Ibis Oso HD frame set Kodiak Gold

Description

The Ibis Oso HD frameset in Kodiak Gold is a full-suspension electric mountain bike in the enduro category, designed for building a high-performance e-MTB. It targets experienced riders who want to choose the frame, motor, and suspension to match the terrain and their riding style. This is a frameset with a focus on modern trail and enduro use.

Frame and geometry

At its core is a carbon composite frame designed to fully harness the power of an e-drive in demanding terrain. The Ibis Oso HD frameset integrates the Bosch Performance Line CX motor, Generation 5, and is built to handle high loads on descents. The suspension is built around a Fox Factory Float X2 shock in 230 × 65 mm. The Kodiak Gold colorway is aimed at builds where the frame is the main visual statement.

Components

Drivetrain: The frameset is ready for the Bosch Performance Line CX, Generation 5 motor. The exact shifting group, number of gears, cassette, and bottom bracket are chosen based on the build.

Brakes: The frameset is designed for modern disc brakes on e-MTBs. The specific manufacturer and rotor diameter depend on the chosen build.

Wheels and tires: The Oso HD is a platform for an enduro e-MTB build with an emphasis on wheel strength. The specific wheel size, rims, hubs, and tires are selected according to the intended build.

Cockpit: The cockpit is chosen based on the preferred reach and handlebar width. The frame is designed to use a dropper seatpost for better control of the bike’s center of gravity in terrain.

Ride characteristics

The combination of a carbon frame and the Fox Float X2 shock delivers confident handling at speed in rough terrain. The Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 5 drive supports smooth power delivery on technical trail climbs. The frame platform is designed for stability on descents and support through compressions. Overall ride feel depends on the choice of fork, wheels, and brakes in the build.

Who it’s for

The Ibis Oso HD frameset makes sense for riders building a custom e-enduro bike and who want a carbon frame paired with a Bosch motor. It’s well suited to regular riding on trails, enduro tracks, and longer technical climbs with motor assistance. Compared to complete bikes, it gives you greater control over the choice of drivetrain, wheels, and brakes.
