Ibis are similar in price and range to Diamondback. The Mojo was first launched in and was praised for its innovation at the time. The Mojo 3 is a full-suspension mountain bike, designed to be nimble and fun to ride even on super-rocky, bumpy trails. The Mojo series is known for being stylish, and the Mojo 3 frame is distinctive especially in the bright red color option — some people love it just for that alone.
The frame of the Mojo 3 is made from carbon fiber. There are four sizes to choose from, from small right through to x-large, and all sizes have low standover heights with shortened seat tubes. It comes in bright red or black. The wheels are The hubs are Ibis x15mm Boost front and x12mm Boost rear , with an optional upgrade of Industry Nine Hydra hubs only if you also upgrade the rims.
Users find the wheels to be light but tough, well suited to harsh dips in the trail. The Mojo 3 looks great — it is designed to be sleek and attractive, with internal cable routing to keep the frame looking neat.
It has a polycarbonate downtube protector to deflect debris and linkage protectors to keep your bike looking neat even in muddy terrain. Most users find the Mojo 3 to be a tough, robust little bike that is nimble and playful to ride, whilst still being tough enough to cope with steep descents. It can handle fairly steep terrain thanks to the great suspension. I t is ideal for those wanting to have fun on the trail — but because it is light and nimble, it is also not the most stable bike out there, which means it may be better suited for more experienced riders.
The rear end can be a bit temperamental, and if you hit a sudden bump, you might find yourself further forward over the fork than you would like. Ibis offers a 7-year warranty against defects for the frame and rims — you have to register your bike when you purchase it straight away.
Obviously, the price varies depending upon whether you go for upgrades or not, but you can always upgrade later if you want to stick to a tighter budget. Users praise the Mojo 3 and the Mojo series in general for being super-fun to ride. They like how well the suspension works in dealing with harsh dips and bumps in the trail, and they were surprised to see how well it copes with steep drops.

The word Mojo refers to a magic spell or charm, and more broadly - a magical power. Since its introduction in , the Mojo has delivered a wicked combination of fun and all-mountain prowess.
So were we. The Mojo weighs a svelte 5. Yes, the max size oval chainring we recommend is a 30T. Up against those two, it's the Stumpy that consistently felt the most capable on Squamish's rocky trails, although I suspect a Trance X with passive suspension would have made it close.
The Mojo comes across as the most 'trail bike' of them all in that it'll do anything you point it at, but it's closer to the edge and gets knocked around a bit more when things are fast and rough. If you're the kind of rider whose ass needs saving on a regular basis, I'm not convinced this is the bike for you.
But if you're more concerned about having a good time than finding the limits of yourself or your bike, or your local trail inspires more flow than fear, the mm-travel Mojo will make sense. And especially so if you're the rider who uses every lip, root, and root to get into the air.
Timed Testing. Clipless Crocs Are a Thing Now views. JakeEPooh Nov 28, at The Field Tests are awesome. Thank you so much for providing such excellent content, PinkBike. PB reviews are awesome. I will say Ibis is the worst though. Had a bike on order Full Deposit since the second week of March, before covid really hit, and they said it was a two week lead time.
Six empty promises later they finally said we will make sure you get it by the first week of December. Got a call last week and they said It will be March of A good product ruined by terrible support. Wouldn't trust a thing these guys tell you. WasatchEnduro Nov 30, at Yeah there's really no visibility into how dealers jockey for position for inventory and this year in general has been a clusterfk on the supply chain side for lots of brands.
Hopefully you didn't sell your old whip. That's too bad you got the runaround though. There are other fish in the sea though. WasatchEnduro : Yeah the shop kept getting it from the company on new lead times. This has gone up to the top at Ibis and they promised a early December delivery.
It is unfortunate how the company kept coming back with promises and breaking them. Not sure why the original comment go downvoted.
I am telling my experience of the shop calling at the time of purchase and Ibis said "we have it in stock and it can be shipped within the next two weeks. This is a cautionary comment for those who may be buying an Ibis as this will likely happen to you too. Simply put I emailed Ibis and Scott got back to me right away. I guess they had lots of people working from home and didn't have it all ironed out?
They should have at least given you a frame but from what I heard parts availability is Spring or summer next year even from big boys like Sram. BentonRidesBikes Dec 3, at Gave up in July and bought an sb instead BentonRidesBikes : This story sounds all to familiar. Ibis it terrible. Placed the order at that point and paid the full amount. Today I still don't have a bike.
I a lot of BS how they got themselves to this point and a number of empty promises from the Ibis staff. Glad to hear you got your order filled but to me Ibis is terrible. I can allocated a few ibis mojo4 around me no problem. SunsPSD Nov 28, at Not even joking, while watching this Mojo video a targeted advert popped up saying "Protect your Dental Practice from Frivolous Lawsuits" or something like that.
