The HD6 is the evolution of one of the most successful enduro bikes in history. Designed with input from our Enduro World Cup team and building upon our award-winning Ripmo and HD lines, the HD6 features increased travel, a completely redesigned suspension layout, and mixed wheels.
Geometry
The 29" front wheel, bolstered by 180mm of travel, assures stability, whereas the 27.5" rear wheel allows for additional maneuverability. The 165mm of travel skillfully manages any fallout. With a 64-degree head tube angle, a BB height similar to Mojo HD5, and a 435mm chainstay length, the bike maintains an equilibrium between agility and stability.
Five Sizes
In order to place every size rider in the same position over the rear wheel, the HD’s seat tube angles get steeper as frame size increases. With four sizes, this would have resulted in larger jumps in reach, so we added a fifth size. The smaller increments across five sizes means that you can find just the right size. We encourage riders to choose their bike size based on their desired reach and top tube measurements.
Coil Compatible
Our upper link suspension layout is progressive enough to be sensitive off the top, yet supportive enough for the biggest hits. It is also compatible with all coil shocks, for those longer race stages that can tax air shock performance.
DW-Link
The suspension layout may be new, but it’s still DW-Link. The inherent efficiency means you don’t need an overdamped shock to climb well. Less shock damping allows the wheels to stay planted on the ground, providing more traction and that hover-bike feel that our frames are known for. The HD6 climbs with a finesse that defies its enduro race pedigree.
Traction Tune
Our custom tuned front and rear suspension feature extra light, high-speed compression and rebound damping to deliver unparalleled traction. This allows the wheels to flutter through rough terrain like a trophy truck storming through a set of whoops.
Bushings
Tired of buying bearings each season? So were we. That's why we've strategically employed bushings where they're most effective and bearings elsewhere. The IGUS bushings in our lower link are not only lighter and stiffer, they're virtually maintenance-free. We believe so strongly in them, we back them with free lifetime replacement.
Internal Cable Routing
Bikes that look pretty on the outside should look pretty on the inside. We use carbon fiber tubes molded within each frame. Push the cable in, watch it pop out - a beautiful moment indeed.
PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT
A thick rubber downtube protector deflects debris, while our chainstay protector features thick raised sections to help dampen chain slap noise. And our simple-yet-elegant linkage protectors stop mud and rocks thrown by the tire, keeping your beautiful bike beautiful.
Lifetime Warranty
If it's our fault, we'll fix it. Simple as that.

The Exie USA is a World-Cup winning cross-country race bike that flat out shreds. With a sub 2,000g frame weight and dw-link suspension, it offers a stunning combination of pedaling efficiency and downhill performance. We designed, built, and tested it in our Santa Cruz factory, which is powered by the warm California sunshine.
Race Proven
Jenny Rissveds won the 2024 XCO World Cup Cross Country season open on the Ibis Exie, a bike we quite literally made in our own backyard here in Northern California! In the past two seasons, the Exie has won 1 XCO, 2 XCC races, and been on the podium at races around the world.
Built by US
We build each Exie USA in our Northern California factory. This gives us the utmost control, which enable us to hit remarkable frame strength, stiffness, and weight targets for this frame.
Size Specific Seat Angles
Whether you’re racing short track or on a multi day epic, the Exie’s seat tube angles allows you to harness your strongest muscles, while reducing any potential knee or wrist strain. We’ve also steepened the seat tube angles as the frames get larger, to allow riders with different inseams to achieve the same riding positions.
DW-Link Suspension
Don’t squander a single watt. Our dw-link suspension platform offers incredible climbing efficiency and traction along with plush, downhill-crushing goodness.
Ride More, Wrench Less
We use bushings where it makes sense and bearings where it doesn’t. The IGUS bushings in our lower link are lighter, stiffer, and virtually maintenance free. We’ve also added features like a threaded bottom bracket to help make any future maintenance easy.
Internal Cable Routing
Internal cable routing doesn’t have to be a pain. We’ve added internal tubes to our tubes, no picksets, flashlights, or swear words required.
2.4" Tire Clearance
You can run overbuilt, chunky tires; you can run light, big volume fast tires, but whatever you run, you’re not limited by width.
