Ibis Exie VT NGX Mountain Bike

Why We Like The Ibis Exie VT NGX Mountain Bike

From rides that range into the double-digit miles to racing for the finish line, when we need a lightweight rocket ship of a bike, the Ibis Exie is one the first to come to mind. Featuring 100mm of DW-Link rear travel, dual 29-inch wheels, and capable geometry, the Ibis Exie slays singletrack and competes with the fastest racers on the course. A modest 67.2-degree headtube angle is perfect for handling whatever the modern XC courses have to offer while still providing snappy handling on flatter ground. Size-specific seat tube angles ensure an efficient climbing position for all frame sizes, and dual 29-inch wheels easily roll over rocks, roots, and other trail obstacles. Additional features on the Exie frame include two water bottle mounts inside the front triangle, an integrated chain guide for chain retention, sleek internal cable routing for a clean-looking, silent ride, and the ability to fit tires up to 2.4 inches wide.

The SRAM NGX build of the Ibis Exie is fitted with reliable components and sports outstanding value. This version of the Ibis Exie features a carbon frame made overseas to bring us the same performance as their more premium USA-made frame at a fraction of the cost but with a slight weight penalty. SRAM´s mixed NX and GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain sports a wide gear range for conquering any technical climb and has a reliable track record to bring us a component set that excels on the trails. Fox´s 120mm Performance 34 Step-Cast fork helps to save weight without sacrificing its bump-eating prowess, and the Fox Performance Float DPS has impressive small bump sensitivity and traction. 29-inch Ibis 933 aluminum wheels plow through rock gardens and over trail obstacles, while Shimano Deore brakes bring us reliable stopping power and modulation in a budget-friendly setup.

*Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated, and any adjustments will be of equal or better spec level. If you have any questions, reach out to a Gearhead by chatting online or calling 1-888-276-7130.

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.
