 Why didn't colored stanchions really catch on? With the way people use colors on their bikes today, you'd think it would be a hit

 What frame is in the third photo? Looks like the front triangle of an Ibis Mojo HD.
  • 1 0
 one of the Ibis frames, not sure which one
  • 1 0
 It's a Mojo SL-R. The SL doesn't offer the direct mount option and on the HD you can switch the shock mount chips,
  • 1 0
 The interesting thing is that we haven't heard a word from Ibis on this. I hope this comes on the HD as well.

 It's a Qu-Ax, I believe its a german company. I almost got one when I was looking for a new one but they were a bit out of budget and rather hard to get ahold of. In the end I got a Nimbus trials uni Smile wwaaaayyy more fun than any mtb imho
