What Our Gearhead Experts Are Saying:

"The DV9 SLX build is a versatile hardtail that delivers speed, agility, and fun. The carbon frame is incredibly responsive, and the SLX drivetrain provides smooth shifting and a wide gear range. With the Fox 34 fork and Maxxis tires, this bike is ready for everything from cross-country races to technical trails. It´s the perfect choice for riders who want a high-performance hardtail that won´t break the bank."

Engineered for riders seeking speed, efficiency, and versatility, the Ibis DV9 SLX Build Mountain Bike is your key to unlocking a world of XC and trail adventures. Inspired by Ibis´s World Cup-winning Exie USA, the DV9 combines a lightweight carbon frame with modern geometry to create a playful and confidence-inspiring hardtail that´s equally at home on the racecourse or rugged singletrack.

At the heart of the DV9 is its lightweight carbon frame, featuring short 425mm chainstays and a slack 66.5-degree head tube angle for the perfect balance of stability and agility. The Fox Float 34 Performance Step-Cast fork, with 120mm of travel, provides a smooth and controlled ride over roots, rocks, and rough terrain. The Shimano SLX drivetrain offers precise shifting and a wide 10-51t gear range for tackling climbs and descents with ease, while the Bike Yoke Revive dropper post ensures you´re ready to rip on steep descents.

Thoughtful features like internal cable routing, a durable downtube protector, and room for two water bottles inside the front triangle make the DV9 a bike built for convenience as well as performance. Whether you´re taking on a long cross-country ride, hitting the local trails, or just playing around on a pump track, the DV9 SLX is ready to deliver a lightweight, nimble, and fun ride.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you´ll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
