Ibis Mojo HD Special Blend Complete Bike

Product Descriptions

Backcountry Description: 2005 marked the return of a mountain bike legendIbis. The return was celebrated with Ibis' new all-carbon masterpiecethe Mojo. The Mojo (now called the Mojo SL) is a stiff, lightweight XC marvel with 140mm of travel, front and rear. With the signing of gravity king Brian Lopes, it was apparent that the Mojo was going to have to share the stable with a beefier, longer-travel little brother. Thus, the Mojo HD was born. The HD uses the same all-carbon reecipe and similar swoopy curves as its older brother, but it's a complete re-design. Built for greater stability on the descent, the HD has a slack (67) head tube and short chainstays. the result is a lightweight downhill scream-machine that can handle big hits and drops but still has the legs for the climb. The Mojo HD shares more than just good looks with the Mojo SL. It also relies on the dw-link to soak up the bumps. The position of the linkages creates resistance in the suspension to the rearward transfer of mass and subsequent compression (squat) of the rear end as you stomp the pedals and accelerate. This anti-squat trait means that the dw-link rear suspension allows the use of a more lightly damped shock. Instead of heavy compression damping and a reliance on the ProPedal lever, the linkage creates the pedaling platform. So even on a long travel bike like the Mojo HD, dw-link makes it pedal like it's a race bike. The more lightly damped shock means you'll experience the best bump sensitivity, traction, and control in all trail situations whether stomping out of a berm, coasting across off-camber roots, or churning through braking bumps. The Mojo HD is built entirely from carbon fiber save for alloy inserts at the headtube, bottom bracket, and pivot locations. The monocoque construction assures that smooth transitions in the material occur at the tube junctions so that it is as strong, as stiff, and as light as possible.
