Sorry, You are right. I can't type in Thai, and yes the translator suck, I'll watch it next time, thanks.
OK then let's try it again.
Main difference between the Mojo SL and HD is the Geometry and weight. SL is about a pound lighter. HD has stronger and stiffer linkage and frame built. It also has more tire clearance that would fit all the way up to 650b wheel size. The combination of the lower bb height and slacker head angle makes for railing corners, and downhill stability, not to mention the design also give lower stand over height it makes push body position over the rear wheel very easy.
The benefit of HD
You can get 4 bikes in one. HD can be transform into
26" 140mm bike
26" 160mm bike
650b 140mm bike
650b 160mm bike
If you have 2 forks, 2 shocks, and 2 wheelset
Ibis DW link also has different characteristic than other Dual mini link like VPP, or Maestro when accelerate the Bottom bracket would not sink or drop. Some bike designs are known to have this trade like Specialized Faux-bar, FSR it changes the bb height as you accelerate.
Original Poster (OP) คุณ idia was comparing 2001 GT iDrive with Single Pivot Santa Cruz superlight. I didn't really understand the term "นุ่มมากๆ" on his GT, and "เคยลอง ขี่ santacruz super lite นิดเดียว รู้สึกว่า มันแข็งๆ ไม่นุ่ม เหมือน GT i drive
เลย ไม่แน่ใจว่า ระบบ อื่นๆ มันจะเป็นเหมือน santacruz หรือเปล่า แต่ คันที่ลอง ก็ไม่ได้ set สำหรับผม หรอกนะ
ยิ่งไม่แน่ใจไปอีกว่า frame ราคาตั้งสองหมื่นกว่า ทำไมมันขี่แล้ว ออก กระด้างไม่นุ่มเลย
จริงๆแล้ว เป็นอย่างไรกันแน่ครับ"
First of all, it's not VPP, and also he said so himself the bike was not properly set up for his weight and riding style, so may be he should give it another chance at it.
Early GT iDrive's Geometry was different than the current Geometry trend. It was common to have a bike with 3" gravel in the front and 5 in the rear, now most full suspension geometry promote longer travel in the front than the back. Switching to a newer design geometry would be more balance.
Most suspension designs of today are very good, best thing to do is to take a test ride a bike that properly set up for you. Remember one thing, Not all DW link bikes ride the same. Ibis would ride different than the Turner and Pivot. Each company that licensed the DW link has their own goal they want to achieve. Your 5 spot would ride more AM than my Mojo, but less than HD
