A little mountain bike manufacturer based in Santa Cruz, CA, has had big dreams- to build carbon fiber frames here in the United States- and to christen the carbon facility they built from the ground up, the first model to be publicly available from that project is the new Exie. The Exie is a 100mm travel 29er frame, designed to be used with a 120mm 29er fork, and the frame with shock weighs a mere 4 pounds. That’s under 2kg!

The intended use of this bike is cross country racing and light weight trail riding. I have never ridden a modern cross country bike, and the smallest trail bike I currently ride is another Ibis- the Ripley AF, though it has a full 20mm more travel on either end.
The Exie was going to be a whole new experience. I figured what better chance than this to do “more with less”, and to spend nearly a week on the road with my moto and this here bicycle.
A couple months back, I picked up a 2014 Suzuki VSTROM 1000, which is a total “dad motorcycle”, as it’s considered an “ADV” bike, and if there’s one thing I love, it’s a spontaneous adventure with limited preparation, some flexible goals, and bicycles somehow involved.
