Ibis HD6 Deore

The HD6 is the evolution of one of the most successful enduro bikes in history. Designed with input from our Enduro World Cup team and building upon our award-winning Ripmo and HD lines, the HD6 features increased travel, a completely redesigned suspension layout, and mixed wheels.

GEOMETRY

The29 front wheel, bolstered by180mm of travel, assures stability, whereas the27.5 rear wheel allows for additional maneuverability. The165mm of travel skillfully manages any fallout. With a64degree head tube angle (one degree slacker than the current Ripmo), aBBheight similar to MojoHD5, and chainstay length identical to the current Ripmo (despite the27.5 rear wheel), the bike maintains an equilibrium between agility and stability.

FIVE SIZES

In order to place every size rider in the same position over the rear wheel, theHDs seat tube angles get steeper as frame size increases. With four sizes, this would have resulted in larger jumps in reach, so we added afifth size. The smaller increments across five sizes means that you can find just the right size. We encourage riders to choose their bike size based on their desired reach and top tube measurements.

COIL COMPATIBLE

Our upper link suspension layout is progressive enough to be sensitive off the top, yet supportive enough for the biggest hits. It is also compatible withallcoil shocks, for those longer race stages that can tax air shock performance.

DW-LINK

The suspension layout may be new, but its still DW-Link. The inherent efficiency means you dont need an overdamped shock to climb well. Less shock damping allows the wheels to stay planted on the ground, providing more traction and that hover-bike feel that our frames are known for. TheHD6climbs with afinesse that defies its enduro race pedigree.

TRACTION TUNE

Our custom tuned front and rear suspension feature extra light high speed compression and rebound damping to deliver unparalleled traction. This allows the wheels to flutter through rough terrain like atrophy truck storming through aset of whoops.

BUSHINGS

Tired of buying bearings each season? So were we. Thats why weve strategically employed bushings where theyre most effective and bearings elsewhere. TheIGUSbushings in our lower link are not only lighter and stiffer, theyre virtually maintenance-free. We believe so strongly in them, we back them with free lifetime replacement.

LIGHTWEIGHT PREMIUM CARBON

All our bikes are built from the highest grade materials and optimized for the best strength, weight, stiffness, and ride performanceno matter how much you spend. TheHD6frame is sub6lbs without shock and our complete Enduro ready builds weigh as little as32lbs.

INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING

Bikes that look pretty on the outside should look pretty on the inside. We use carbon fiber tubes molded within each frame. Push the cable in, watch it pop outabeautiful moment indeed.

LIFETIME WARRANTY

If its our fault, well fix it. Simple as that.
