Full test: November 2007 (Click here to order this issue)

Highlights: The frame and swingarm are molded from high-modulus T700 carbon fiber--some of the best material available. Up front, the head tube area seems large enough to accept the OnePointFive oversized headset system. Ibis, however, chose the beefy head tube to reinforce the highly loaded front section of the frame, and the Mojo uses an aluminum insert that further bolsters the standard, 1 1/8-inch headset interface.

Best quote: "If the Mojo Carbon was an ugly duckling, all day epic riders, or any accomplished trail rider would still fall in love with it before they rode three miles beyond the trailhead. The fact that the Ibis is drop-dead beautiful probably means that wedding bells will be ringing well before that third mile."

Bottom line: Aggressive, all-mountain riders will not find the Mojo Carbon's cross-country-oriented handling suitable. If your idea of a perfect day in the mountains if to put away the pads and put in the miles--you will find that the Mojo Carbon will be ready for anything on the trail.