2x Bottle Clearance
The Exie USA has clearance for two water bottles inside the front triangle on every size frame.
Integrated chain guide
Drop the hammer, not your chain.
Lifetime Warranty
If it’s our fault, we’ll fix it. Simple as that.

KEY FEATURES:
SPLIT PIVOT® REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM:
Split Pivot provides a host of impressive suspension characteristics because the system isolates pedaling forces and braking forces from each other, allowing us to tune and optimize the bike for both independently. The concentric rear axle pivot, in conjunction with precise wheel link, brake link, and control link placement, results in: Excellent bump compliance / Incredible pedaling efficiency / Smooth and predictable braking throughout travel / Maximum traction.
SPLIT PIVOT +
Split Pivot + is our suspension development philosophy that allows riders to swap suspension travel within a single chassis.
PURPOSE-TUNED SUSPENSION
The Blackthorn-specific control link and shock links optimize the frame geometry and kinematics for its suspension travel, delivering a well-rounded, balanced trail feel.
PROGRESSIVE GEOMETRY
Blackthorn is long, low, and slack, with a dash of moderation to preserve pedaling performance. A 64.6-degree head tube angle and short-offset fork feel confident when descending loose, steep trails or blasting through rock gardens. A steep 76.5-degree seat tube angle and consistent cockpit sizing makes for a comfortable pedaling position, while the moderate bottom bracket height provides stability at speed without sacrificing pedaling performance in technical sections. The long front center provides stability in extreme terrain while the short 432 mm chainstays make for nimble handling in tight situations.
FLIP CHIP 2.0
Integrated into the shock link mount, Flip Chip 2.0 allows simple, quick adjustments to bottom bracket height and head tube angle to account for the rider’s personal preference, terrain, or wheel size and tire diameter.
EPS CARBON MAIN TRIANGLE WITH CARBON SEATSTAYS AND ALUMINUM CHAINSTAYS
EPS construction allows for greater manufacturing control, smooth surfacing, a simplified bottom bracket junction, and an integrated shock mount. Carbon fiber material offers improved stiffness, better vibration damping, excellent toughness and weight savings compared to other materials. 6066-T6 aluminum heat-treated chainstays add durability.
TOP TUBE ACCESSORY MOUNTS
Top tube mounts accommodate K-Edge Top Tube Mount for bike computers or the Salsa EXP Series Direct Mount Top Tube Bag.
DOWN TUBE THREE-PACK MOUNTS
Three-Pack mounts on down tube accommodate a large water bottle on the lower pair and a frame-mounted pump bracket on the upper pair.
INTEGRATED REPAIR KIT LOCATION
Located in front of the rear shock in the front triangle, we provide a dedicated place for a small repair kit, tube, or bag of gummies. No more loading up your pockets or strapping the essentials to random spots on the frame and damaging the frame finish. Carbon frames feature an integrated reinforced slot and frame protection. Aluminum frames feature a machined strap slot. The slot is sized to accommodate most 3/4"- to 1"-wide straps. A Salsa Tube Strap is included with each frame (Salsa Tube Straps are for use with tubes only)
ACCOMMODATES A 26 OZ BOTTLE
All Blackthorn sizes accept a standard 26 oz water bottle within the front triangle.
INTERNAL SLEEVED CABLE ROUTING
Internal tubes guide housing through the frame, simplifying setup and maintenance, and creating a clean bike profile.
MOLDED FRAME PROTECTION
Molded rubber down tube, seat tube, chainstay, and seatstay guards protect your frame from impacts and abrasion.
MULLET BUILD COMPATIBILITY
Mullet build compatibility lets riders run a 29" wheel in the front and a 27.5" wheel in the back with minimal impacts to geometry.
CHAIN GUIDE-COMPATIBLE
Blackthorn frames feature ISCG-05 mounts for chain guides (removable on carbon frames).
STEALTH DROPPER POST ROUTING
Compatible with 30.9mm dropper posts for true trail bike performance.

Meet the Ripley, your new best friend for every trail adventure. The award-winning bike has been updated with more travel and slacker geometry, making it even more capable and fun. It rivals the speed of an e-bike uphill while offering snappy, playful performance with 130mm of ultra-efficient dw-link travel. Need to stash your snacks? The Ripley now features internal frame storage for all your stuff. Plus, with expanded size ranges, everyone gets the perfect fit. Whether you’re popping wheelies or conquering climbs, the Ripley is game.
