Exie V1 Specific FAQs

We offer two versions of the Exie. The Exie is manufactured overseas. The Exie USA is produced in our solar powered facility in Pajero, California.

All our manuals are available here. You can also find the Quick Setup guide for the Exie in the 'Setup' tab on the right.

We recommend a 120mm travel fork on the Exie. A 100mm fork will take the Exie from downcountry to World Cup XC. We recommend those interested in overforking the Exie take a closer look at the Ripley.

120mm.

The Exie is optimized around a 44mm fork offset. The 51mm offset fork shortens the trail (the distance between the contact patch and the steering axis), which can cause the front end to feel less stable.

No, the Exie is not compatible with a coil shock.

The Exie can accommodate a 2.4” rear tire.

The max chainring for an Exie is 36t.

No. The hydraulic hose's diameter is too large for the frame's internal cable tunnels. However, the Reverb AXS is compatible.

The Exie uses a Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) and axle which was developed by SRAM. We have UDH parts available on our webstore. You can also source these parts through any quality retailer. The hanger part number is AC-DRHG-MTB-A1. The SRAM Maxle Stealth Rear Through Axle (12x148 174mm shaft length, 180mm overall length) is 710845856129.

The Exie can fit 1x 26 oz Purist bottle and 1x 22 oz Purist bottle when the Arundel side loader cage is used.

Yes, the max size oval chainring we recommend is a 34T. Not all oval chainrings are the same, so we recommend double checking clearance before riding.

A medium Exie frame weights 5.15 lbs (2.34 kg). Weight for a complete bike start at 26.3 lbs. Weights for a complete Exie USA start at 22.2 lbs.

The maximum rider weight on the Exie, and all Ibis products, is 300 LBS or 136 KG.

You can find torque specs for the Exie in the tab above, or by checking our manual here.

The Exie has an integrated top mount chain guide that attaches to our lower link. If you’d like to run an after market guide, you can use a BB to ISCG-5 spacer instead of a regular BB spacer.
