Ibis Mojo HDR 650B Special Blend Complete Mountain Bike Product Details DescriptionThe secretโ€™s out.The Ibis Mojo HDR is a legendary trail slayer among riders in the know. You probably were aware of that already, but if youโ€™ve been holding off due to sticker shock, wait no more. Youโ€™re finally able to get the latest version, the HDR 650B Complete Mountain Bike, with a Special Blend build kit that maximizes value, without giving up a bit of shredability. With X-Fusion suspension, a Shimano build kit, and Stanโ€™s NoTubes wheels, itโ€™s ready to go toe-to-toe with the best bikes around. But you knew that already โ€” it is a Mojo HDR, after all. The Mojo HD is something of a modern classic, which is why Ibis chose not to mess with the geometry or the suspension when giving it the HDR update. Accordingly, youโ€™ll find the same DW-Link suspension design, which relies on parallel links in order to generate 130mm of plush, yet firm travel. And if that sounds like a paradox, let us assure you, it isnโ€™t. Dave Weagle is a bright guy, and as the namesake and designer of the DW-Link, he has a history of building some of the best performing suspension bikes on the planet. What this means for the HDR is that the suspension is designed to provide anti-squat in response to rider input. So, rather than relying on elevated amounts of compression damping to provide a firm feel, the suspension design does that for you. And since that allows for a lighter compression tune, the rear wheel is free to move out of the way of impacts. The result is a bike that smoothes out the roughest of trails, while remaining firm when you get on the pedals. Like its predecessor, the HDRโ€™s front and rear triangles are built of carbon fiber, and they employ a process that Ibis has been steadily refining since the first Mojo hit the scene in 2005. Those refinements have enabled Ibis to shave roughly half a pound from the HD without sacrificing any strength or stiffness. And thatโ€™s important, since the HDR is intended to be rallied down the fastest, roughest trails around. Youโ€™ll also find the same head tube insert and stiff aluminum links, so durability wonโ€™t be a concern. Additionally, the HDR repurposes the same 12x142mm Maxle quick-release thru-axle, and the mixed tapered head tube carries over as well. Ibisโ€™ Special Blend builds have long been revered for providing one of the very best dollar-to-shred ratios in the industry, and this yearโ€™s build is no exception. X-Fusion handles the suspension duties, with an 02 RLX rear shock, and a Slant RL fork. While itโ€™s a fairly new player in the suspension arena, X-Fusion has quickly proven itself a worthy contender by offering suspension components that easily rival much more expensive alternatives. The drivetrain and brakesets come from Shimano, with the value-packed Deore group doing most of the heavy lifting โ€” the exception being a clutch-equipped SLX rear derailleur. The exception to the Shimano party is a Race Face Respond double chainring crankset. Ibis supplies the cockpit, while it rolls on a Stanโ€™s NoTubes Rapid wheelset, wrapped in Pacenti Neo-Moto tires. The Ibis Mojo HDR 650B Special Blend Complete Mountain Bike is available in four sizes from Small to X-Large and in the colors Cobra Blue and Reverse Vitamin P.
