Here's what Ibis say about
this frame...
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. The Mojo SL is a result of our own refinements and utilization of
some new technologies that have recently become availalble to us.
Differences between the
Mojo and Mojo SL are as follows:
The Mojo SL uses a higher modulus higher strength carbon fiber layup. This
way we can use less material and get comparable strength and stiffness.
The SL also features compression molded carbon fiber dropouts, compared to
aluminum on the Mojo Carbon.
The headcups and seat tube insert on the SL are also carbon (they're
aluminun on the Mojo Carbon).
We also use Titanium fasteners (rather than steel) in the Mojo SL, saving
a few more grams.
If you add the optional DT Swiss XR Carbon shock, you'll save even a bit
more.
All these things add up to a weight savings of about .65 pounds under the
Mojo Carbon's weight.
Features of the Mojo SL:
- 5.2-5.3 Pound Frame/swingarm/rear
shock (size medium)
- Lopes Link pre-installed
- Ultra high modulus fiber enhanced
layup
- Carbon fiber head cups
- Carbon fiber dropouts with stainless
steel sheath
- Carbon fiber seat tube insert
- 6-4 Ti fasteners and shock pin
- Matte Clear features special
rubberized paint (durable, easy to clean)
- Carbon monocoque frame and swing arm
- 5.5" (140mm) rear wheel travel
- DW-Link Suspension
- Forged and anodized links (now
available in designer colors)
- Easy to service pivots and bearings
The MojoSL with the pimp daddy WTF group
weighs in right about TWENTY THREE POUNDS. Yes, you're reading it right,
we've now got a 5.5" travel All Mountain or XC bike that weighs 23lbs
(Euros, that's a hair over 10Kg!). And we're not putting any stupid parts
on there, parts that you're just going to take off immediately.
