Here is Mountain Biking UK’s Doddy talking us through the latest version of the Ibis Mojo HD, which is the bigger brother to the Mojo SL trail bike.
Coming in two options, 140mm and 160mm travel, the Mojo HD is fitted with a Kashima coated Fox Float RP23 rear shock, Formula The One brakes and Shimano Deore XT transmission. Full build (XL size) weighs in at 31lb/14.1kg. You can check out the bike in action in the video below as well as reading the full first ride review in issue 272 of MBUK, in shops from tomorrow (Wednesday 14 December). .
Fizik Gobi 00 saddle review (published by BikeRadar.com)
The 00 is the lightest ever version of Fizik?s made-for-mountain biking, multi-award-winning Gobi model. At 149g it shaves 50g off the carbon-railed Gobi XM, 80g off the Kium-railed Gobi XM and 106g off the steel-railed version.
Fizik claim this crash diet hasn?t detracted from the comfort of the saddle but we feel the carbon hull is stiffer than the other models and less inclined to ?ex in rough conditions, making you rely on the padding for comfort. We think the non-carbon hull, carbon-railed XM version is more comfortable at the expense of 50g. .
Testing the Power2Max and Look KeO Power pedals (published by BikeRadar.com)
I’m currently suffering from a surfeit of bike related gadgets, the latest being a Power2Max crank-based power meter and a set of Look KeO Power pedals. Both devices measure your power output and, being a bit of a power meter geek, I’ve been asked to test them.
It’s going to take some time to complete the full reviews so I thought I’d blog about how I’m going about it and any technical problems that I encounter. If anyone has any tips or experience with these power meters, I’d welcome your comments. I’ll update the blog as I go..
