Common Exie Wheel Upgrades

Some riders may investigate carbon wheel on the Exie. Carbon provides improved torque transfer with a slight weight savings. However, on the Exie upgrading wheels isn’t as common as on the Exie USA.

35mm diameter cockpits are frequent upgrades to the Deore bike. Carbon fiber options from OneUp, Tag, Renthal and RaceFace are available in a variety of rises to fine tune your fit. Bars also have various levels of compliance and getting a bar right for your weight and riding style goes a long way to improving your trail experience.

Some riders will stay with an alloy bar, however, depending on your size you may still investigate different rise and width options. We have great alloy bars from Tag and Renthal, and OneUp in a range of sizes.

Having your hands in the proper place dramatically improves both your riding experience and comfort. Let our team help you spec a cockpit that will ride confidently up and down hill.

Brakes are an important factor in your bike’s overall personality.

XX SL Transmission Suspension Details

The Exie USA features 100mm of DW-Link suspension you’d come to expect from Ibis’ XC race offering. Both front and rear is given the FOX Factory treatment, with a Float DPS controlling the rear and a 120mm Step-Cast FIT4 remote lock fork. The dual remote lock allows simultaneous compression controls to allow quick locking of the front and rear suspension.

Alongside the remote compression controls both the fork and shock provide rebound and volume spacing as well as air spring PSI to fine tune performance.

Exie USA Suspension Upgrade

The most popular upgrade to the Exie USA suspension is our proprietary Pro Tune service.

Since an XC bike by nature has less travel its’ even more critical to have the suspension’s performance as dialed in as possible.

BikeCo Pro Tune Suspension

Taking advantage of Bike Co’s Pro Tune suspension service brings your bike to the next level of performance.

FOX has the best suspension on the market – but what if it could be tuned just for you, and therefore even better? At BikeCo our suspension team will narrow the performance band of the stock suspension based on your size, riding style, ground speed, aspirations and terrain.

Short version? Fox is built for every shape and size of rider. No one fit’s that mold. Pro Tune’s fit the bike to you, not the other way around. Chat with our expert staff about what a BikeCo Pro Tune suspension treatment will do for your riding. Because Every Click Counts.

The SRAM XX SL Transmission is a culmination of years of research to make an impressively light groupset with near flawless shifting. Until now, it’s never been a pick-two.

XX SL Transmission Wheel and Tire Details

The XX SL Transmission kit of the Exie comes stock with a wheel that brings a fantastic balance of trail performance and XC weight.

The Ibis 933 carbon rim is a 29mm carbon rim that is laced up to a Industry 9 Hydra CL hubset.

To say this is a good wheelset is an understatement. Hydra hubs are easily serviceable and the engagement is legendary, and the weight-to-width balance of the 933 is right at home on the top step of your local race series.

This is a good set of wheels which provides a medium to higher tire volume setup. Smaller than the Blackbird Send option the 29mm internal rim is a great option to mount a wide range of XC, Trail and light Enduro tires.

As the maximum rear tire is listed as 2.4″ few riders will be looking for wider rim options than the 29mm stock option.

Common Exie Wheel Upgrades

Carbon rims like the Nox Farlow XC or TeoCali’s are very popular for the trail worthy Exie, along with your choice of hubs form Chris King, Industry Nine, DT Swiss, and more are all great options.

Not sure what’s the right weight of wheel to go for and therefore what components to choose? Contact our expert wheelbuilding staff for insight in what fits your aspirations for your Exie XX SL Transmission build!

Exie USA Tire Swaps

We want you to ride the best tires for your needs right out of the box. We often see riders with specific setup desires, particularly on tires.

Maybe you’re looking for a combination of the Rekon Race, an Ikon or an Aggressor? Perhaps you’d prefer a more robust sidewall like the EXO Plus to improve small bump compliance a bit. No issues, we’ve got you. Chat with our team about your riding specifics and we’ll dial in your Exie USA’s tire spec.

Do you have a go-to setup? Perfect. Let’s put it on your build. Curious to know what XX SL Transmission clients gravitate towards?

Typically going to a narrower, more race-y 35mm setup, from brands like Renthal, Race Face, OneUp, and Tag. Bars have many different levels of compliance as well as shapes of rise and sweep, wondering what the right setup is for you and your Exie USA XX SL Transmission, contact the expert staff and BikCo and we’ll help dial you in.

Let our team help you spec a cockpit that will ride confidently up and down hill. Getting your hands into the proper place will drastically  improve your riding experience and comfort.

Popular Brake Swaps & Upgrades

BikeCo offers the best brakes from Shimano, TRP, Hope and Magura.

Looking for a snappy bite point with good power? Consider Shimano XT, and XTR brakes.

With unmatched modulation and great power, Magura continues to be the most popular brakes for our clients. Any brake from their lineup should be on your short-list. The MT8 is a favorite of GX Transmission Exie USA riders.

TRP offers even more power all with a slightly more modulated feel that Shimano.

With the Tech 4, Hope has increased their total power to be in-line with Shimano and Magura without compromising their amazing modulation, just choose the right caliper, and you’ve got a great offering.

