels like the fork is very progressive. A slow deep motion will not be damped very much. It does however work great.

[@th_js]

@@christianholmstedt8770 I have a Pike RC and I agree on the quite harsh feel, but that's the only bad thing I got to say about it.

[@christianholmstedt8770]

@Tomi Saaranen Fair enough. I was just never happy with it. The real of the bike always felt much smoother than the front.

[@noahsears6651]

Thanks so much for the awesome comparison and kind words! We've worked hard on both models and I think you've successfully zeroed-in on the subtle differences between them. I'll switch over to the MRP KZbin account and start answering y'alls questions here soon!

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Thank you for the feedback! We loved getting the opportunity to ride them both and are stoked on both the air and coil versions, super fun especially on the terrain around here. The hard work is definitely paying off, excited to see what the future brings for MRP :)

@@WorldwideCyclery Since we've got air and coil options, it only makes sense to offer the Ribbon Elastomer next, right? ;)

[@noahsears6651]

@@oiyo5124 There was a major update for MY20, which improved performance via internal changes to spring and damper parts, new bushings, and a change to oil spec. You can tell old vs. new by the graphics - whether they look like the forks in the video or the ones on the website. Feel free to reach out via chat on the MRPbike.com website for further assistance! Thanks

[@midMTB]

Coming back to this 3 years later researching for a new build. This might be my all time favorite WWC video with tech explanation, sweet clips of different terrain, and rider feedback. I think I'm sold on a Ribbon for a new Stumpy Evo Mullet

[@TrailFeatures]

Would be interesting to see a follow-up video where you put the MRP ramp controller in some forks. I love what it did to my Yari.

[@themiddleagemasher8108]

Trail Features hey. I have a Yari on my dB release. Great to hear!

[@TrailFeatures]

@@themiddleagemasher8108 It's really is nice to be able to dial in the fork on the trail with the ramp controller and a shock pump! I did a video on it a while back, but I'd love to see Jeff give his take on it as a more seasoned rider.

[@themiddleagemasher8108]

Trail Features agreed. I ride the yari and my Pike fully loaded with 4 tokens

[@hardmtnbiker]

Great review of MRP, and also and an amazing video to display interpretations of this forks strengths and weaknesses, you nailed it!

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching. :)

[@michael186]

Great to see a review on something other than Fox and RockShox. Super informative guys, keep cranking out the high quality and informative content. No other channel compares!

[@exodusaquaria4057]

Great video. I REALLY like the clips showing what the riding types it excels in vs just giving a description of the riding. We are more root oriented where I am at, but I can more easily extrapolate how the roots would react vs rocks with the video.

[@ChrisFish_]

I haven’t tried mrp suspension but i have to say this was a great review and som real honest opinions. Great stuff!

[@George-Kliavkoff4Big12]

I just got one and have to say, for a heavy rider, im very happy. After setting psi at 40% of weight, i then took off an added 15% off that number. Then added 5% of that number for the bottom chamber. Set rebound to the middle, LSC is nearly open all the way. Absolutely love it.

[@shredderz7717]

Thanks for the review :) I've got the Ribbon Coil on a 2018 EVIL Wreckoning (with a Push 11-6 rear shock). The Ribbon has been really good, took a bit to get used to over air forks but I love it now. Grippy on rough terrain, nice and smooth in the chunk, great on high-speed stuff.

[@jamesmelendez4549]

I believe the Ohlins RXF 36 fork is both negative and positive air chambers. But I could be wrong lol. Luv the channel.

[@cooljacob3216]

I love my mrp ribbon, it definitely feels better than all the previous rockshox I owned. And being from grand Junction I ride with guys at mrp and they very awesome when it comes to customers service and are very happy just to talk to you about anything. it's less of a hassle when it come to maintenance because there local. I do agree that its a little weak when it comes to the mid stroke, but I do run a very plush set up for the rocky terrain here at GJ, but I've took my Santa Cruz tall boy out to a downhill park with the fork and i still had the air pressure fairly low and it run wonderful. Jumping felt really great on it and took it like a champ! I really do recommend this fork!

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Nice! Thanks for the feedback.

[@meSSican80]

If I was buying a fork I would go MRP Ribbon. I like to support the smaller companies when they are in the same ballpark of the big guys. That and I believe they are USA made. Great video WC.

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Definitely great that a smaller company is making a quality product! Thanks for watching. :)

[@mikedicke5505]

I have a 150mm Ribbon coil on my Banshee Prime, paired with the DHx2 its an absolute beast. It handles everything from local single track to heavy park runs. It stays glued to the track after back to back runs. Pure magic! Love these forks! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@MTB_Rider_96]

Because all of these shocks are so close in technology, it really does come down to cost. I really would like to see some maintenance data and some long term use data (Mean time to failure).

