| 'DURABLE' |  | Strengths:
Quite nimble . Smooth going uphill | | Weaknesses:
paint chips, tires that come with bike should be better considering the price of the bike,seat is not the most omfortable | | Overall:
I got mines in a silver grey colour for a 2.400 euros at the end of the season, saving 700euros in Spain ! So, naturally I was enticed , but the shop let me try out the bike. At first it was slippery on the rear, the tires didn't feel right, I had to play around with the brain suspension, but it is one of the best concepts on this bike and the main reason for getting the expert.The avid juicy 7's stop at everything so to speak and I was impressed as I tried some ultimates on Cannondale Scalpel and to be honest I thrashed the brakes in order to see if it would be a good thing to fork out the extra cash, but the 7's are as good, for me anyways. I have been an avid fan of Specialized mtb's over the years going back to '88 with the rockhopper series, I suppose I should be on an S-Works by now, but I was apprehensive about the carbon frame factor, there are those who loathe the idea of carbon, and for obvious reasons, but after reading up and looking into the prospect of owning one despite the drawbacks of chipped paint or the chance of cracking the frame and then what..., I have decided to sell ( and only 'cos I have a Kona stinky as well ! and also in order to raise the cash... )it to get myself an Ibis Mojo which seems to be as good a choice if one does not go for an S-Works carbon pro frame. The downside is of course, that the Ibis doesn't have it's own version of the brain fade sus. But then again, it's elegance and componant spec sheet, depending on what you put on the frame is outstanding, and this brings me to a question. Has any member had or have a a Mojo ? Would you care to share your fantasy with a novice to these pages, Ivwould be mighty greatful... Meanwhile, it's time for some ZZzz's before getting back on the trail |
