What you need to know

Made in the USA, here in ColoRADo, by real people being paid real wages. We’ve sourced every part from domestic sources except the dampers, which come from Asia. As soon as an American company makes a good damper, we’ll use that one (we're working on that now). So yeah, RipRow is made in the USA by people who care about their work. When you buy a RipRow, know you are supporting our communities. 

Build pro-level muscle memory for great mountain biking. RipRow is basically a pump track that fits in a 2- by 3-foot footprint. Get your reps in the comfort of your home, then shred without thought. I had a killer pump track in my back yard, and I stopped training on it when I started RipRowing. The machine is way more effective.

Improve all of your critical riding skills: pumping, pump-manualing, hopping, dropping, jumping, technical climbing, sprinting, cornering (with the Pro Rocker Kit; see below) and more. Climb faster and easier, with no more back pain. Descend faster and smoother — with no more arm pump and quad burn!

Adjustable to fit RipRowers from about 4’9” (145cm) to 6’8″ (203cm) tall.

Create and maintain a strong, enduring body that works better in all areas of your life. RipRow is a Universal Movement Trainer that works your entire body in a fully integrated way. In terms of benefit per minute, RipRow blows away traditional cardio tools like bikes, treadmills and rowers. 

5-year warranty against defects. Cosmetic imperfections or shipping damage are not covered. The dampers are a wear item; if you use the RipRow a lot, you can expect to get about a year out of a set of dampers.

Perform better off the bike. When you RipRow, you’re getting a complete workout: legs, hips, core, back, chest, shoulders, arms, cardio, balance and coordination. This makes you a more effective human. The RipRow creates insane strength, control and endurance in your hips and core. This helps you perform even better during … let’s say … activities among consenting adults.

Lots of how-to videos and workouts are at the RipRow site.

Pro Rocker Kit

The Pro Rocker Kit includes two rockers to help you further improve your coordination and balance and core engagement. If you are RipRowing to train for any kind of athleticism, from mountain biking to skiing to walking you Labrador retriever in the snow, this is a very smart upgrade.

Reviews

These reviews are for RipRow v1. The function is the same with v2, but the price is a lot lower!

Outside Magazine: “… the best thing to happen to mountain bike–specific training, perhaps ever.”

The Pro’s Closet: “I’ve found that consistent RipRow training improves my confidence on the trail. … I’ve also found myself seeing these same movements when watching videos of my favorite pro riders. From Tahnee Seagrave to Danny MacAskill, I think all pro MTB riders use a combination of the strength, speed, and mobility you can develop on the RipRow to master their respective disciplines. … I bet that some top-level pros are privately using the RipRow as a secret training weapon behind the scenes.” That’s true! And it’s used by top motocross racers (in secret).

Amazon: Among many, “I am amazed at what the RipRow is and surprised something like this had not been invented before. A legit full body workout including pushing, pulling squatting, back, core, balance, cardio and more. Spin bikes only work the legs, row machines only work 1/2 the body (Pulling), but this thing is everything I need all in one. I really like it!”

MTBR.com: “If you can afford one piece of training equipment to help build all body strength for mountain biking, this is by far the best,” and “I love mine ! I have had it over a year and it is the only exercise equipment I own that has never turned into a clothes rack. … The motion with hip hinge and pushing and pulling against resistance is the closeted you can get to technical mountain biking. … I do not ride very much at all with full time job and commuting. But when I can ride, I feel great.”

SYD and MACKY: These famous mountain bike racers and YouTubers use RipRow as an integral part of their training.

Facebook: “The RipRow has helped me get stronger and more fluid on the bike. I find the workouts enjoyable, and like how easy it is to get in a fast and effective full-body workout. When I hit the trails, I find myself doing cool new things I’ve never done before. The RipRow has been one of the best upgrades I’ve ever made to my riding, and things keep getting better” and more.

TrainerRoad forum: “I like it, I’m glad I bought it, and I’m going to keep using it. I had an AWESOME summer of mountain biking (previously everything I did on the MTB was fitness based, I’m trying to improve handling/skills). … I do think it helped with overall strength and body position. One big thing that I noticed immediately when I started riding in the spring is how much better my legs felt on long descents. My forward quad (that is, the quad on my forward leg) used to BURN after a couple of minutes descending; I used to look for any short mellow section of trail to stand tall and take a break. No more. I can now rip all of my local trails without a second thought, and I spent three days in the Whistler bike park and my legs felt great. I attribute this directly to the rip row and the extra time spent in the descending position.”

Enduro MTB Training: “RipRow will be a big player in human performance on and off the bike!”

Mountain Bike Action Magazine: "RipRow is  a very versatile piece of equipment for riders. It’s great for building and strengthening the fundamental movements of mountain biking and seems to work about as well as the intense workout you’d get from being full throttle on a descent for the same amount of time. As far as indoor fitness goes, this is about as close as we’ve seen to an at-home pump track simulator. This would be an excellent addition to any rider’s home gym."

What about the RipRow app?

We all live on computers and phones. I’ve decided not to contribute to that mess. RipRow helps you connect with your body, mind and spirit. Listen to music or watch POV downhill runs, but please please please pay more attention to yourself than the screen.
