The 2025 Ibis Exie is a high-performance cross-country race bike designed for riders who demand speed, agility, and control on challenging trails. With a sub-2,000g frame weight and advanced dw-link suspension, the Exie delivers an impressive blend of pedaling efficiency and downhill prowess. Crafted in Ibis’s Santa Cruz factory, this bike is built to excel in both competition and adventure, offering a smooth, powerful ride tailored to every rider's needs.
2025 Exie Features:
Tailored Seat Angles
Each frame size features optimized seat angles that engage your strongest muscles while minimizing strain on your knees and wrists. This ensures consistent and comfortable riding positions across different body types.
DW-LINK Suspension
The dw-link suspension system provides exceptional efficiency, converting every pedal stroke into forward motion while maintaining plush, responsive performance on descents. This makes it ideal for both climbing and tackling rough terrain.
Simplified Maintenance
The Exie is equipped with durable, lightweight bushings and bearings, including IGUS bushings in the lower link that are both lighter and stiffer. The threaded bottom bracket further reduces maintenance hassles, allowing you to spend more time riding and less time in the workshop.
Internal Cable Routing
Say goodbye to the frustration of managing tangled cables. The Exie features seamless internal cable routing with integrated tubes, ensuring an easy setup without the need for special tools or tricks.
Versatile Tire and Bottle Clearance
Whether you prefer aggressive, rugged tires or lighter, high-volume options, the Exie accommodates a wide range of tire widths. Additionally, it offers space for two water bottles within the front triangle, keeping you hydrated on longer rides.
Integrated Chain Guide
The Exie’s integrated chain guide provides peace of mind by preventing chain drops, so you can focus on your ride without interruptions, even during aggressive pedaling.
Lifetime Warranty
Ride with confidence, knowing that Ibis stands behind the quality of their products. If anything goes wrong due to a fault in the bike, Ibis will make it right, guaranteed.