GX Transmission Drivetrain Details

The Exie USA GX Transmission Kit is a wireless build marrying the proven reliability of SRAM’s AXS technology, and the trickle-down performance of the XX SL kit’s shifting performance, all for a more competitive price.

For many years, GX components have been known for their reliability and performance, at a slight weight penalty. GX Transmission now provides an even better balance of performance and price for riders everywhere.

Occasionally riders will upgrade to an XX or equivalent chain, or XX carbon cranks. The chain can provide a cleaner, stealthy look, with moderate performance gains. The cranks have a good reduction in weight to offer which makes this upgrade popular. Other than these upgrades, the GX transmission kit for the Exie USA is quite well rounded, and leaves very little to be desired from the start.

As the maximum rear tire is listed as 2.4″ few riders will be looking for wider rim options than the 29mm stock option.

SLX Suspension Details

Ibis’ Exie SLX bike is spec’d with FOX Performance fork and rear shock.

The fork is a Float 34 Performance, Step-Cast model with a GRIP damper. Fork travel for the Exie is 120mm. Tuning is done with PSI, volume spacers, rebound and a three position low speed compression control.

For a rear shock the Exie SLX is spec’d with the FOX Performance Float DPS. The shock is 190x45mm. Performance DPS shocks are tuned via PSI, volume spacers and rebound. Additionally the DPS has a “climb switch” that increases low speed compression.

Exie Suspension Upgrade

A popular upgrade to the Exie suspension is our proprietary Pro Tune service.

With less travel on an XC bike its’ even more crucial to have the suspension’s performance setup as dialed in as possible.

SLX Drivetrain Details

Shimano’s SLX drivetrain is close to the XT options in popularity. SLX components provide the Shimano performance riders expect at a minimal weight penalty compared to the XT bits.

With the Exie the SLX is the top tier drivetrain offered. The SLX spec is lighter and with a slightly extended service life compared to the Deore drivetrain.

One of the few upgrades we see to the Exie SLX build is a higher end Shimano chain. Some riders may plan to replace the SLX cassette when it’s worn out with a slightly lighter XT model.

SLX Wheel and Tire Details

Riders find Ibis 933 aluminum hubs laced to Ibis hubs spec’d on the Exie SLX complete.

This is a popular wheelset providing medium to higher tire volume setup. With the 933 rim’s 29mm internal width this is a great option to mount a wide range of XC, Trail and light Enduro tires.

Maximum rear tire is listed as 2.4″ for the Exie. Thus few riders will be looking for wider rim options than the 29mm stock option.

Common Exie Wheel Upgrades

Some riders may investigate carbon wheel on the Exie. Carbon provides improved torque transfer with a slight weight savings. However, on the Exie upgrading wheels isn’t as common as on the Exie USA.

Exie Tire Swaps

Often riders have specific setup desires, particularly on tires. Let’s get you riding tires that will work in your terrain and with your riding style from the get go.

Maybe you’re looking for a combination of the Rekon Race, an Ikon or an Aggressor? Perhaps you’d prefer a more robust sidewall like the EXO Plus to improve small bump compliance a bit. No issues, we’ve got you. Chat with our team about your riding specifics and we’ll dial in your Exie’s tire spec.

SLX Cockpit & Brakes Details

This is the most popular area for Exie swaps and upgrades. Many riders will find the 31.8mm alloy handlebars less appealing then a 35mm carbon handlebar setup.

Already have a go-to setup? Perfect. Let’s get it on your build. Want to know where SLX riders tend to gravitate?

35mm diameter cockpits are frequent upgrades to the SLX  bike. Carbon fiber options from OneUp, Tag, Renthal and RaceFace are available in a variety of rises to fine tune your fit. Bars also have various levels of compliance and getting a bar right for your weight and riding style goes a long way to improving your trail experience.

Some riders will stay in alloy bars, however, depending on your size you may still investigate different rise and width options. We have great alloy bars from Tag and Renthal in a range of sizes.

Having your hands in the proper place dramatically improves both your riding experience and comfort. Let our team help you spec a cockpit that will ride confidently up and down hill.

Brakes are an important factor in your bike’s overall personality.

Popular Brake Swaps & Upgrades

BikeCo offers the best brakes from Shimano, TRP, Hope and Magura.

Riders looking for great power with snappy performance gravitate to Shimano SLX, XT and XTR brakes.

TRP offers even a little more power with slightly improved modulation compared to Shimano.

With the Tech 4 Hope has increased their total power in-line with Shimano and Magura without compromising their amazing modulation.

Magura continues to be the most popular aftermarket brake, especially installed on new builds. We will credit you for any part swaps and with the variety of Magura price points most riders find the MT5 and MT7 brakes provide unbeatable value. Magura brakes offer great total power and top tier modulation without feeling soft. Magura offers a variety of brake levers to help riders fine tune their performance.

Ibis offers the Exie in three cost-conscious options. The Deore, GX and SLX kits provide riders access to this cross country / trail bike without breaking the bank.

Ibis Exie FOX Performance Suspension

Each of the Exie builds features a FOX Float 34 Performance fork as well as a FOX Performance Float DPS rear shock.

The FOX Float 34 Performance is a Step-Cast fork, with 120mm of travel and the GRIP damper. This fork allows tuning via the air spring, volume spacers, low speed rebound as well as a 3 position low speed compression on-the-fly switch.

