Me and then I bought one.
Love it !!Posted 2 years ago # -
They ride great. Mine was too small and I broke it - twice. Got a DW 5-Spot instead.

Just bought the gf one. She loves it and I'm slightly jealous.
Seriously though - 26lbs with 5.5 inch of travel. Plus it's a great looking bike(IMO) which is always a bonus!

I rode one at a demo day alongside a Mk1 Blur LT and a Mk2 Yeti 575. I bought a Mojo as it was the best of the 3 and IMHO is a perfect all day ride / trail bike. Previous bike was a Mk1 575 and the Mojo is a better overall package and MUCH stiffer.

fancy one for the weight as most of my rides are a couple of hours climb and one big down,would go bombproof and heavy build in the Uk but its taking too much out of me on the climbs here in Canada

heihei how did you break em and what year was it?

Was one of the first painted frames (an 07 I think) and both times developed cracks in the vertical members of the rear triangle. I'm around 180lbs and was doing 4-5' drops on it - something it should have been strong enough for imho.
Ibis were top-notch in replacing them so wouldn't put me off owning another one.

I've got one and like it a lot. I haven't got experience on hundreds of different bikes to compare it but it goes up and down hills well
Take care with the sizing - medium is a little shorter than you'd think. I got a large and I'm 5 foot 11.
Ibis have been very good to deal with in terms of getting advice on sizing, component choice etc.

I demoed one and it was great, but I got a Remedy in the end for around half the price

yeah never fancied one in the Uk due to the price but over here they are only 3700cad for the slx version so really fancy one now

Got mine from hong kong for 70% of the UK price at the time

We'll be putting up a "Second Opinion" review of the Ibis Mojo that we've had for ages online later this week...

Oops. I forgot what day of the week it was. Mojo review will be next week now. Sorry!

I demoed one a while back. It seemed like a really, really good bike but it didn't grab me. I couldn't say what it was, it made me think "this is a very good bike" but not "wow! I want one!". Which is fortunate, given the price.
Other people who want their bikes to feel slightly different to what I like may well experience the wow factor I felt was missing.

I like mine, very good up hill and down dale, rear tyre clearance is not great with Maxxis 2.35 tyres. Cheap from Stif (£1350), but these are 08 bikes so no boost valve shocks etc.

Anybody remember Kirk revolution E stay bikes?...sad really but look so much like them it puts me off!
Posted 2 years ago # -
I have one and so far love it a bit twitcher than my 5 but reaqlly goes up hill and down its excellent. got mine in the stif sale too!!

Absolutely loving mine. Only had it for a month, but is better at climbing and descending than the Heckler it replaced, which is no mean feat.
Now with 2.2 black chilli folding rubber queens run tubeless!

I like it because you can do this on it.

Had mine about 2 years now?
Now has 2009 Talas 150s with QR15.
The only one of my bikes that I'd buy again without hesitation if they were stolen and the insurance paid out.
I'd have full confidence in doing what Ed is doing above on mine now that I know what it can do.
Not without fault though.
Using granny with a wide range can make the chain scrub the bottom of the DW link arm.
I'm on my second rear swing arm after the pivots started eating the carbon rear (trapped grit which was impossible to remove without stripping it)
Mine has developed an annoying squeak which is somewhere in the pivots.
The bearings need replaced after only 2 years.
Has a low bottom bracket, especially with propedal turned off.

That is shocking, especially considering the milage ibis are getting out of their association with Lopes. As much as I like them that would put me off completely.
