Looks a lot like a V-10...maybe it a bit too much.

I mean an Ibis Mojo.

 

[Iwan Kemp]

It's not gone yet. Have two guys joining me on a ride this weekend to try before they buy.

I don't know yet. The Mojo is such an accomplished, well-rounded bike. Will be a tough one.

 

I still have Mojo though. Thanks for asking.

That is damn nice...

Sjooo.. man Santacruze is hitting it hard huh.. They have now Revamped The entire range.. and ghosh are they getting it right. Im yet to read a riders review on the carbon blur xc but by looking at the track record so far, Its going to be killer.

 

I think this bike here replaces the VP free (previous 8'' bike)

 

The colour also doesnt really work for me, but the Totem does...Darn I would Hate to know how fast one can go down mountains on this puppy.

 

I have to say wel done santazruise. Now please swop my old blur for the new one.

 

Crow, If you are considering  replacing the Mojo, would you try the new blur LT ??

 

I know Its not as light. but possibly the same kind of Intended use?

 

I just love the geometry of  my bike, Are they all that good? Santa C which one do you have?

[Iwan Kemp]

I have ridden a Blur LT and a Heckler and a Superlight and a Nomad and a Blur XC...anyone have a V-10 or Bullit I can try!?

 

He he. You have Blur LT right? SC have managed to pull out the stops for 09. All their new frames are getting great reviews.

 

Just to 100% clear" I'm not replacing my Mojo cause I'm unhappy or cause I think there's a better bike in it's class out there. Geo is perfect, but a lot of bikes are close. It's the looks and the DW-link that puts it in a class of it's own.
