Nice, but it has stupidly, lazily designed, short, same-sized chainstays across the larger sizes.First Look: Ibis' Updated Mojo HD5 Has a Different Approach to Suspension - Pinkbike

Ibis say no to Mullet, would drop head angle to 62 and raise BB by 8mm - I think, was mentioned in the PB comments.Would mullet 10/10.
Hold on to your hat @mooreyTan wall.
Thought that shit fad had passed.
Run a 150mm fork and 29er front wheel & tyre and you've changed the A2C 2mm. I reckon it'd be fine.Ibis say no to Mullet, would drop head angle to 62 and raise BB by 8mm - I think, was mentioned in the PB comments.
I am more excited about Ibis adding a little guard to cover the lower link and stop debris getting in.
Not sure what to make of their traction tune, will wait for reviews. That poo green is growing on me, looks less poo the more I look at it!
I hope they’re light.flashy combo of white tread on a natural skinwall casing that accented you brightly colored 90s MTB & even brighter purple ano components.
I am also quite tall and inhabit the personal space of an XL sized HD4 frequently.Nice, but it has stupidly, lazily designed, short, same-sized chainstays across the larger sizes.
To me nothing says CBF than this. And yet Ibis, Pivot and so many other brands make much of their design and engineering ethos.
It's almost as if because it's behind the rider it's of no importance.
Maybe it only matters to me as I'm quite tall..
I get that, and my Remedy has 435mm length chainstays and rides very well. If choosing again I'd look more critically at this though.The other reason is that I'd imagine having 4 carbon moulds for each front triangle size AND 4 matching moulds for the rear subframe would get biblically expensive, especially given the increasingly rapid frame redesigns mean you're only getting about 18-24 months out of a mould before it's time to bin it and start again.
You've remembered well.I had the impression it was actually more expensive to do it in the US, but it allowed them to experiment with different materials and lay-up techniques. I only briefly read about it so may be a little off the mark though.
