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.
