The Ultimate Enduro Weapon: The Ibis HD6
Designed with direct input from the Enduro World Cup race team, the Ibis HD6 is a purebred enduro machine built to dominate the most demanding terrain. This carbon fibre race bike combines a cutting-edge mullet wheel setup (29-inch front, 27.5-inch rear) with a completely redesigned suspension platform, offering a perfect equilibrium of high-speed stability and exceptional agility. The HD6 is ready for race day right out of the box, with a ride quality that defies its category.
This is more than just a bike; it's a finely-tuned instrument for riders who live for big mountain descents, technical stages, and a fast, fun ride on every trail.K
The Ibis HD6 is the ultimate expression of a modern enduro bike. It climbs with surprising efficiency, descends with unwavering composure, and is agile enough to make even the tightest trail feel like a playground.
Race-Proven Suspension: The HD6 features 165mm of rear travel paired with a massive 180mm front fork. Powered by the legendary DW-Link suspension system, the bike delivers unparalleled pedalling efficiency, allowing it to climb with a finesse that is rare for a bike with this much travel. The suspension also features Ibis' custom Traction Tune, providing incredibly light high-speed compression and rebound damping for a planted, "hover-bike" feel.
Purpose-Built Geometry: The bike's geometry is optimised for aggressive riding, with a slack 64-degree head tube angle for confidence on steep descents. The progressive seat tube angle (76° to 77.5°, depending on size) ensures a comfortable and efficient climbing position. The short 435mm chainstays across all frame sizes make the HD6 exceptionally playful and easy to manual, corner, and flick around.
Carbon Fibre Frame with Lifetime Warranty: The HD6 is constructed from premium carbon fibre and is backed by a lifetime warranty, providing peace of mind and showcasing its inherent strength and durability. Thoughtful details, such as fully guided internal cable routing and a threaded bottom bracket, simplify maintenance and improve longevity.
Extensive Frame Protection: Ready for the rigours of enduro racing, the HD6 features comprehensive rubber protectors on the downtube, chainstay, and linkage to deflect debris and dampen noise, keeping your bike looking and running great. The frame is also fitted with a SRAM UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger), ensuring easy compatibility and replacements.
Versatile Build Options: The Ibis HD6 is available in various build kits from leading brands like SRAM and Shimano, featuring top-end components and Fox Factory suspension as standard on most models. This allows you to choose a bike perfectly tailored to your budget and performance needs.
165mm Rear Travel / 180mm Front Travel: A powerful combination providing exceptional composure on the gnarliest descents and big hits.
