Summary

The Ibis Exie is a lightweight, efficient cross-country bike designed for speed and endurance, with a focus on sustainable manufacturing and modern geometry. Its DW-link suspension provides excellent small-bump sensitivity and efficient pedaling, making it a standout for climbing and technical terrain. While it excels in race and endurance scenarios, it may require more attention on burly descents due to its steep head angle and shorter travel.

Pros
  • Lightweight and efficient pedaling platform

  • Excellent small-bump sensitivity and suspension performance

  • Modern geometry and sustainable manufacturing

  • Playful and precise handling

  • High-quality, durable frame construction

Cons
  • Steeper head angle noticeable on descents

  • Higher price point

  • Limited travel for rough terrain

  • Some build specs may not suit all riders

Key Quotes
The Ibis Exie, while impressively light, is built for today’s XC racer with a magically sturdy-feeling 2000-gram frame, long wheelbase, and modern geometry.

The Exie is the fastest and most efficient full-suspension bike I’ve pedaled.
BIKEPACKING.com
The Exie powers up hills without sapping energy, but when you make a mistake or get bumped off line, the suspension is forgiving of mistakes and allows the rider to continue to grind up.

New Ibis Exie Mountain Bike is Made in Vietnam (And a Lot Less Expensive)

Jan 2023 · Zach Overholt

Was the original Ibis Exie intriguing, but too expensive? Ibis just launched a new version that is a lot more affordable!

Field Test: Ibis Exie - Ready for Your Next XC Race

Oct 2022 · Sarah Moore

There's more to the Exie than just a gleaming raw carbon finish and a low number on the scale.

Highs
  • Serious traction both up and down

  • Quality looking frame

  • Made in the USA

Lows
  • Steeper head angle is noticeable on the descents

  • Same length chainstays on all bikes

  • Lockout lever is in a clumsy position

Ibis Exie Review

Sep 2022 · Logan Watts

The ultralight Ibis Exie is made in their solar-powered California factory. Curious about its bikepacking prowess, we had to review one…

Highs
  • Lightweight and beautiful frame made sustainably in the USA

  • Extremely fast feeling with an efficient demeanor; could be perfect for ultra-endurance racing/riding

  • Incredibly sure-footed “stick to the trail” feel

  • Excellent suspension design handles small bumps incredibly well and feels bigger than it is

  • Massive frame triangle and built-in “portage handle”

Lows
  • Starts to lose its edge on burly technical downhills

  • A couple of build specs aren’t ideal, in my opinion, including the Rekon Race front tire and the single-piston brakes

2021 Ibis Exie XT Bike

Jul 2022 · Jason_Schroeder

With the climbing efficiency of a 100mm travel bike but with more control and stability descending, the Exie is a cross-country bike on steroids with a unique array of abilities.