That made me laugh. Why is everyone bagging on Shimano brakes bite point. If it's a con for this review, then how come PB doesn't list it as a con on all the other bike reviews they do for bikes with Shimano brakes. Just saying. Loggerman Nov 28, at Short list of cons and just needed something for that list is my guess. PB reviews have brought this up a lot. They even mentioned it in the last podcast if I remember right. This is why test should be conducted with the exact same components.
I get this is not done because they are not reviewing the frame by itself, but the conplete bikes as they are sold which is fine. However, issues with components should be aknowledged as problems of the specific bike reviewed only if they are traceable back to the bike brand.
Wandering bite point for example is a "con" only if it's due to cheaper manifacturing for spec part. Is this the case? Are shimano brakes problematic only when they are stock on bikes because brand xxx wants xtr brakes but is not willing to spend too much? Hard to know really. I don't know is shimano brakes are actually bad, it was just for example.
Korbi Nov 28, at Below Threshold show comment. SimbaandHiggins Nov 28, at They literally bring it up every time in a review that has Shimano brakes. Kaz staded in the most recent PB podcast that he wished every bike just came specced with Codes. Allen82 Nov 28, at I think i must be the only one to prefer Shimano to Sram brakes.
LukeDaws Nov 28, at Skilled or unskilled They even came on hard once when I just went through a compression without touching them. That led to a crash and the final straw. After generations of shimano brakes I swapped to hope about 4 years ago and given the ongoing issues have no intention of going back.
Still dedicated to shimano drive though! Xenon Nov 28, at That's for you. I like to push my riding to my limits most days and if my brakes aren't performing as well as they should that could end badly. I'm also fed up with inconsistent bite point on my SLX brakes BenPea Nov 28, at LukeDaws : how is this possible?
Do the hoses get compressed or deformed somehow leading to a change in system volume? If so, why is that specific to Shimano? Or is there a component in there that's deforming elastically and causing tiny variations in volume from one pull to the next? I don't get it. CircusMaximus Nov 28, at But if you have experienced it - it can be really annoying. No more XT brakes for me. My last two sets of Shimano brakes were awful.
Bite point was jumping around all over the place. We've been hearing about this issue since the beginning of time. Has anyone actually tried to figure out what is causing it? Does something in the mechanism not return to its start position properly or something? Pcurt27 Nov 28, at JohanG Nov 28, at I've had a couple Shimano brakes with the wandering bite issue. After going through the bleed procedure, I simply throw them away and buy a new set. Perhaps Sram is more tolerant if there is a tiny bit of air in the system?
Just a thought. I still think stock mojo brakes are better than the guide 2s, which feel great the first half of a run followed by completely not working on the bottom half of a run. Two sets in a row for me and well documented by others. No amount of bleeding by me or local shops could fix the issue. LukeDaws : some of the most skilled and most picky riders ride shimano brakes. You really think Minnaar, Bruni, Vergier, and other would keep that sponsorship if the brakes were as bad as pinkbike editors make them seem?
Allegedly the bite point has been moving forever, so it's not like there was ample opportunity to renew contracts. As you said, skilled or not, a moving bite point should be a deal breaker, so for the most picky and also skilled, it should be a literal deal breaker, except evidence points to it really not being a thing.
BenPea : I heard Shimano was originally a North American company but had to move overseas due to lawsuits over wandering-bite-point and was once attacked in my bed by a 'pair' of Saints so I guess it didn't happen to me CircusMaximus. Camstyn Nov 28, at LukeDaws : And I always swap sram brakes for the amazing shimano????
I doubt the point is actually moving, but the servo action might be exacerbating hands getting tired and then relaxing and getting strong again between long downhills and climbs. Used Shimano brakes forever. Latest set of XT's now 12 months old and no issues. Love the instant power, with firm bite point.
My Jeffsey came with Guide RSC's which latest 6 months before the seals went on the front caliper and the rear suffered uneven piston movement. BenPea : Shimano doesn't anodize the inner bore of the master cylinder after machining it. This, coupled with the off-center push of the ServoWave link, leads to the piston ovalizing it, or in some extreme cases, scoring deep gouges there. The seals are unable to do their job, fluid goes past them, and bingo, your lever goes to the bar.
But this bike has new brakes. So the bite point goes deeper and never comes back due to the fluid being gone forever? Or is it fluctuating back and forth in some cases temperature-related issue? May have to do further research..
BenPea : the fluid goes back and forth, remember the master cylinder has a timing port and an overflow port connecting it to the reservoir. So instead of the seal going beyond the timing port and closing the circuit, the fluid goes past the seal and returns to the reservoir.
Sometimes a couple of fast pumps on the lever are enough to restore the seal's ability to do its job, but when you're panic grabbing the brakes it's not something you would to instinctively. The top tier models have metallic pistons in there, which aggravate the situation. Deores for instance seem to be less prone to the suffer from the dreaded bite point wandering, but they have plastic pistons in their MCs.
I know this doesn't happen on all their brakes XT brakes are everywhere here , so who the f knows? Solorider13 Nov 28, at Below Threshold show comment. Everything on their bikes is hand fitted and setup by some of the best mechanics in the world.
