IBIS HAKKA MX (frame set | size 530) | Full Carbon All-Road Bike Fusing Road Speed and Gravel Freedom
The IBIS all-road bike achieves a high-level balance between the desire for nimble speed and the urge to venture onto unpaved roads.
The IBIS "HAKKA MX" is a full carbon frameset that inherits the lineage of the "HAKKA LUGI," which achieved success in the Cyclocross World Championships Masters class, while proposing a new riding style that spans road, cyclocross, and gravel.
Unlike the "heavy-duty gravel" trend of recent years, the HAKKA MX is designed with an emphasis on agility and speed. Its lightweight carbon monocoque frame and ENVE CX DISC fork provide sharp acceleration, while its low center of gravity offers stable handling.
It cruises lightly on paved roads like a road bike, then seamlessly transitions onto gravel side roads, offering true freedom. With high tire clearance accommodating up to 700x40c or 27.5x2.1, you can enjoy a variety of setups depending on your intended use.
Furthermore, it fully incorporates modern standards such as a T47 threaded BB, Di2 compatibility, and flat mount disc brakes. Playful details, like the seat stay adorned with IBIS's traditional "hand" design, add a touch that goes beyond mere performance.

While many recent gravel bikes prioritize load capacity and stability, the HAKKA MX is a frame that places great importance on the "joy of nimble riding."
It feels incredibly light, and cruising on paved roads is genuinely pleasant. Yet, even when entering dirt, there's little anxiety, striking an exquisite balance between road-like speed and gravel freedom.
With meticulous component choices like the T47 BB and ENVE fork, there's also the joy of building it up.
And for those drawn to IBIS's characteristic "hand" design and brand heritage, I believe this frame offers a "sense of ownership satisfaction" that goes beyond performance alone.
💬 STAFF REVIEW
However, whether a passionate cycling enthusiast truly desires something is a different matter.
The HAKKA MX possesses a unique aura that strongly captivates that sentiment.
There's the brand heritage of IBIS, a name that resonates with long-time MTB fans, and the playful spirit symbolized by the "hand" on the seat stay.
Furthermore, it inherits the serious performance pedigree of CX world champion "HAKKA LUGI."
Beyond that, its all-road-like agility, distinct from today's heavy gravel bikes, is a major draw.
I believe this is a bike packed with "reasons to desire it," going beyond mere performance.
