Missing since 2020, the full carbon Ibis DV9 hardtail mountain bike is back in the lineup. Despite a familiar looking frame, the geo is dramatically updated, and it gets a few new shapes and features down low.
The DV9 remains a 29er only, and is built around 120mm forks, but you can run 100mm to 140mm travel forks if you want.

Geometry is based on the World Cup-winning Ibis Exie short travel full suspension XC bike, the head angle is 2º slacker than the prior model – 66.5º across all four frame sizes.

Chainstays are 14mm shorter at 425mm. Combined, they should give the bike a bit more pop in the corners and climbs, and a bit more stability on the descents.

Despite tightening up the rear end, there’s still room for 29×2.6″ tires.
