Ibis HD6 XT

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.

The 29″ front wheel, bol­stered by 180mm of trav­el, assures sta­bil­i­ty, where­as the 27.5″ rear wheel allows for addi­tion­al maneu­ver­abil­i­ty. The 165mm of trav­el skill­ful­ly man­ages any fall­out. With a 64 degree heat tube angle (one degree slack­er than the cur­rent Rip­mo), a BB height sim­i­lar to Mojo HD5, and chain­stay length iden­ti­cal to the cur­rent Rip­mo (despite the 27.5″ rear wheel), the bike main­tains an equi­lib­ri­um between agili­ty and stability.

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. With four sizes, this would have result­ed in larg­er jumps in reach, so we added a fifth 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.
