Ibis Mojo

Overall grade: A+

The Ibis Mojo is a revolution in mountain bikes. Just as it was beginning to look like a rider was going to need a different bike for all occasions here came the Mojo. Put away the cross country racer, the all mountain and the trail bikes and pop for a new Mojo. With the Mojo you get all you need for almost every riding situation. Need something light weight, the Mojo. Need something with big travel for that technical single track, the Mojo. Need a bike for an adventure race, the Mojo. Did I mention the Mojo.

Not since the advent of suspension on mountain bikes has there been a better leap forward. Not only does the Mojo look like the coolest bike on the planet and weigh next to nothing but you can get this frame for a song. Maybe a couple of songs, but suffice it to say that just because this is a carbon frame Ibis did not put on a carbon price tag. You can increase your carbon footprint without going bankrupt.

The bike I took out on demo was set up with all Shimano XT gear, good stuff but nothing to write home about. However, this bike rode like a $7000 snooty bike with all the highest of high end components. The Fox fork (32 Float RLC) and rear shock (Float RP23) were excellent. Neither required any additional tuning other than what we did at the LBS. I did not even use the prodedal on the rear shock maybe because the DW-link suspension really works. All in all, I had no issues whatsoever with the Mojo on a 30+ mile ride. Buy one immediately! No, buy two!! Just make sure on them is the Mojo SL.
