Expirience with the Ibis HD6 SLX

Ludwig Döhl Outlaw. So you could call the HD6 SLX with a view to the product range of Ibis. Because both in the design, as well as the choice of wheel size, the HD6 SLX falls out of the familiar grid of Ibis. No other bike rolls out of the halls of the Americans so angular and with a mullet wheel setup. With a flat 64 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. With shifting systems, other manufacturers in the price segment above 8000 Euro continue to top up to the shelf. With the Ibis HD6 SLX, the real fun starts at the peak of the mountain. Because in the downhill, the on extremely technical trails is better than the competitors in this price range. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Ibis is behind its products. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Ibis sizing runs small.