With the FOX Performance Float DPS rear shock riders tune with air pressure, volume spacers and rebound. The Performance DPS shock also has a climb switch for putting all the power down to attack technical trails.

Along with the Vietnam frame the Performance suspension is another area to save riders money compared to the Exie USA builds.

The main differences between the Performance and Factory suspension are Kashima coated shafts as well as the Factory components have more sophisticated dampers.

Performance suspension riders will compensate with air volume spacing to fine tune ramp rate and support instead of using low speed compression controls.

Exie Suspension Upgrades

BikeCo Pro Tune Suspension narrows the suspension’s tuning range to a more rider specific setup. This makes every click of adjustment more impactful for the end user.

Chat with our sales team about the advantages of a personalized suspension tune on the Exie for both race and pleasure riding. You’ll be stoked you did!

Key Ibis Exie Kit Differences

The Exis is available in a 2 Shimano builds, Deore and SLX as well as 1 SRAM build with the GX complete.

All three of these are popular options for the Ibis Exie.

Shimano Kits

SLX components tend to be lighter and with a longer service life than the Deore counterparts. Both Shimano kits are popular, however if you’re really looking for that crisp shifting Shimano is known for you may gravitate to the SLX  build.

The SLX also has a Bike Yoke Revive dropper post compared to a KS Rage-i spec on the Deore bike.

That essentially sums up the differences between the Deore and SLX spec.

Riders on the edge of a budget often pick the Deore bike with intention to upgrade some of the drivetrain as it wears.

An upgrade that’s growing in popularity on the SLX bike is installing a wireless SRAM GX AXS derailleur and shift pod. This isn’t for every rider – but if you think you might be “that guy” (or gal) give our team a ring.

More on this on the Common Upgrades tab.

SRAM GX

The Exie GX build is probably the most popular option of the three factory builds.

SRAM’s 12sp Eagle has an incredible service life. While it tends to shift a little rougher than the ultra crisp Shimano it isn’t as susceptible to small cable adjustments. The SRAM Eagle drivetrain is an option for those who are a little harder on their equipment and want it to simply work before the next ride.

The SRAM GX AXS derailleur is a great option for this build.

Common Ibis Exie Part Swaps and Upgrades

Ibis Exie Upgrades and Swaps

When you’re shopping for a new mountain bike it’s common to have a wish list of bits outside the stock build.

Some of these might be things you intend to upgrade as parts wear, but others are so important to a bike’s personality that BikeCo suggests getting it right, right out of the box.

Let’s look at some common upgrades and swaps to the Deore, GX and SLX Exie bikes.

Common Exie Upgrades

The most popular upgrades to the Ibis Exie are cockpit, brakes and suspension tuning.

Suspension

Looking for that next level of performance? Ask about BikeCo Pro Tunes. We take FOX’s unbeatable performance and narrow the window based on rider specifics. These include size, ground speed, terrain, aspirations, etc, etc. Wondering how a Pro Tune fork and shock will improve your particular riding? Chat with our team today and we’ll help identify areas that our Pro Tune service will improve.

Rider Contact Points

Riders typically have a go-to grip and pedal preference.

We can provide a range of grips with variable patterns, technology and shape to improve your riding. There might even be a grip in a color to set off your Exie’s Navy or Bone colorway.

Tires

Another preference riders develop is “must-have” tire spec. This is one of the most common swaps on builds from any manufacturer. With notable performance differences between tread pattern, compound and sidewall lets make sure we get you on the perfect tire setup.

Exie riders aren’t all XC racers. Some may prefer a more robust tire setup for bigger trail terrain. Others might enjoy heavier sidewalls for improved damping. A lot of personality is found in your bikes tires. Let’s get you on the right tires right out of the box.

Maybe you want for rim protection? We have that covered too. Riders with carbon rims on their Exie pleasure builds may look at a CushCore XC for the rear wheel in particular.

Cockpit

A common swap or upgrade to Ibis Factory Spec bikes are the handlebars and stem. Many riders swap to a 35mm diameter combo over the stock 31.8mm options.

Getting the fit correct is important to your Exie’s performance. Handlebar rise and overall stiffness also improve the personalization and performance of your bike. Looking for suggestions? We have the best in the market from OneUp, Tag, Renthal and Raceface.

Chat with our team about hand positioning, carbon versus aluminum as well as advantages of the right handlebar rise on your new rig.

Brakes

This is one of the most common swaps or upgrades on any bike. Brakes that compliment your riding style and preference make a huge difference on trail. We offer class leading options in a variety of price points from Hope, Magura, Shimano and TRP.

Shimano brakes are very popular and are spec’d on several of the build options. Shimano brakes have good overall power with quick lever throw. This produces a brake with a strong feel.

TRP brakes are similar to the Shimano lineup. The TRP brakes provide a touch more overall power and extra modulation compared to Shimano offerings.

Riders who prefer a bit more modulation or “feel” to their brakes gravitate towards Hope and Magura.

The latest Hope Tech 4 updates have improved their power. This puts the Hope Tech 4 in the Shimano and Magura range for overall power while retaining the excellent modulation Hope has been known for.

