Field Test Review: 2024 Ibis HD6 - Sporty and Smashy

Oct 2023 · Matt Beer

The all-new HD6 is a highly capable race bike that is light and snappy, with 165mm of travel out back.

Highs
  • Can charge rough trails yet remains alive on flatter terrain

  • Composed, quiet, and efficient rear suspension

  • Excels at weaving through tighter trails

Lows
  • Low stack height and greater fork sag led to reservations on steeper trails

  • Same chainstay length on all sizes

  • Top-of-the line model doesn't offer the best value
