The Mojo name has been in Ibis’ catalog since it was a high-end hardtail way back in 1994, but we’re more familiar with it as an efficient mid-travel trail bike meant to do a bit of everything. You’re looking at the fourth generation Mojo that, no surprises, is the longest and slackest yet, but Ibis says that the intentions remain the same: To be that fun-loving “The all-mountain play bike.”
Ibis’ recipe for fun cake includes 27.5″ wheels – that’s right, this is a new trail bike that’s not a 29er – and 130mm of travel via a dw-link suspension layout. There’s a 140mm fork up front, and my SLX test bike came with optional carbon wheels and handlebar that bumps the price from $5,399 to $6,267 USD. All that adds up to 28lb 9oz, including the Maxxis DHF and Dissector control tires we installed.