Magura brakes are the most frequent swap or upgrade across all Ibis builds. Riders who appreciate modulation and power will find Magura excellent in both aspects. Magura offers models with across a wide price range allowing budget friendly swaps or upgrades. Riders looking for the most adjustability or tuning for their brakes will shop the MT7 with HC3 levers.

More about Pro Tune Suspension

Ibis Exie Suspension Details

Ibis’ Exie is spec’d with FOX Performance fork and rear shock.

The fork is a Float 34 Performance, Step-Cast model with a GRIP damper. Fork travel for the Exie is 120mm. Tuning is done with PSI, volume spacers, rebound and a three position low speed compression control.

For a rear shock the Exie SLX is spec’d with the FOX Performance Float DPS. The shock is 190x45mm. Performance DPS shocks are tuned via PSI, volume spacers and rebound. Additionally the DPS has a “climb switch” that increases low speed compression.

Exie Suspension Upgrade

A popular upgrade to the Exie suspension is our proprietary Pro Tune service.

With less travel on an XC bike its’ even more crucial to have the suspension’s performance setup as dialed in as possible.

Ibis Exie Geometry

The Exie is offered in Small, Medium, Large and X-Large. Riders from 5’0″ to 6’5″ options on the Exie.

Like other bikes Ibis shows their height crossover to be about an inch per size. For instance the Medium lists 5′ 3″ to 5′ 8″ riders while the Large typically fits 5′ 7″ to 6’1″ riders.

This is a good starting point, but isn’t the be all and end all to sizing your Exie.

Ibis bikes like the Exie are sized based rider height as well as leg and arm length. Riders who find their height in the cross-over of sizes will determine the better size based typically on inseam, flexibility and riding style.

Those with longer legs tend to upsize to improve riding position. This will increase the wheelbase and produce a bike with a bit more overall speed capacity that isn’t quite as snappy as a smaller option would be.

Riders with longer torsos or looking for a more “poppy” trail feel will tend to downsize. Although, with modern MTB frames designed to accommodate increased dropper post lengths riders who prefer the added wheelbase may upsize – so long as the reach doesn’t compromise stem size availability or put a rider “too far” over the front wheel.

If this is your first real XC type machine remember that Reach and Stack should be viewed together. The taller stack on an XC bike results in a “shorter” reach measurement but often has a comparable cockpit fit to a longer reach and lower stack Enduro style geometry.

Wondering which bike provides you the best fit? Our expert team is here to help you define how your size, riding style, terrain and aspirations will effect your ideal sizing.

XT Suspension Details

The Exie USA features suspension you’d expect to see on an XC race capable bike. Both the FOX Factory DPS as well as the Step-Cast FOX Factory 34 FIT4 feature remote compression controls. This allows riders to quickly lock out both front and rear suspension.

Along with the remote compression controls both the fork and shock provide rebound and volume spacing as well as air spring PSI to fine tune performance.

Exie USA Suspension Upgrade

The most popular upgrade to the Exie USA suspension is our proprietary Pro Tune service.

Since an XC bike by nature has less travel its’ even more critical to have the suspension’s performance as dialed in as possible.

BikeCo Pro Tune Suspension

Take your bike’s performance to the next level with our Pro Tune Suspension services.

FOX has the best suspension on the market – but why not make it even better? At BikeCo our suspension team will narrow the performance band of the stock suspension based on your size, riding style, ground speed, aspirations and terrain.

The abridged version? FOX is build for every rider size at every riding speed. You’re not every rider! Chat with our team about how BikeCo Pro Tune suspension will take your riding to the next level. Because Every Click Counts.

XT Drivetrain Details

The Exie USA XT kit is cable driven and most cost-conscious of the Exie USA builds.

For years XT components have been the best selling Shimano option. XT provides riders a great balance of performance and price.

Occasionally riders will upgrade to an XTR or equivalent chain. This can provide a slightly smoother shifting experience as well as slightly increased service life. Other than that it’s hard to find anything that the XT drivetrain really wants for.

XT Wheel and Tire Details

On the Exie USA XT complete riders find Ibis 933 aluminum hubs laced to Ibis hubs.

This is a good set of wheels which provides a medium to higher tire volume setup. Smaller than the Blackbird Send option the 29mm internal rim is a great option to mount a wide range of XC, Trail and light Enduro tires.

As the maximum rear tire is listed as 2.4″ few riders will be looking for wider rim options than the 29mm stock option.

Common Exie Wheel Upgrades

The rider looking at the Exie USA is probably building a dream bike right? So, it’s pretty common to see wheels upgraded eihter to the Carbon Ibis factory offering or handbuilt custom wheels.

We typically see the Exie spec’d with Chris King, i9 or DT Swiss hubs. These tend to be laced to NOX or DT Swiss carbon rims although the narrower Ibis carbon rim is a great option as well.

Exie USA Tire Swaps

We want you to ride the best tires for your needs right out of the box. We often see riders with specific setup desires, particularly on tires.

Maybe you’re looking for a combination of the Rekon Race, an Ikon or an Aggressor? Perhaps you’d prefer a more robust sidewall like the EXO Plus to improve small bump compliance a bit. No issues, we’ve got you. Chat with our team about your riding specifics and we’ll dial in your Exie USA’s tire spec.

