XT Wheel and Tire Details

Ibis 933 aluminum hubs laced to Ibis hubs are the factory spec on the DV9 XT bike.

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.

The DV9 has a maximum rear tire is listed as 2.6″. Riders gravitating to the larger tires might investigate wider rim options for higher volume tire setups. This provides a larger tire footprint for maximum grip while allowing lower PSIs to compliment grip and provide some additional small bump compliance.

Common DV9 Wheel Upgrades

Some riders may investigate carbon wheel on the DV9. Carbon provides improved torque transfer with a slight weight savings.

Ibis DV9 Geometry

Ibis DV9 Geometry

The DV9 is offered in Small through X-Large and designed for rides from 5′ 0″ to 6′ 5″ in height.

Along with height DV9 riders will want to compare sizes based on inseam and arm length as well. Riders on the sizing cusp will reference leg length to help determine the ideal sizing.

Another thing to take into account sizing a hardtail like the DV9 is what your intended use is and will you be able to get your cockpit setup in an ideal position. If you’re building a more playful, confident DV9 you’ll want to keep your stem and bars in a more trail or even enduro type setup. Shorter stem, often with higher rise bars. For a more “racy” build a slightly longer stem with lower bars will likely be a more ideal positioning.

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. Reach out to our team about your Ibis DV9 purchase by chat, email or phone!
