I have a few rides on mine. I feel like climbs as well as my Ripley did and descends better so yeah.. 2.6 tires are working out lovely too! 150mm pike was also a solid choice.
I've had mine for 4+ months and love it (came off a Mojo 3 my wife took over) and I've rented/ridden most of the major brands in the last year and upgraded to the M4. IMO positionally I feel more in than on it than on a 29" and It's a solid climber. I average 2-3 rides a week on it, 12+ miles each with over 2K feet of climbing and it's almost as good as my CC bike on the ups and the downs are way more fun... It's not a full blown enduro machine but a great all mountain bike and IMO the Ibis carbon wheel upgrade is worth the money
heya question! Anyone on a hd3 move over to a mojo4? Any thoughts / exp moving over? Would I miss the travel or does the newer geo and suspension kinematics really make the mojo4 shine?
The new Fox 34 on this bike is amazing! You don’t need a 35 for anything. Stanchion diameter is just a number, and doesn’t always translate to stiffness.
The 2022 Fox 34 is stiff and very responsive, and a far better performing shock than the outdated Pike.
Until the 2023 Pike is out a while and well proven, get a Fox 34 Grip 2.
Was going to buy a frame but picked up a Mojo 4 Deore with Carbon S35’s for 25% off. Couldn’t pass it up, especially with the 5010 going Mullet and not being sure if the next Mojo will go mullet as well.
Finished making it my dream build. Just need to install the RideWrap. It’s weighing in at 28.44 lbs

DVO Diamond would be great on the Mojo 4. Much better performance than a Pike as well. Depending on your riding area and style, the Sapphire D1 would also be great. Lighter, and likely more suited to the Mojo. Diamond is kind of overkill. They just put the Pike on some because RS doesn’t have a 34 mm chassis in a high end fork, and I think Fox 34 were real limited availability for a while. DVO is a much better company with excellent support for riders. RS is a corporate mess! Just my 2 cents