XT Cockpit & Brakes Details

It’s very common to see riders swap or upgrade cockpit and brakes, no matter the bike or kit.

Do you have a go-to setup? Perfect. Let’s put it on your build. Want to know where XT riders tend to gravitate?

35mm diameter cockpits are frequent upgrades to the XT cockpit. Carbon fiber options from OneUp, Tag, Renthal and RaceFace are available in a variety of rises to fine tune your fit. Bars also have various levels of compliance and getting a bar right for your weight and riding style goes a long way to improving your trail experience.

Getting your hands into the proper place will dramatically improve your riding experience and comfort. Let our team help you spec a cockpit that will ride confidently up and down hill.

Brakes are an important factor in your bike’s overall personality.

Popular Brake Swaps & Upgrades

BikeCo offers the best brakes from Shimano, TRP, Hope and Magura.

Riders looking for great power with snappy performance gravitate to Shimano SLX, XT and XTR brakes.

TRP offers even a little more power with slightly improved modulation compared to Shimano.

With the Tech 4 Hope has increased their total power in-line with Shimano and Magura without compromising their amazing modulation.

Magura continues to be the most popular aftermarket brake, especially installed on new builds. We will credit you for any part swaps and with the variety of Magura price points most riders find the MT5 and MT7 brakes provide unbeatable value. Magura brakes offer great total power and top tier modulation without feeling soft. Magura offers a variety of brake levers to help riders fine tune their performance.

A common update is to swap to a PNW or Wolf Tooth remote lever.

The Exie USA frame is offered in Small, Medium, Large and X-Large. This produces bikes for a wide range of rider height.

Similar to other Ibis bikes the Exie USA is sized on height as well as arm and leg length. Riders will want to find a bike that balances a strong XC position without compromising the great handling Ibis bikes are known for.

Small and Medium Exie USA frames have a bit tighter size spacing than from Medium to Large or Large to X-Large. This is most notable in standover, stack and reach.

Riders looking for a pure XC race bike will look at 100mm fork options. While riders looking for a wider range of terrain will find the 120mm fork provides a playful, comfortable and confident bike.

The Ibis Exie USA is a tremendously special bike. While it has all the great things you’ll associate with Ibis, perhaps the most important is that it’s built here in the United States. A fun, rideable option with domestic heritage. Love it.

The Exie USA is a 29er with 100mm travel frame designed to pair with a 120mm fork. This is a bike at home on World-Cup XC courses that’s fun in a range of XC, down-country and trail applications.

Let’s dive into the Exie USA XT, GX Transmission and XX SL Transmission builds from Ibis.

Ibis USA Carbon Fiber & FOX Factory Suspension

All three of the Exie USA  builds feature the USA made carbon fiber Exie frame as well as FOX Factory suspension.

As a bike that can be raced at the top levels of Cross Country competition it makes sense to see the fork and shock have remote lockout options.

The Exie USA features the FOX Float DPS with Remote as a rear shock. Shock dimensions are 190x45mm. With a quick click riders can lock out the rear shock for ultimate power transfer.

Along with the remote shock Exie USA riders find a FOX StepCast Factory Series 34 FIT4 Remote fork at 120mm travel. This is an excellent balance for the Remote DPS allowing riders to quickly change the fork compression for terrain variations.

Exie USA Suspension Upgrades

The most common suspension upgrade is riders taking advantage of our BikeCo Pro Tune service. This produces a fork and shock with the performance windows narrowed to a rider’s specifics.  This makes every click of adjustment more impactful for the end user.

Chat with our sales team about the advantages of a personalized suspension tune on the Exie for both race and pleasure riding. You’ll be stoked you did!

Key Ibis Exie USA Kit Differences

The Exie USA is available in Shimano XT kit as well as two wireless shifting SRAM Transmission build kits.

Shimano XT Kit

Shimano bikes are known for their crisp shifting. Both the SLX and XT bikes feature 12sp drivetains with 10-51t cassettes.

XT components are slightly lighter than their SLX counterparts. The XT bits also feature slightly more exotic materials for both weight saving and service life.

Handlebar and stem are other differences in the build. XT builds provide Ibis’ carbon handlebar and i9 stems.

The Exie USA XT build is the Ibis factory cable driven option (although we can do custom or semi-custom SRAM cable or XTR builds if you’re interested).

SRAM GX Transmission and XX SL Transmission

The new SRAM Transmission drivetrain are the strongest and longest lasting options on the market.

Coming in slightly lighter the XX SL Transmission kit is the top tier option available for the Exie USA.

The XX Transmission bikes also feature Industry Nine Hydra hubs laced to Ibis S28 carbon rims. This is available as well on the GX Transmission kit as a factory upgrade option.

Another spec difference is found in adjustable seatposts. The XX Transmission features the wireless SRAM Reverb AXS while the GX Transmission kit is spec’d with a cable driven seatpost.

The GX and XX kits are rather close and we’ll see clients on each side of the fence with these builds taking advantage of the overall weight savings, or sometimes preferring the cost savings on the GX Transmission (especially as many riders will be upgrading to custom wheels – more on that on the next tab!).