Your experience may vary. I have had 5 sets of XT brakes and have only had the wandering bite point on my latest bike. I could not get them to work correctly and got a replacement caliper. Works okay now but does not feel like the pre XT's. I am not a good enough rider to explain the difference. Dtwillow Nov 28, at Has anyone tried dealing with Shimano on this; will they do anything? My Slx breaks on my Ripley are all over the map and it really sucks. It might need 1 mm of pull or 50, who knows?
They also sound like a truck down shifting on the highway when wet. Any advice? Solorider13 : You can use two syringes with Shimano. Dtwillow : initially Shimano would send out a warranty replacement at the first mention of wandering bite point. Unfortunately corporate changed the script at some point from "sorry, we'll send you new brakes" to "we haven't heard of this, contact your dealer". The wandering bite point is a real thing for so many consumers.
It sucks. Allen82 : I take it you've never owned codes. Alexh Nov 28, at Allen82 : In real word I think a lot of riders, here in my area almost every bike from xc to dh is with Shimano brakes or Formula. But I'm still far out their price bracket. Korbi Nov 29, at Camstyn : almost. Highly doubt it. Yeah, they're assembled and tuned by some of the best, but that doesn't change anything if the parts themselves are allegedly no good, as is being stated. And except for suspension internals and maybe some custom parts for fit, the pros are pretty much riding what can be bought by us.
Shimano is too perfection driven to allow that bad of a system out. And you saying a replacement caliper helped it completely reverses the others in this thread who claim it's lever driven issues, as well as the fact that pinkbike has been bitching since before So how does swapping to a new one fix that?
Also they can't just swap in a new one at any time, they don't carry infinite spares. If it were as bad as pinkbike likes to make it out to be, they'd need to carry dozens of brakes, which just doesn't happen. And it can't be set up, because people claim it happens right after a "perfect bleed", and while the pro mechanics are obviously great at doing bleeds, they can't really do anything extra to a brake internals besides that.
Glenngineer Nov 29, at Solorider13 : Not sure why you're getting hate for this, but the two syringe method applied to Shimano mtb brakes gets fantastic results. I just built a bike with s, rear brake had the wonderful wandering bite point. A thorough dual syringe bleed and it's rock solid.
Shimano road brakes are different, and the funnel method works better, even if it's a hassle. CircusMaximus Nov 29, at Glenngineer : the problem is it will return. As there's still discounting and pre-owned, and getting what you want is meaningful, I'm spending. Mountains here are mostly one-finger anyway. Will go Italian on complementary bike to complete historical tour of axis of evil majors, funds permitting. They're hard to come by down here. LukeDaws Nov 29, at I really struggled with them at first because shimano when they worked are so powerful.
Over time though I started to really appreciate the modulation of hope and being more balanced in breaking. LukeDaws : I agree. Sums them up just right. You do get used to them in the end.
Ps- there's a test idea that could be pretty interesting. No lie. No exaggeration. Tried brand new XT levers, Zee levers, Deore levers. Was tired of going into a manual and having to cross my fingers before braking.
That said, I doubt that servo wave is the culprit, as it should produce lower off-center forces than brakes with a direct connection between the lever and mc piston. It seems more likely that there is an issue between the hardness of the MC and a harder piston. Given that there seems to be a mix of brakes that never work and brake that work their entire lifetime, it seems that there might be an assembly issue.
Do you have photos of the MC scoring you could share. Most of the time it's just the MC bore getting ovalized thought. But every single model from SLXs and up do suffer from this phenomenon. Another possible cause are micro cracks developing in the calliper's ceramic pots because of repetitive thermal stress. Or maybe Shimano simply sucks at reaming inner bores and both their MC and calliper pistons are unable to seal properly All in all, I know the ovalization of the master cylinder is measurable after the wandering bite point happens.
The scored walls point to a non concentric piston sliding. Why would a micro-leaky caliper cause wandering bite point? If fluid is very very slowly leaving the system, it would just be refilled from the res until the res ran dry then you'd just have squishy brakes. However, people claim the wandering happens even right after a "perfect bleed" Pinkbike poll: would you rather upgrade your kids' rides to lightly used SLX or above brakes, or have Mike Levy babysit them?
Suppose he didn't experience w-b-p for this review, and is only parroting as a public safety warning something he heard from someone more knowledgeable, but is correct anyway.
There's plenty of testimony right here, and it doesn't sound like it's coming from agents or fanatics of SRAM, Hope, etc. Look on the bright side: other brakes may develop problems too.
Allen82 : I to prefer shimano. I just advance the pads closer to the rotor to eliminate the issue. Allen82 Nov 30, at But ridden bikes with them. I find them vague. If that makes sense. I think Ive grown to like the bite of Shimano's and use my fingers to modulate rather than the brake it self. BenPea Dec 3, at Put a BB7 on the front in when I moved to the Alps.
