The DV9 is back! A do-it-all carbon fibre hardtail designed to take you from the trailhead to the starting line, with a session at the pump track in between. Lighter weight, with up-to-date geometry, and engineered to the same exacting standards as the rest of our line, it packs a ton of performance at a more accessible price.
EVO's take on the DV9:
The DV9 is an unusual beast these days, neither a flat-out XC-rig nor an all-mountain slayer. Ibis developed the DV9 as an affordable carbon hardtail you could build up as a super-fast XC race bike with a 100mm fork or a trail bike with a 140mm fork. Switch to some fast-rolling xc tyres to do the South Downs Way in a day or go gravel riding, some fatter 2.4" trail tyres for your local trail centre.
The DV9 is a lightweight and comfortable carbon frame at a reasonable price that can change with your needs over time.
The geometry numbers really don't tell you much about this bike, it works great with a 50mm stem and 800mm bar for aggressive trail riding or a 70mm stem and a 740mm bar for tighter XC. The DV9 is a playful handling bike that climbs great, delivers great comfort due to the clever carbon layup, and lets on more techy downhills. A true all-around MTB frame.
* Not available on other builds or bikes unless expressly stated in that item's description.
GEOMETRY - Inspired by the World Cup Race Winning Exie USA, the DV9 features a rowdy-but-not-to-rowdy 66.5° head angle and ultra-playful 425mm chainstays. A low standover improves fit for the inseam challenged rider, while size specific seat tube angles give riders of all heights an efficient yet enjoyable riding position.
TIRE CLEARANCE - Whether you prefer the cushy and confident ride that 2.6” tires deliver or the blazing speed of weight-conscious 2.25” rubber, we’ve got you covered.
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING - Internal cable routing used to be a pain in the ass, but our internal tubes make routing easy. Just pop the housing through, and it comes out the other end; no need for swear words or a picket.
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.
2X BOTTLE CLEARANCE - The DV9 has clearance for two water bottles inside the front triangle of every size frame. Even the small.
LIFETIME WARRANTY - If it’s our fault, we’ll fix it. Simple as that.