Common Ibis Exie USA Part Swaps and Upgrades

Ibis Exie USA Upgrades and Swaps

If you’re shopping the Exie USA you know you want exactly what you want. And at BikeCo.com we love that. Let’s get that bike absoltuely dialed. Maybe you want the perfect XC race machine. Perhaps you’re looking for the perfect set of color highlights to the Exie USA frame. Maybe you want as many USA made products as you can on the Exie. BikeCo.com has you covered.

All three available Exie USA kits are well spec’d from Ibis. Still, it’s common on a bike at this level to expect the perfect setup and fit. So we’ll see a lot of part swaps and upgrades along those lines in the Exie USA XT, GX Transmission and XX SL Transmission bikes.

Common Exie USA Upgrades

So what are the most common areas for client’s to swap or upgrade on the Ibis Exie USA builds? Here are a handful of common areas we see client’s highlight.

Suspension

Nearly all of the Exie USA builds that go out take advantage of our BikeCo Pro Tune Suspension. When you’re purchasing a USA made, let’s face it – a special bike, why wouldn’t you want the fork and shock dialed for you?

Have our team work with you to produce the best riding suspension on the market. We take FOX’s unbeatable performance and narrow the window based on rider specifics. These include size, ground speed, terrain, aspirations, etc, etc. Wondering how a Pro Tune fork and shock will improve your particular riding? Chat with our team today and we’ll help identify areas that our Pro Tune service will improve.

Rider Contact Points

Riders typically have a go-to grip and pedal preference.

We can provide a range of grips with variable patterns, technology and shape to improve your riding. There might even be a grip in a color to set off your Exie USA’s Cyan Sky, Sage Green or Tangerine Burst colorway.

Tires

Another preference riders develop is “must-have” tire spec. This is one of the most common swaps on builds from any manufacturer. With notable performance differences between tread pattern, compound and sidewall lets make sure we get you on the perfect tire setup.

Exie USA riders aren’t all XC racers. Some may prefer a more robust tire setup for bigger trail terrain. Others might enjoy heavier sidewalls for improved damping. A lot of personality is found in your bikes tires. Let’s get you on the right tires right out of the box.

Maybe you want for rim protection? We have that covered too. Riders with carbon rims on their Exie USA pleasure builds may look at a CushCore XC for the rear wheel in particular.

Cockpit

A common swap or upgrade to Ibis Factory Spec bikes are the handlebars and stem. Many riders swap to a 35mm diameter combo over the stock 31.8mm options.

Getting the fit correct is important to your Exie USA’s performance. Handlebar rise and overall stiffness also improve the personalization and performance of your bike. Looking for suggestions? We have the best in the market from OneUp, Tag, Renthal and Raceface.

Chat with our team about hand positioning, carbon versus aluminum as well as advantages of the right handlebar rise on your new rig.

Brakes

This is one of the most common swaps or upgrades on any bike. Brakes that compliment your riding style and preference make a huge difference on trail. We offer class leading options in a variety of price points from Hope, Magura, Shimano and TRP.

Shimano brakes are very popular and are spec’d on several of the build options. Shimano brakes have good overall power with quick lever throw. This produces a brake with a strong feel.

TRP brakes are similar to the Shimano lineup. The TRP brakes provide a touch more overall power and extra modulation compared to Shimano offerings.

Riders who prefer a bit more modulation or “feel” to their brakes gravitate towards Hope and Magura.

The latest Hope Tech 4 updates have improved their power. This puts the Hope Tech 4 in the Shimano and Magura range for overall power while retaining the excellent modulation Hope has been known for.

Magura brakes are the most frequent swap or upgrade across all Ibis builds. Riders who appreciate modulation and power will find Magura excellent in both aspects. Magura offers models with across a wide price range allowing budget friendly swaps or upgrades. Riders looking for the most adjustability or tuning for their brakes will shop the MT7 with HC3 levers.

Custom Wheels

Along with Pro Tune Suspension Custom Wheels are the most common upgrade we see on Exie USA builds.

BikeCo’s hand-built custom wheels allow riders to spec a rim, spoke and hub combination as well as build specifics for the ultimate performance.

Ibis’ narrower carbon rim is a popular option as well as NOX or DT Swiss carbon offerings.

Riders also will find traction from using the right spokes and build techniques. Our team will help you define this at time of purchase to ensure you maximize performance and longevity.

USA made hubs from Chris King and Industry Nine are often spec’d on Ibis Exie USA builds. All of these hubs are available in a range of colors to highlight your build.

More about Pro Tune Suspension

Take your bike’s performance to the next level with our proprietary Pro Tune Suspension. Our team will custom tune your FOX fork and rear shock and narrow the performance from the FOX Factory range to a more precise setup designed for your riding style, aggression, ground speed, size and terrain.

This is one of the biggest upgrades to any bike – having the suspension dialed in as well as having a resource like BikeCo to help you fine tune the bike at time of delivery and as your riding speeds increase!

Ibis Exie USA Geometry

The Exie USA is offered in Small, Medium, Large and X-Large. Riders from 5’0″ to 6’5″ options on the Exie USA frame.

