Ibis HD6 Carbon 29" Mountain Frame - Enchanted Forest Green, X-Large
ALL NEW HD6 Introducing the HD6, 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. DW-LINK With 180mm of travel and a 29” wheel up front the HD6 gives the confidence to charge into the rough. The 27.5” wheel out back gives you a bit more room as the 165mm of travel deals with the consequences. The all new suspension layout is progressive enough to be sensitive off the top, yet supportive enough for the biggest hits. It is also compatible with all coil shocks, for those longer race stages that can tax air shock performance. The suspension layout may be new, but it’s still dw-Link. The inherent efficiency means you don’t 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. The HD6 climbs with a finesse that defies its enduro race pedigree. GEOMETRY: Geometry, suspension curve, and the overall design goals were defined with input from our enduro team. The 64 degree head tube angle is one degree slacker than the current Ripmo, but a similar BB height and identical chainstay length (despite the 27.5” rear wheel) provides a balance between agility and stability. At the same seat angle, a tall rider sits 45mm further back than a short one. In order to place every size rider in the same position over the rear wheel, the HD’s seat tube angles get steeper as frame size increases. This means larger jumps in reach, so we added a fifth size. The jumps between frame sizes are now smaller, so you can find the size that’s just right. 34.9MM SEAT TUBE DIAMETER We’re also shifting to a numbered sizing system to encourage riders to delve into our geometry charts. Our frames showcase low standovers and uninterrupted seat tubes, enablin
