Ibis DV9: The Do-It-All Carbon Hardtail for Every Ride
Unleash your inner shredder with the Ibis DV9, the versatile carbon fibre hardtail that excels on climbs, rips through singletrack, and pops wheelies on the pump track. This lightweight and impressively affordable hardtail boasts up-to-date geometry for modern trail riding, making it a true all-around performer.
Highly Praised by Riders & Media:
EVO Cycles: "The DV9 is a lightweight and comfortable carbon frame at a reasonable price, and it can change with your needs over time... It's a true all-around MTB frame."
Experience exceptional handling and efficient climbing thanks to the DV9's progressive geometry, inspired by the World Cup-winning Ibis Exie USA.
The Ibis DV9 is the ultimate hardtail for riders seeking a versatile, high-performance platform that thrives on any terrain. With its lightweight construction, playful handling, and impressive adaptability, the DV9 is ready to conquer every trail you throw at it.
Switch It Up: With tire clearance for both 2.6" plus-sized tires for technical terrain and 2.25" XC rubber for blazing speed, the DV9 adapts to your riding style.
Durable & Customizable: The DV9's carbon fibre frame is meticulously crafted for long-lasting performance, backed by Ibis' lifetime warranty for peace of mind.
Versatility: The DV9 is designed to be a "do-it-all" bike. It can be built as a lightweight XC race bike or a more capable trail bike, thanks to its compatibility with different fork travels (100mm to 120mm).
Frame and Weight: The full-carbon frame is noted for being very light (around 1,204g for the frame only), which contributes to its excellent climbing and acceleration.
Climbing Performance: The bike is described as an exceptional climber, with a "zippy" acceleration that makes it feel fast and efficient on ascents.
Descending Performance: While not a "hardcore hardtail" for very rough terrain, it handles well on fast and flowing trails. The bike's short chainstays are said to make it playful and easy to manual.
Geometry: The geometry is a key feature, balancing a steep seat tube angle for efficient climbing with a slacker head tube angle for confidence on descents.
Internal Cable Routing - Internal cable routing used to be a pain in the ass, but the internal tubes make routing easy. Just pop the housing through, and it comes out the other end, no need for swear words or a pickset.
Frame Protection - Our thick rubber downtube and chainstay protection help dampen noise and protect the frame. We’ve also included a simple-yet-elegant adjustable top guide that allows you to drop the hammer, not your chain.
2 x Bottle Clearance- The DV9 has clearance for two water bottles inside the front triangle of every size frame. Even the small.
