"The SilkTI offers the climbing efficiency of a hardtail and the exceptional steering response Ibis is known for, and the rear end takes the edge off fatigue-inducing small and mid-sized hits. A great choice for rough yet hilly courses.
"I brought my hardtail to the 24 Hours of Tahoe, but for a rough, hilly and long race like that, the SilkTI I borrowed was a much better choice."