[@jeff7086]

How about a comparison between the MRP ribbon air and coil and the Cane creek Helm air and the coil?

[@bokiker2079]

Don't forget that the ribbon has a LSC adjustment as opposed to a HSC one, almost like a DJ fork. That'll really help in those pumping sections.

[@175thStreet]

Good stuff! I bought an MRP Ribbon a few months back and absolutely love it.

[@wasbiishot]

Could you compare the Sr suntour durolux next? I'd be curious to see a comparison.

[@SkeleTele]

Mantou mattok pro has negative and positive air chambers as well with the 70 dollar upgrade.. My buddy turned me on to this fork. It's excellent.

[@darrenwilliams6827]

Mrp ribbon rock🤘after years running rock show,fox. I ride a custom levo and I run the coil. There the best fork I've ever run,even got rid of my ohlins for these bad boys. If you love your riding go mrp🤙

[@Saxananda]

We have the tandem rated version on our custom DaVinci. Love it.

[@cedriceveleigh]

Air may be convenient if you're going to the bike park, but what if the temperature drops (happens up here in Canada), or there's a big altitude change? Then perhaps air is inconvenient.

[@axiomic]

Agreed. My biggest issue with my air suspension, front & back, is that here in Sydney the day will often start cold and then can easily reach 30+ degrees C before midday and the heat then greatly increased the suspension pressure. By this time in the ride I'm often already tired, and then the bike becomes like a hardtail !! I have to keep a shock pump with me and adjust on the fly... otherwise the ride becomes completely unenjoyable.

[@Cycle_Smith]

I think you’d love the Helm. It seems to get better the faster you go. Great support in corners too. The only weakness I’ve found is it’s rough when going slow.

[@nathanvanramshorst6435]

Whats up, Jeff. This is a really interesting fork but I'm curious how the performance compares to the DT Swiss F535. Currently riding a Fox 36 FIT4 and had a Rockshox Pike before. Is Ramp control worth the update for the Fox 36?

[@FatGuyBiking]

I love the idea of a light coil fork especially for a bigger guy like me I think coil would last longer too but heck way out of my price range.

[@ww8wv1]

I watched this last night on the product page from your website. For my radical hardtail build, I’m seriously considering the ribbon coil. What I’d like to see is someone do a comparison to this fork against the Cane Creek and Öhlins coil.

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Well Cane Creek and Ohlins both make great forks as well. My recommendation would be to dig into all of the unique adjustments that are offered by all three of them. Depending on what you want to adjust and prefer to adjust there is some variance between the different models there. My personal preference are the adjustments, Simplicity and weight of the MRP. Don't hesitate to reach out to our team if you have anymore questions. 😎

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

seems like that ramp control would be super sick in a 36 grip2. youd have uber amounts of tuning for alot of different types of riding. pick the right frame and something like a float rear shock, though may be over kill on the rear. throw on the new i9 hubs. nice weight weenie but still durable build kit. also kinda sounds like MRP could make a really good DH fork. with a bit of work probably something better then the other options.

[@toooldfortwowheels2048]

Well I can't afford a set of these forks right now, but they pretty much seem like the fork for me. Great video as per usual guys.

[@procore123]

Ribbon coil is great. Surprisingly, even at 215lbs, I still only need the med firm spring.

[@alexr4246]

I got the first (?) fork they made the 2015 Stage air for like 100 USD used it have some wear but i just wanted for my B bike hardtrail, and i absolutly love it sometimes even more than my Fox 36, the ramp control is a awesome feature that is unique, and their custumer service is also a plus. they are more likely to anwser you all the cuestions and really help you with tutorials and stuff to learn things like how to service your fork.

[@briangc1972]

I would like a comparison between the MRP Ribbon coil and the Truth Messenger. Everything we ride is high speed rock infested trails with an occasional smooth section thrown in just to remind us what everyone else gets to ride outside of Arizona. The video at 7:40 is mild compared to our trail, Suicide at 9:06 to the end is a beginner's trail out here, no jumps, no real berms to speak of (don't think I could pump a berm anyway), so I want/ need a fork to eat up the hard edged rocky terrain. Truth Messenger or MRP???? The cost difference is a non issue.

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Yo Brian! Based on your description I'd suggest the Trust Shout. That's the new Trust fork that is longer travel. With how rough you say it is, I trust you're riding something longer travel?

