Hi B
Swapping out the 140mm to 150mm is the most common upgrade many Mojo owners have been dealing with.
Although we are talking of 10mm (3/8″) of change which is not a lot, but surely, it seems like a solution to get a smoother ride on faster sections.
There are some things to consider though:
1. Ibis Mojo 4 is truly one of the best bikes in its category (Price/Quality/Travel/Geometry), and it is obviously the most upgraded model from the series you can get. Which means – it is the final, 4th version of the Mojo series. I wouldn’t personally change anything about the bike, besides the compression/rebound on the fork.
2. When swapping out the fork is your first consideration, make sure to check the warranty if that backs up the change.
3. Rest of the bikes by Ibis:
Mojo HD5 – 170/153mm
Ripmo – 160/147mm
Ripley – 130/120mm
If that 150mm is your definite go-to factor, you want to look in for a new air chamber/air shaft assembly that is fairly cheap and easy to fit. We’d recommend asking for more information from your local bike store that deals with MTB service.
Hi Eric
Generally, bike prices are the same for each model. Although the price might differ for varying wheel sizes, the number of gears, etc.
Hi Joe
Thank you for your honest reply. Matter of fact, I had excactly the same issue on the frame size L which turned out to be a bent rear derailleur. Make sure to get the bike assembled correctly, and don’t forget to re-tune the bike after 10-20 miles of easy riding. I upgraded the bent Tourney rear derailleur on my 2020 Trail 8 and it fixed the problem.
Regards,
Sam
