T-Bob Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Now if they made a new mojo AF, I'd be all over it. They've actually tweaked this quite a lot to this one over the carbon. Mine can't run a coil as it's way to linear and this has been altered specifically for that and ships build with a range of coils. Rear suspension has pushed out a bit so that there is a wide range of rear shocks available (210x55) if you want to experiment. Head angle has slackened to 64.9, seat angle at 77 and the other numbers get pretty close to something like the Transition Sentinel which is a plow, hulk smash, mini DH rig. The carbon one has been run by the EWS team since it launched (mostly with the DPX2 shock over the X2) so it's not some long legged trail machine. I'd say this is the burlier, harder hitting, shore riding, ginger step brother. As oner review said 'it's just perfect for peddling somewhere and smashing the downs in a perfect huck, flat, pray way and then peddling back up'. stefmeister and Hairy 2
Hairy Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Would be cool - but as mentioned before - logistics to get to the top with shuttles are an issue. Not to mention no one in SA willing to cough up the dough to cover the hosting fee https://enduro-mtb.com/en/ibis-ripmo-af/?fbclid=IwAR0Na-MF98-veBrrv7F_yeu38okTQ0jIok3MzbMTSxqJmxcXXuv42YzvWsg Aluminium RIPMO, for those that want one of the highest rated bikes of 2019, but not in caaaaaaabin. would love to know what this is going to sell for landed in SA!

Headshot Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Met a guy on a carbon Ripmo this weekend. Said he loved it but very different to previous more enduro style bikes he'd owned. This AF one sounds more like best of both worlds. That said I'd still have an HD4. T-Bob 1
