Product Description

We’ve subtracted a lot of weight by making the frame out of carbon fiber. For you purists out there, sorry. For you weight weenies out there, you’re welcome. We used to say “Steel is real”. Now we say “Steel is real…heavy”. Geometry is classic cross. We’ve designed the frame around and mated it to a nice lightweight Easton EC90 X Cross fork. Canti mounts are back AND so is the hand job cable stop, after a many year vacation from duty. The ‘Lugi also features strong and svelte compression molded carbon dropouts not too unlike those found on the Silk SL.

Strengths:    Light, looks good. With a moderate build (campy Centuar, 32 spoke wheels and all aluminum parts it is around 17lbs)

Weaknesses:    Not crazy about down tube cables and the chain stay bb junction can collect mud.

Bottom Line:   
Had the old steel one which I loved. Sadly it was stolen. I really like the new carbon model. I was afraid I would break it(it feels really light to me) but so far so good. I have done a few local CX races and it has held up well.

Strengths:    Weight and handling. This bike is light and quick but has a really nice, neutral feel to it, something of an Ibis signature I'd say.

Weaknesses:    Hmmmm... Cost? But its really not that expensive when you consider what you're getting. Not sure how I feel about the tires yet, but that has everything to do with me, the terrain, pressure etc.

Bottom Line:   
Just took delivery of a 2009 Hakka. It is a beautiful frame. Love the color and the HandJob. Went with the stock Ibis CX parts pick which is a mix of Ultegra and Ibis stock bits. It all seems well thought out and no real surprises. Haven't had a ton of miles on it yet, but the few I have, have been super satisfying. The thing just wants to go fast.

Ibis Hakkalugi or Ridley X-Night?
