Ibis launches new Mojo SL-R at Sea Otter Classic

Ibis has created a new niche for themselves with their versatile trail bike the Mojo, but it was missing some key features that are now standard on most trail bikes. The new Mojo SL-R solves that problem by providing consumers a Mojo but with new performance enhancing upgrades needed in a burly trail bike.

It is amazing how versatile some mountain bikes have truly become. Ibis's new Mojo SL-R is a top-notch example of just how adaptable a 5.5" travel can be. Featuring a tapered headtube, 142mm rear thru-axle, BB92 bottom bracket, and all new carbon molding technology, the SL-R is the cutting edge for trail bikes.  Built with lightweight components it weighs in at around 22.4 pounds and pedals up hill as well as most XC bikes.

We hope to get some more time on one in the near future but here is a sneak peek at the SL-R.

• 140mm rear wheel travel, dw-link suspension • Carbon fiber monocoque frame and swingarm • Kashima coated Fox Float RP23 with Adaptive Logic Boost Valve technology comes as standard equipment • Tapered head tube, makes the bike feel very close in stiffness to a HD 140 • Cane Creek AngleSet compatible, so the head angle can go down to 67.5º • Mojo HD style cable routing with new molded carbon cable stops and provisions for cable-actuated adjustable seat posts • Compatible with the Mojo HD downtube cable rock guard • The new direct mount front derailleur provides increased compatibility with 2 x 10 drivetrains • BB92/Press GXP style integrated BB is lighter and stiffer and better for molding • Carbon fiber post-mount rear brake mounts • 142mm Maxle rear axle provides high axle stiffness with QR ease of wheel removal and installation • The new chain suck plate has more coverage • Geometry is unchanged from the Mojo SL but now has AngleSet compatibility for head angle adjustability • Titanium fasteners abound • Links interchangeable with Mojo SL links • Best of all, target weight for the frame is sub 5 pounds (2250g) for a large matte clear with Kashima RP23 • Complete bike with XTR in size large is 22.4 lbs.

The Slightly Longer of It-Mills Peak!

This year, the raffle proceeds are specifically targeting the almost finished and totally excellent Mills Peak Trail, in the Lakes Basin above Downieville. Proceeds from the last Ibis raffle were used to buy an excavator that helped build most of this trail. It’s now 90% done and did we mention it is excellent? Oh yes we did. If we do say so ourselves, this is a trail that you must see, our crack team of trail studs has created a work of art disguised as a trail. It is really fun to ride.

Why Ibis Supports SBTS

The health of the environment, the local community, and the economy of that local community are all tied together. Preservation of the environment in the area can lead to greater economic opportunities for the local community. The Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship provides local employment and educational outreach to the local community. By employing Plumas and Sierra County residents (up to 15 full time trail builders) and maintaining the existing trail system, the Stewardship can sustain long-term recreational tourism, which in turn would benefit local families and businesses

Why You Should Buy Not One But Many Raffle Tickets

It’s simple math, the more tickets you buy, the more chances you have to win this Ibis Mojo SL-R. And more importantly, the more feet/meters/cubits/miles/light years of trails will get built as a result of your generosity.

How This Raffle Works

At the end of the raffle, each unique $5 donation will entered in the raffle. If you donate $20, you get four entries. We then go over to the very cool random.org website and enter in all the ticket numbers, whereby random.org selects one at random and WE HAVE OURSELVES A WINNER!

The Winner will be contacted by Ibis and we’ll get crackin’ on building your bike. You get to choose the color and size of the bike.
