My almost new Mojo, medium frame. Only a few rides old, built up from parts off my SC Heckler.

Big thanks to Matt at P/cycles for putting it together and listening to my constant questioning and incessant demands.

... and a big thanks to the forestry owner at Woodhill bikepark who stuck grazing cattle on some of the tracks where they have left no trail untouched by large piles of tihs!

Wouldn't waste the extra $1k on the SL model... that's the price of a decent set of wheels!

Nice. I'm interested in how the DHX-5 goes in it (as an alternative to the stock RP-23)

Having had stylies mojo around for several weeks, the sandy colour grew on me. That said, I get all sweaty thinking about the black rubberised paint on the SL.

Course not, mine is not shiny. And anyway, my Mojo replaced a frame 3.5 years old Smile Smile

Very pretty bike that, and they ride sort of exceptionally well too !!!

Call it an understatement Smile

The SL is a lot stiffer and a little lighter, but the normal Mojo would be just fine, I am sure.

Can you fit the shock in rotated 180 degrees, so the stickers are the right way up? Beautiful bike in any case...

Nope, shock won't fit the other way. Doesn't really bother me - as long as it does the job.
Bike weighs 30lb (13.6kg). Planning to lighten it up with a change of wheels and smaller brake rotors.
The DHXair definately feels more plush compared to the RP23. Had to get some sort of internal bumper fitted by Blueshark as the 06 shock had 5mm more travel so back wheel hit the Rr derailleur cable. Seems to work fine now.
It feels like a lighter bike than it is. Also climbs better with the Fox36R than the Heckler did.
Not quite sure how the SL model is stiffer than the standard frame - they look identical to me, apart from anodised linkages and paint finish?
