Description: The Mojo HD is the longer travel bigger brother to the MojoSL and Mojo SL-R. The "HD" as we call it, has 160mm of rear wheel travel, up 20mm from the other Mojos. The head angle is slacker giving better descending that the regular Ibis SL and SLR and is designed to run longer 160mm and 180mm forks.
When we do demo rides, people are usually queuing up to try this bike, and such often end up buying one. The carbon frame offers incredible stiffness and rigidity and yet is competitively light for such a capable bike.
The DW link suspension offers the best attributes of a single pivot bike in the ride..ie. snappy acceleration without the negative affects that you get from single pivot bikes because of excessive chain growth. ( single pivot bikes have a tendency to give a lot of pedal feedback over big bumps and also suspension stiffening when braking hard} . The short links also add to the bikes stiffness, when compared to bikes with long links.
The Santa cruz Nomad carbon is often one of the competitors for this frame. On paper the bikes stack up almost identically with almost identical angles and lengths. Differences large come down to the small nuances between the suspension performance, although these are pretty close in the way they work. We have both bike in stock as demos in large.
Brian Lopes has ridden the HD more than anyone, and IBIS asked for his thoughts on how they should talk about the HD.
"Let people know that this frame, although it looks very similar to the sl, it is a completely different beast when the limits are being pushed. When I am charging down any hill I can feel the differences in every aspect. The angles, stiffness, and that added amount of travel all are huge factors that translate into the ability to ride steeper, rougher, more technical terrain with more ease and confidence. While the regular MOJO is NO whimpy bike, the HD enhances the capabilities of a rider to the next level, especially when pushing the limits." - Brian Lopes
The Frame is rated for a 160 or 180mm fork, that will give you a 67 or 66 degree head angle respectively.
160mm of rear wheel travel.
DW Link Suspension.
26″ Wheels.
Weight for the frame and shock, size large: 6.3 lbs, 2.86Kg.
67 degree head angle with a 160mm fork.
Polycarbonate down tube cable guard.
Chain stay length: 17.125″.
12 x 142mm rear axle.
Post mount magnesium left dropout, carbon right dropout.
Compatible with the new tapered steerer standard: 1 1/8th hidden upper, 1.5 traditional lower as well as regular straight 1 1/8".
Many headsets are available to suit, our favourites are hope or King. The Cane creek angle sets will also work fine if you want an even slacker head angle, although as the bearings are small in these headsets they suffer from shorter bearing life.
2.35″-2.55″ rear tire depending on brand and height of cornering knobs.
Dual row angular contact bearings in the front of the lower link that have less play than standard sealed bearings. Preload adjustment is not necessary. Large 28mm x 15mm x 7mm radial bearings in the rear for stiffness and long wear.
The leverage ratio, like the Mojo and Mojo SL is designed for air shocks. The Mojo HD comes with a 8.5″ x 2.5″ Kashima Fox RP23. A DHX air will work on all but the small size. A coil shock is not offered because the linkage rates weren't designed for it. We lowered the top tube to get slightly better standover than the regular small mojo while having a higher BB because of the longer travel (we managed to retain the DHX air compatibility in 3 of the 4 sizes).
The Bottom Bracket height is 13.8″-14″ depending on tires.
Front derailleur (if you use one) and adjustable seatpost housing (if you use one) run along the top tube.
Links are available ( Limbo chips) to run the bike as a heavy duty 140mm travel bike too.To do this you need a shorter shock. The frame is also available as a 140mm travel frame from stock.
