4. Ibis Mojo 3
While most companies are making bikes that are compatible with 27.5+ and 29″ wheels, Ibis did something a little different with their new Mojo 3 trail bike. You can’t run 29″ wheels on it, but you can run any 27.5″ tire up to 2.8″ wide. Basically, Ibis figured out that once you factor in the sag of a 2.8″ tire, the BB height is identical to a Mojo with 27.5×2.3″ tires. No matter what tire width you choose, the Mojo 3 is a capable trail bike.
