Ibis Cycles has announced its new DV9 carbon hardtail, offered with two distinct build kits.
Compared to its previous hardtail, the reach on the DV9 grew by 20-24mm depending on size.
Ibis has also slackened the head tube to 67.4 degrees with a 120mm fork and 68.5 degrees with a 100mm fork.
The company said these numbers give the bike a confident feel at speed, with compromising light, and crisp handling.
The DV9 also has a 100mm Fox Stepcast fork with remote lockout and 2.25 inch fast guy tyres, or full suspension rigs with a 120mm Fox Rhythm 34 and 2.6 inch tyres.
The brand said: "The DV9 is our lightweight carbon do-anything, go-anywhere hardtail.
"With down-country geometry and massive tyre clearance, you can rip a training loop Friday, race Saturday, and roost Sunday."
