Ibis Mojo HD 140 All Mountain Full Suspension
Product DescriptionEagle-eyed scrutinizers of the Mojo HD have noticed the two removable tabs for the upper shock mount on the Mojo HD frame. A few of you have even surmised that this means we have some tricks up our sleeves as to what you can do with the Mojo HD and shocks and travel and such. You surmisers are right, we do have a couple of tricks up our sleeves. One is the the Mojo HD 140. By simply changing out the upper shock mounts (we're calling them Limbo Chips) and substituting a shock from the Mojo or Mojo SL (7.875" x 2" travel vs 8.5" x 2.5" for the HD), travel is reduced to 140mm, opening a new world of possibilities.

from Raleigh, NC Date Reviewed: February 7, 2011 Strengths: Here's a laundry list of strengths of this bike: - Dwlink, dwlink, dwlink. This suspension rocks. - Carbon fiber, light and strong and stuff - Long travel feeling on the downhills, taut on the uphills - Front and rear thru-axles - Near-perfect geometry for do-all riding - Ibis customer service is top notch - Stock build kit comes w/formula brakes and stan's wheels, AWESOME. - Carbon fiber cable guides and anodized parts are cool! - 1.5" tapered steerer tube is cool looking, as is the metal head badge Weaknesses: Um... it's kinda pricey. You can buy the SLX kit bike for $3300, sure, but that's not exactly the best spec and you'll not enjoy the lightweight gear with that build kit. Which is kind of a bummer. There are no ISCG tabs, which is not a big deal for me but some people think that sucks. There was a long wait for the black color - I had to wait 2 months. YMMV. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Warrior Creek, Dark Mountain, anything in Bend Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $4700.00 Purchased At: Cycling Spoken Here Similar Products Used: 2006 Rocky Mountain Element 30, 2009 Stumpjumper Expert Carbon 29er hardtail, 2008 Stumpjumper FSR pro, 2010 Trek Fuel EX8, 2010 Trek Remedy 9.9, 1996 Trek 930 hardtail (yeargh!) Bike Setup: Stock XT build w/Talas 150/130 upgrade, Joplin 4R, Cane Creek 110 headset, Easton Haven carbon bars/stem swapped out for the stock stuff, Time ATAC pedals. 27.8 lbs loaded for bear, including pedals and stan's in the tires.

from Valencia, CA, USA Date Reviewed: February 6, 2011 Strengths: Coming off a Mojo SL and a Blur LT carbon, I was hoping to get the stiffness of the SC Blur Carbon (impressive stiffness) with the efficient pedaling of the SL coupled with slightly slacker angles. The HD hit the spot. For aggressive trail riding where you've got to turn the pedals to earn your turns, the HD is super. A fantastic compromise between pedaling platform and plushness. It pedals more efficiently and with less bob than the Blur LTc and seems to be almost as efficient as the Mojo SL. The stiffness is on the same level as the Blut LTc. Of course, the Mojo design is a classic as well with it's organic curves that look like they came straight from Maranello. Weaknesses: Of course, it's pricey buy you knew that already. It's also heavier than the Blur LTc and the Mojo HD--but again this is expected. That's why there is an SL. I could not locate a good set-up guide for the bike and mine didn't come with one. The back brake is tricky until you realize that removing the upper suspension link and rear shock mount is the key. Finally, the RP23 doesn't seem ideal for this application, but I haven't had enough time to dial in the settings, so I'll reserve final judgement and try to report back. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Too many to list Duration Product Used: 3 months Purchased At: Uranium Cycles Similar Products Used: Blur LT Carbon, Mojo SL, Ellsworth Epiphany Bike Setup: Medium HD 140, Easton Haven, mainly XT drivetrain, KS i950r dropper, 2011 Talas 150 forks, Schwalbe, Formula brakes (fantastic)
