For 2008 Ibis have
brought out the Ibis Mojo SL, a really light and oh
so good looking carbon 5.5 inch travel bike. How did
they come up with this you may ask, well the story
goes
"Our
brains were hurting after spending the 1900+ hours
of cad and engineering time developing the Mojo, so
we took a little bit of time off. It wasn’t a lot of
time-maybe a weekend-and we already were thinking
about ways to improve it. That’s how we are. Fast
forward more than a year and way more than a
thousand Mojos later and we present to you the
MojoSL. Let’s get right down to it, because our
brains are starting to hurt again."
Built up this bike is
supposed to come in at around 10kg! That is for a
5.5" all mountain or XC bike! We have yet to ride
one, but the Ibis Mojo was such a hit that this one
can only be better, because it is now lighter.
This 2008 Mojo is
specced with WTF components, that is "Way too
feathery" if you were wondering.

Specifications
With the release of
the Mojo Carbon, we got out our Weight Weenie gram
scale and started to go to work on shaving precious
grams from the already feathery SLX group.
