Our mid-travel secret.

Here's a dirty little secret that the industry meta narrative often seems to elide while hyping the latest deep-travel enduro sled: most cyclists will never encounter terrain that's gnarly enough to actually warrant the long, low, slack, 6in+ bikes that are currently trending. Ibis is one of the few manufacturers to acknowledge this fact, and the Mojo 3 Carbon X01 Complete Mountain Bike is the California-based manufacturer's bold assertion that sometimes less is more. Whether you call it the Mojo HD3's baby brother or the heir apparent to the Mojo SL-R, the Mojo 3 represents a more versatile take on today's slacked out, mid-travel enduro craze.


The Mojo 3 tempers the extremes that make the HD3 so good in apocalyptic terrain in favor of a chassis that's lighter, more agile, and still capable enough to handle everything this side of shuttled gravity loops. The 140mm Pike fork kicks the head tube out to 66.8 degrees — an angle you'll recognize from virtually every six-inch enduro bike, ever. Despite that slack front end and the bike's long, low posture, the Boost spacing allowed Ibis to slam the rear wheel up, shortening the chainstays to a stubby 16.73in while still leaving enough clearance for tires up to 2.8in in diameter. The benefits of the slack front end, Boost front and rear axles, and short stays add up to dual-threat versatility. We call it efficient climbing and line-sticking confidence whether dicing terrain or running roughshod over it; Ibis calls it "playful."


The Mojo 3's spirited kick starts with the shock tune and DW-Link suspension. Ibis tuned the shock so its initial stroke stays firm off the top but is still plush enough to keep the rear wheel glued across moderate lumps and while navigating switchbacks at climbing speeds. Ibis describes the shock's tuned ramp-up characteristics as "robust," which gives the kind of big-hit confidence that can often be the key element in determining which side of the ragged edge you find yourself on. If you swap the included 2.35in Nobby Nics for a pair of tubby 2.8in tires, the five-inch travel feels around a full inch deeper than it actually is. Regardless of the tires you choose to run, the shock tune and suspension keep the bottom bracket height at the sag point the same.


The frame itself is what you'd expect from Ibis: a full carbon monocoque affair that incorporates the construction pedigree of the HD3 but at a drastic weight savings, shedding a claimed 0.4lbs compared to the enduro brute. The tapered head tube further increases stiffness up front, which makes for yet better tracking across terrain, and the inclusion of Boost rear spacing let Ibis slam the rear wheel up for the above-mentioned stubby stays while still leaving room for tubby tires and the option of including a front derailleur. Of course, Ibis has taken the liberty of spec'ing the Mojo 3 Carbon X01 build with a blend of SRAM kit that forgoes that component in favor of a one-by set up, but it's nice to know you have the option in case the need ever arises.