Like other bikes Ibis shows their height crossover to be about an inch per size. For instance the Medium lists 5′ 3″ to 5′ 8″ riders while the Large typically fits 5′ 7″ to 6’1″ riders.

This is a good starting point, but isn’t the be all and end all to sizing your Exie USA.

Ibis bikes like the Exie USA are sized based rider height as well as leg and arm length. Riders who find their height in the cross-over of sizes will determine the better size based typically on inseam, flexibility and riding style.

Those with longer legs tend to upsize to improve riding position. This will increase the wheelbase and produce a bike with a bit more overall speed capacity that isn’t quite as snappy as a smaller option would be.

Riders with longer torsos or looking for a more “poppy” trail feel will tend to downsize. Although, with modern MTB frames designed to accommodate increased dropper post lengths riders who prefer the added wheelbase may upsize – so long as the reach doesn’t compromise stem size availability or put a rider “too far” over the front wheel.

If this is your first real XC type machine remember that Reach and Stack should be viewed together. The taller stack on an XC bike results in a “shorter” reach measurement but often has a comparable cockpit fit to a longer reach and lower stack Enduro style geometry.

Wondering which bike provides you the best fit? Our expert team is here to help you define how your size, riding style, terrain and aspirations will effect your ideal sizing.

Ibis Ripley AF Frame Details

Ibis Ripley AF Frame Headtube details

Ripley AF Headset Details

The Ibis Ripley AF comes equipped with a press-fit, zero-stack headset, featuring a ZS44 upper and ZS56 lower.

It’s quite common for many home builders to have the headset installed prior to receiving the frame.

Most riders are looking for a “one and done” headset. As such, investing in a high-quality headset is a wise choice. We recommend either the Cane Creek 110 or Chris King headsets. With proper maintenance and servicing, these headsets should endure the lifetime of your Ripley AF frame.

Now, you might be wondering if you can use an Angleset headset. In truth, there are very few situations where we would recommend an Angleset for the Ripley AF. If you’re seeking a slacker and more aggressive setup, the better approach is to increase the fork travel to 140mm. This maintains the steer tube concentricity within the carbon fiber headset, preserving its original design. Simultaneously, it slackens the headtube angle and slightly raises the bottom bracket – both advantageous for tackling more substantial and challenging terrain. Counterintuitively, using a 130mm fork to achieve a slacker headtube can actually lower the bottom bracket, which contradicts the benefits of a slacker headtube.

Do you have any questions or need assistance with your Ripley AF project? Feel free to chat with our team today, and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Ibis Ripley AF Frame suspension details
Ripley AF Suspension Spec
Shock FOX Performance DPS, 190x45mm. Included with Frame.
Fork Stock spec 130mm. 140mm option.

Featuring the FOX Factory DPS shock, the Ripley AF is dialed in for the down-country and trail rider.

For those seeking a slightly more robust setup, some riders may explore the FOX Float X. This option endows the Ripley AF with a more aggressive trail and light enduro capability. However, it’s worth noting that the availability of the 190×45 Float X from FOX can impact build timelines, so plan accordingly.

Ripley AF Suspension Upgrade

Wish the Ripley AF was a bit slacker? Or had a touch higher bottom bracket? These adjustments can significantly influence how the Ripley AF responds to changes in direction and its comfort level when tackling more substantial terrain. Riders interested in these modifications should definitely reach out to us to discuss the 140mm fork option.

In addition to providing a bit more travel, the extended fork length alters the axle-to-crown measurement, resulting in several geometry changes. These include a slightly slacker headtube angle, an increased trail measurement, and a taller bottom bracket height.

Feel free to chat with our team about adding a fork to your Ripley AF frame order, ensuring you get it precisely configured to meet your preferences right out of the box.

Chris King is a popular bottom bracket for Ibis bikes. A range of adapters allows both SRAM and Shimano specs to be used.

Ibis Ripley AF GX Spec Details

Ripley AF GX Suspension
Fork FOX Performance 34, 130mm
Shock FOX Performance 34, 130mm
Ibis Ripley AF GX build suspension details

The Ripley AF comes spec’d with Fox Performance 34 and Float from Ibis direct.

 

When it comes to Ripley AF builds, Ibis’ choice is the Float 34 Performance fork, offering a 130mm travel range along with the versatile GRIP damper. With 10 clicks of rebound adjustment and 3 compression control positions, you’ll have precise control over your front suspension. Plus, as with all FOX air forks, you can fine-tune support and ramp rate using volume spacers.

The rear shock, also Ibis’ choice, is the FOX Performance DPS. It’s equipped with adjustable rebound and a climb switch for added versatility. Just like the fork, you can tailor the DPS’s ramp rate and support to your preferences with volume spacers.

 

Ready to take your Ripley AF suspension to the next level? Here are some popular upgrades:

One of the most favored upgrades is switching to a 140mm air shaft. This tweak gives your bike a with a slightly more relaxed geometry, making it confidently handle larger and more challenging terrain. The longer axle to crown measurement results in a slacker headtube angle and a higher bottom bracket – changes commonly found on longer-travel bikes.

Curious if the 140mm fork is right for you? Reach out to our team for insights into rider preferences between the 140mm and the stock 130mm option.

