Ibis Mojo 2010 Unchanged since 2005, the Carbon Ibis Mojo sports the the DW link suspension in a sleek monocoque design. The smooth lines are the result of the unibody construction which allows the frame to be constructed in one piece with fewer areas of stress in a lighter, stiffer and stylish package. |

This is propably the most accurate and unbiased review of the Mojo I have read. Great Review!
Unchanged since 05, i bet a new one is right around the corner.
Thanks Bikethrasher!
Pro – The new bike should be called Ibis unobtanium.
Thanks for the solid review.
Was this mojo equipped with the Lopes link? Many have suggested that this resolved the flex/deflection issues you are describing.
Great review, Sharon!
Did you have any trouble with chainsuck or pedal strikes?
Hi Isaac, It did have the lopes link.
Rogers – I didn’t get any chainsuck, by pedal strikes, you mean over low terrain? Yes I did. I did comment on the low bottom bracket.
For a good video of lateral flex check out:

Seems like an unbiased,well written review. However,this bike comes alive with a 150 or 160mm fork,reduces the pedal strikes,twitcyness.
FYI, the DW-link is not a link, it is the suspension design.
Thanks for the follow up. I didn’t notice the flex when I had a chance for a quick demo but it was just a few hours and not the kind of riding where you’d really expect to see it. I also can’t claim to be the most discerning rider where detecting flex is concerned. I was also riding a different wheelset, do you think maybe it was the Ibis rear wheel that was flexing rather than the frame?
As far as the 150 mm fork goes, I can second bigrocks impression. The bike was really a lot of fun with the TALAS I was riding opened up all the way.
Then again, the arch isn’t known as a particularly flex rim for the application so that seems like a somewhat unlikely culprit.
