Designed for the harsh demands of the World Cup XC race circuit, the Ibis Exie is every bit as at home on a bike packing mission or long rides on your favourite singletrack loop.
Pairing 100mm of DW link rear travel with a 120mm fork, it slots perfectly into the new mould of trail capable cross country bikes. The DW link delivers incredible pedalling efficiency while retaining traction for technical climbs and a 67' head angle, paired to a step cast Fox 34 allows the Exie to open up in the descents in a way old school race bikes never could.
Add to that a 50mm stem and wide bar, and you've got a category defying bike, astonishingly quick uphill but still truly enjoyable to ride when gravity is on you side. Ample space within the front triangle allows room for two water bottles, while still having space for a tube strap of frame bag for those heading further from home.
The thoughtful details continue all across the frame with internal tubes for cable routing bliss, an integrated chain guide and size specific seat angles and chainstay lengths to make sure that every size delivers a balanced ride.
Like all Ibis bikes, both the lower link bushes and frame are covered by their lifetime warranty for ultimate peace of mind.

Our shop has genuinely grown from the trail.
