(obviously not as exaggerated, of course) I mean...sure you can ride an Ibis down some gnarly stuff. If you have enough money to replace it every run, you can ride it anywhere you want.
Yes, it's Lopes; and showing him on one is just to prove a point. I think the Mojo SL is one of the most dialed, versatile frames out there and I would not hesitate owning one in an instant. It will be interesting to hear long-term (4-5 year) reports from owners. Hope MX keeps us updated periodically on his.

3 lbs. or so is the reason. I have hefted one of Alex's frames; it's a feather. Bike in the build is an honest 37 lbs. When you figure sub-40 has become the new Grail for DH rigs; shaving another 3 — safely — is mind-bending.
