Ibis Exie

While the Exie is built with World Cup-winning geometry for elite cross-country racing, its 120mm front travel and capable suspension platform make it a versatile bike for long days in the saddle. It excels on technical trails where climbing efficiency and precise handling are just as important as downhill speed.

The Exie is crafted in Northern California using advanced carbon fiber techniques that prioritize a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. Starting at 2085g for the frame, it is exceptionally light for climbing, yet engineered to withstand the rigors of competitive racing.

Ibis uses IGUS bushings in the lower link to reduce maintenance requirements and increase durability compared to traditional bearings. These bushings are designed to handle high loads and resist wear, ensuring the suspension remains smooth and reliable over time.

Yes, the Exie is designed with clearance for two full-sized water bottles across every frame size. This is a significant advantage for long-distance rides or races where you want to avoid carrying a hydration pack.

The Exie features size-specific seat tube angles, which ensures that riders of all heights maintain an optimal, efficient pedaling position. This attention to detail helps keep your weight centered correctly over the bike, improving both climbing traction and handling precision.

The Exie utilizes a standard 73mm English threaded bottom bracket. This is a preferred choice for many riders because it is reliable, easy to service, and helps prevent the creaking issues sometimes associated with press-fit alternatives.
