Bike Mag's HD5 Review

The HD5 was one of the most pop­u­lar bikes in the test. Review­er Kristin Butch­er called it her favorite bike of the test:

When I threw a leg over the Ibis Mojo HD5, it was the Goldilocks bike — just right whether I was scream­ing down­hill (lit­er­al­ly, at times), lean­ing into cor­ners or going uphill. I don’t look at a 170/153-mil­lime­ter-trav­el bike and think, I’ma go climb stuff on that!” After a few thou­sand feet up and down, the only thing that sur­pris­es me about the HD5 is how lit­tle it can’t do.”

Here’s our favorite bit from the full review:

The updates on the Mojo HD5 seemed unique­ly aimed at pay­ing div­i­dends in fun. Per­haps even more so than those on any of this year’s oth­er bikes… At the end of the day, trends will come and go, but bikes designed to be fun will always be in style.“