Size Specific Everything
Every rider deserves the same great ride feel, no matter their height or proportions. We use size-specific seat tube angles and suspension kinematics to bring incredible balance and speed to all size riders. Even chainstay length and bottom bracket height are tailored to each frame size.
5 Sizes
We've added a third size in the middle of the bell curve to provide a fit that’s just right. With 80% of our riders falling between 5’5” and 6’0", we introduced a new "Extra-Medium" size. The extra-medium (size 3) now sits in the middle of our size range, while our size five remains the traditional XL.
Flip It
We’ve added more adjustability with a new flip chip - now you can run 29” or 27.5”/29” mixed (MX) wheels on all sizes without compromising the geometry. The Ripley ships with 29” wheels.
DW-Link Suspension
We continue to use the critically acclaimed dw-link suspension platform known for its efficient climbing and excellent downhill performance; it sets the standard for modern mountain bikes.
Our size-specific kinematics make sure every size bike pedals amazing while still keeping things ferociously smooth on challenging trails.
Internal Frame Storage
Get that gear off your back and into your bike with our frame storage system. The latch operates effortlessly, even in cold, muddy conditions while wearing gloves. The door is water-resistant, rattle-free, and robust.
We’ve partnered with Cotopaxi to craft a set of two internal bags for your snacks, tools, or whatever. Cotopaxi is known for high-quality construction and sustainable practices; the bags are crafted from remnants and dead stock, making each bag colorful and unique.
Lifetime Warranty
If it's our fault, we'll fix it. Simple as that.

The HD6 is the evolution of one of the most successful enduro bikes in history. Designed with input from our Enduro World Cup team and building upon our award-winning Ripmo and HD lines, the HD6 features increased travel, a completely redesigned suspension layout, and mixed wheels.
Geometry
The 29" front wheel, bolstered by 180mm of travel, assures stability, whereas the 27.5" rear wheel allows for additional maneuverability. The 165mm of travel skillfully manages any fallout. With a 64-degree head tube angle, a BB height similar to Mojo HD5, and a 435mm chainstay length, the bike maintains an equilibrium between agility and stability.
Five Sizes
In order to place every size rider in the same position over the rear wheel, the HD’s seat tube angles get steeper as frame size increases. With four sizes, this would have resulted in larger jumps in reach, so we added a fifth size. The smaller increments across five sizes means that you can find just the right size. We encourage riders to choose their bike size based on their desired reach and top tube measurements.
Coil Compatible
Our upper link suspension layout is progressive enough to be sensitive off the top, yet supportive enough for the biggest hits. It is also compatible with all coil shocks, for those longer race stages that can tax air shock performance.
DW-Link
The suspension layout may be new, but it’s still DW-Link. The inherent efficiency means you don’t need an overdamped shock to climb well. Less shock damping allows the wheels to stay planted on the ground, providing more traction and that hover-bike feel that our frames are known for. The HD6 climbs with a finesse that defies its enduro race pedigree.
Traction Tune
Our custom tuned front and rear suspension feature extra light, high-speed compression and rebound damping to deliver unparalleled traction. This allows the wheels to flutter through rough terrain like a trophy truck storming through a set of whoops.
Bushings
Tired of buying bearings each season? So were we. That's why we've strategically employed bushings where they're most effective and bearings elsewhere. The IGUS bushings in our lower link are not only lighter and stiffer, they're virtually maintenance-free. We believe so strongly in them, we back them with free lifetime replacement.
Internal Cable Routing
Bikes that look pretty on the outside should look pretty on the inside. We use carbon fiber tubes molded within each frame. Push the cable in, watch it pop out - a beautiful moment indeed.
PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT
A thick rubber downtube protector deflects debris, while our chainstay protector features thick raised sections to help dampen chain slap noise. And our simple-yet-elegant linkage protectors stop mud and rocks thrown by the tire, keeping your beautiful bike beautiful.
Lifetime Warranty
If it's our fault, we'll fix it. Simple as that.
