I bought this very bike. Two years later, I still absolutely love it. Haven't changed a thing either.

[@mtbeliever5833]

I just bought it. Can’t wait.

Awesome review, shocked this doesn’t have more attention.

Cracking review... You got yourself a new subscriber 🚴‍♀️

[@elwoodkotil2538]

Liked your info and delivery! Subscribed and I ski also (Volkl fan). How about a Ripmo AF review?

[@smurfgudrun]

Great review. Thanks!

This bike is so interesting! I think the real sweet spot would be if they made an aluminum mojo 3! I have the carbon version and I think it’s the perfect mix of everything

that sign brings back memories of the 401

[@admiralmachine]

That was excellent, thank you!

I've got the ripmo deore build. Runs great. Dump the noisy stock vented brake pads for non vented and replace the flexy stem.

Great review. I recommended this bike to a friend on a budget and he bought one. We called the local dealer and they actually had one in his XL size! One thing I am confused about is why the SLX version is $800 more than the Deore. Isn't the price difference between those components about $130? The Deore model is a killer value.

[@ErichVonCartmann]

Most likely drivetrain alone is only $130 more, but all the other parts are another $700 more.

Just ride the bike. Feel it!

Where you made this record??? Saying that these mountains look epic is like saying nothing.

[@nicks8026]

He says it in the video. Crested Butte, which is in Colorado USA.

[@Gleeleeglee]

He has SLX with him but keeps saying its a Deore.
