Endurance test performance: 3,126 km | 30,860 altitude metres
We saw what can happen without a talisman when Dr Evil stole Austin Powers' mojo. My lucky charm didn't give me any sexual attraction. But thanks to its bright yellow carbon frame and 160 millimetres of suspension travel, it gave me all the more confidence. I wanted my dream bike to be able to climb without a gondola, but above all to rock downhill. For me, a carbon frame still sounded a bit like shaved legs, tight cycling shorts and narrow tyres.
The Mojo proved me wrong. As soon as it was unpacked, the high-end enduro bike attracted even the spoilt glances of my bike colleagues. The equipment was impressive: complete XT, Crank Brothers wheels and Fox suspension. The test bike arrived in January.
I set off for my first ride on the Isar trails in snow and ice. The result: I immediately went for a long ride - fortunately without any scratches on the carbon frame. Only the Formula was screaming loudly! Only very meticulous fine-tuning brought improvement. The tubeless setup was also not very popular with me - the air was constantly coming out. With tubes in the tyres, everything was fine. There wasn't much else to complain about on over 3000 test kilometres. Long, monotonous uphill sections were possible with the Mojo, thanks to the platform, but not necessarily the bike's strong point. The suspension responded sensitively and absorbed a lot of the downhill. It provided a big grin on every trail.
ConclusionWhether in Bolzano or on the Isar trails after work, the Mojo is a real lucky charm. The only fly in the ointment is the hefty price tag.
