Ibis Exie USA XT

The Exie USA is a World-Cup capable cross-country race bike that flat out shreds. With a sub 2,000g frame weight and dw-link suspension, it offers a stunning combination of pedaling efficiency and downhill performance. We designed, built, and test­ed it in our Santa Cruz factory, which is pow­ered by the warm Cal­i­for­nia sunshine.

Whether you’re rac­ing short track or on a mul­ti day epic, the Exie’s seat tube angles allows you to har­ness your strongest mus­cles, while reduc­ing any poten­tial knee or wrist strain. We’ve also steep­ened the seat tube angles as the frames get larg­er, to allow rid­ers with dif­fer­ent inseams to achieve the same rid­ing positions.

Don’t squan­der a sin­gle watt. Our dw-link sus­pen­sion plat­form offers incred­i­ble climb­ing effi­cien­cy and trac­tion along with plush, down­hill-crush­ing goodness.

We use bush­ings where it makes sense and bear­ings where it doesn’t. The IGUS bush­ings in our low­er link are lighter, stiffer, and vir­tu­al­ly main­te­nance free. We’ve also added fea­tures like a thread­ed bot­tom brack­et to help make any future main­te­nance easy.

Inter­nal cable rout­ing doesn’t have to be a pain. We’ve added inter­nal tubes to our tubes, no pick­sets, flash­lights, or swear words required.

The Exie USA has clear­ance for two water bot­tles inside the front tri­an­gle on every size frame.