[@TheVic256]

Where I live, Fox spareparts are difficult to get, bike shops knowledgable on mtb tech like shock servicing is rare, I prefer Rockshocks because parts are cheap, easy to find and its easy to service myself ... I do like the feel of Fox better though... I suppose what I'm trying to say is that sparepart availability, ease of servicing and local knowledge/help plays a big part in what to ride as well - would love tobtry the Ribbon one day though...

[@WorldwideCyclery]

MRP has AMAZING Customer Support!!!!

[@christianholmstedt8770]

@Logan Mulally It's dead easy to set up. Do this: Open up Compression setting. Open up Rebound setting. Empty Neg air spring. Empty Pos air spring. Set Ramp Control to minimum. Fill Pos air spring to recommended setting for your weight. It's not the end-all-be-all setting but a good start. Fill Neg air spring to Pos pressure +10% for plush buttery smooth setup. Use +5% for slightly firmer setup. Dial in rebound damping. Higher spring pressure needs more rebound damping. Try riding off a few curbs. Hit the trail and adjust rebound until it feels good. Dial in some compression damping if you need. Play with the controls and get a feel for what happens. Same with Ramp Control. On smooth trails with no super chunk I don't think you need much if any. I rode Sedona and just had a few clicks of Ramp Control and about 3 click compression.

[@jdavis417]

I've upgraded both my Craigslist bikes (I'm poor) with the SR Suntour Epixon (32mm stanchion, air) and think they're great. Is that just because I have never tried the more-expensive stuff and don't know what I'm missing? ;)

[@jdavis417]

What about fork bob on climbing? Is there any way to get a partial lockout or easy way to firm up for climbing?

[@michaelstewart9308]

Fork lockouts for anything other than xc is the most pointless thing I can imagine. When riding enduro, you sit down and pedal up the hills (seated pedalling causes no Bob) and then you gun it down the hill. But if you're really worried about a "lockout" these forks have low speed compression adjust, winding it all the way on will be the same as turning on a lockout but I personally would never use it for that

Personally Looking at either the MRP Ribbon or Cane Creek Helm Air versions for my Stumpy ST to upgrade and have something I can change the travel with easier to standard Stump Jumper travel and back easier. Having something Plush at slow speed but being progressive is important to me. I'm on the heavy side atm at 200lb and I like my fork reasonably plush but I don't want it to bottom on drops so easy. I have the factory Fox Rythmn fork right now and honestly I'm impressed with how good it is for a more budget fork but I would like to eventually upgrade.

@Joseph Cameron MRP makes a 'FullFill' conversion kit for the Fox 36 that gets you independent Pos/Neg air spring adjustment.

[@kubagajda7347]

I've been thinking about getting a coil one, 140mm travel for my Kona BigHonzo... but would't it feel weird on a hardtail, if so much of the travel is that easy to dive through? Without rear suspension the dynamic geometry would be changing constantly :o What do you recon?

[@MRPBike]

I had almost the exact same question from another rider the other day. Personally, at 140mm I generally prefer air. At that travel length, with coil it can be a challenge to balance desired sag and bottom-out performance. As well, most hardtail riders gravitate towards air as the more progressive stroke suits them more naturally. But, some gnarly hardtail hardcores like firm suspension (minimal sag) and the ability to, um, defer maintenance, and thus are all-in on coil.

[@kubagajda7347]

@@MRPBike Thanks! I'm actually more about comfy cruise over rough stuff, that's why originally I tought that coil might be a good choice, but i see that maybe I'd be better with just a DebonAir upgrade for initial stroke plushnes and something like 6 volume spacers for a nice ramp-up

I thoroughly enjoy your impressions but the holding factor, spring or air accounts for 30-40% of the shocks total control. The rest is dampening and rebound both high and low speed. Fox and others will soon upgrade the bike world to the standard used in full-size vehicles and motocross world. We need to keep things simple and maintenance free, however the issues you describe are quite easy to accomplish with complete fork and shock package.

Most forks have positive and negative air chambers, they're just balanced internally. RS used to have separately filled chambers but moved away from this design. Neither design is better - each has pros and cons.

But, when they are separately adjustable, you can tune the fork to your terrain. Want more support for flow trails and pumping berms like he talked about = add more pressure to the negative side. Hitting big hits/jumps and super fast flow = add even more pressure to the negative side. Riding chunky rocky slower terrain = reduce the pressure in the negative side. Lots of in-between settings and you can play with pressures in both chambers to get it right where you want it. Then it has ramp control built in which is an upgrade to both Fox and Rockshox. It's also a twin tube design which is an upgrade from Rockshox and Fox. I'd say the MRP is actually better.
