I've always been an avid racer (boardercross, enduro, rally, XC, DH, I could go on...) but for the last few years I've been chained to a cube trapped in the rat race leaving very little time for the activities I love. Earlier this year I was browsing through one of our local bike shops and was overjoyed to see that one of my favorite companies was back in business (I had a long relationship with a sweet little Trials Comp, which after 12 years of hard use was sold to an enthusiast in Germany).
After one look (and test ride) on a Mojo Carbon, I knew I had to have one. In the 2 months since purchasing the bike I've managed to get out on 3-5 rides a week. I've ridden everything from rigid bikes from Specialized to full on DH rigs from Tomac and Intense, but none have been half as mush fun to ride as my Mojo.
The bike is just as fast going uphill as it is down, it's so confidence inspiring and so much fun to ride that instead of breaking out my DH rig for last weekend's race at Northstar I just threw some burly rims on the Mojo.
The bike did exceptionally well, the quick handling allowed me to the hit my lines through the fastest rock gardens and the stability of the bike allowed me to hold any line I chose. At no point did I feel as if the bike was holding me back (high altitude and my overall fitness level did that). At the end of the day I finished 4th, a disappointing finish BUT hands down this was the most enjoyable race I've ever participated in. I just love riding this bike!
This bike has returned me to my natural element. So, I just want to say thank you to Hans and the rest of the Ibis team for creating one hell of a bike!
