Ibis Releases Limited Edition Team 31 Exie Frames

The Ibis Cycles Exie USA is now available in a limited edition Mercury Silver finish with gold team-issue graphics. These expertly crafted Exie USA frames are handmade in our solar-powered Northern California facility, retail for $4,499.99, and are available now.

I saw this bike at Sea Otter a few months back. It had a gorgeous paint scheme and a fantastic frameset. Their internal program needs to add a Senior Citizen Ambassador!

Team 31 is an elite UCI World Cup Cross Country Team created with a unique vision.

Rather than perpetuating the pressurized structure of elite racing focused on podiums and social media followers, their goal is to model fun, mental and physical health, and influence others positively.

Traditionally, we’ve showcased the Exie USA frames in their raw carbon form to highlight their quality right out of the mold, but now, for the first time, we’re introducing painted frames.

Painting normally requires extensive surface preparation, often involving time-consuming finishing work and filler, which adds significant weight, labor, and cost.

To foster positive outdoor experiences, the athletes from Team 31 meet up and ride with local kids after every race.

Our manufacturing site also acts as a research and development center, allowing us to test new ideas. An outcome of this research was the utilization of new materials that further improved the surface quality of our frames, allowing us to offer painted frames without increasing the finishing work or adding weight.

Our painted frames debut with this limited-edition model. It features automotive-grade paint known for its durability and lightweight properties and is adorned with Limited Edition Team 31 decals.

Available through Ibis Dealers.