 

Upgrade to FOX GRIP2 Damper: Another common upgrade is swapping out the FOX GRIP damper for the GRIP2. With the GRIP2 on the Performance chassis, you’ll have a Performance Elite fork at your disposal. This damper offers high and low-speed compression adjustments in addition to rebound adjustments, enabling you to fine-tune your fork’s performance to perfection.

Explore Our Pro Tune Service for Ultimate Suspension Performance.

If you’re seeking even more from your suspension, it’s time to discover our exclusive Pro Tune service. BikeCo’s Pro Tunes can narrow the performance window of both your fork and shock, tailoring them precisely to your riding style and preferences.

GX Drivetrain Details

The GX drivetrain is Ibis, and SRAM’s, workhorse tier groupset.

What does that mean for you? That means you get a drivetrain that costs significantly less than higher tier models, works incredibly well, and can be easily upgraded to gain a large percent of the performance back.

Drivetrain Upgrades

By far, the most popular and influential upgrade is going to to the XO1 shifter which provides a much more precise cable pull and therefor shifting. Of course, with GX AXS on the market, that’s not a hard decision to make either, is it?

Some riders will also upgrade cranks to save weight, but we would recommend you focus on shifting performance for your dollar before chasing a few grams. Chat with the team at BikeCo.com and we’ll answer any questions you might have!

Ripley AF Tire Swaps and Upgrades

Selecting the Right Tires for Your GX Ripley AF is a very easy way to personalize Your ride.

Choosing the ideal tires for your GX Ripley AF is a pivotal step in defining your bike’s character.

Ibis’ Ripley AF comes equipped with tire specifications that some riders may find rather aggressive for their preferences.

Ibis opts for the Maxxis Minion DHR II with an EXO sidewall as the front tire. The DHR II is a front tire option that many riders will appreciate, offering enhanced braking capabilities compared to the Minion DHF. For those seeking a faster-rolling front tire, the DHF is also available in EXO, EXO Plus, and Double Down sidewall variants.

While some riders may contemplate switching out the front tire, the majority often consider altering the rear tire, originally spec’d as the Dissector. The two most commonly chosen rear tires for the Ripley are the Maxxis Minion DHR II or the Maxxis Aggressor, both known for their superior rolling speed when compared to the Dissector. Furthermore, riders have the flexibility to choose from a variety of sidewalls and widths between the DHR II and the Aggressor for the rear tire.

Already have a preferred tire combination in mind? Let us tailor your setup accordingly. Tires are a matter of personal preference, whether you favor an EXO Plus rear, a Double Down front, or any specific tire like the DHF, Dissector, or Aggressor – we’ll ensure your bike arrives perfectly configured to your liking.

In search of rim protection? Look no further. Chat with our team, and we’ll arrange for CushCore Pro or XC rim protection to be installed before your bike’s delivery, safeguarding your rims for your adventures ahead.

GX Cockpit & Brakes Details

Much like tires, cockpit and brake upgrades are common among riders.

Do you already have a grip/bar/stem combination in mind? If so, let’s fine-tune your build to your specifications.

Why consider upgrading your cockpit? Your bike’s fit is crucial. Some riders may require handlebars with different rises to optimize their performance. On the Ripley AF, there are both aluminum and carbon options that are popular choices.

For those looking to change their handlebars, many GX riders prefer a 35mm diameter cockpit. Alloy bars from Renthal or Tag are frequently selected. Carbon handlebars with a 35mm diameter are the most sought-after cockpit upgrade. You’ll find options from OneUp, Tag, Renthal, and RaceFace, available in various rises to precisely match your fit preferences. Additionally, handlebars come in different compliance levels, and selecting the right bar for your weight and riding style can significantly enhance your trail experience. Explore our range of cockpit options and optimize your bike’s setup for an exceptional ride.

Brake choice can make or break a rider’s experience and a bike’s capabilities.

Popular Brake Swaps & Upgrades to the Ibis Ripley AF GX

At BikeCo, we’ve curated an exceptional selection of brakes from renowned brands like Shimano, TRP, Hope, and Magura, ensuring you have access to the best options available.

For riders seeking robust power combined with snappy performance, Shimano’s GX, XT, and XTR brakes are the go-to choice. These brakes are known for their reliable power delivery and precision.

TRP takes it a step further by offering even more power and improved modulation when compared to Shimano brakes. If you’re looking for that extra edge in performance, TRP has you covered.

Hope, with their Tech 4 brakes, has amped up their overall power, aligning them with Shimano and Magura while retaining their exceptional modulation capabilities. It’s a perfect blend of power and control.

Magura, a top favorite for aftermarket brake upgrades and often featured on new builds, continues to impress. At BikeCo, we offer credit for part swaps, making it easier to upgrade to Magura brakes. With a range of price points, many riders find unbeatable value in Magura’s MT5 and MT7 brakes. These brakes offer substantial total power and top-tier modulation without feeling overly soft. Magura also provides a variety of brake levers, allowing riders to fine-tune their braking performance to perfection. Explore our selection and elevate your bike’s stopping power with confidence.

Why Choose the WTB Silverado Saddle?

The WTB Silverado saddle earns its reputation for a reason – it’s a classic that combines comfort and functionality seamlessly.
