  • Excellent small-bump sensitivity

Cons
  • Higher price point

  • Limited performance on technical descents

  • Heavier than some competitors

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!

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.
