In Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where gravel ribbons through mountains and roads carve into sky-high passes, the spirit of cycling lives and breathes. For Moots, that’s not just marketing, it’s home. Every titanium frame begins and ends here, where the terrain itself shapes design, performance, and purpose.
For more than 40 years, Moots has built its reputation on a singular belief: The hard way is the right way. Moots crafts bikes that outlast trends, weather, and riders’ limits. Titanium is their identity. It’s the heart of every Routt, Vamoots, and Baxter that leaves the shop, hand-welded by craftspeople who ride the same terrain that tests their work.
The Titanium Difference
Moots doesn’t chase new materials or fleeting technologies. Instead, they’ve spent three decades mastering titanium, refining welds, wall thicknesses, and geometry to deliver a ride that balances suppleness and stiffness like nothing else. Titanium’s natural vibration damping smooths out rough gravel and broken roads, while its resilience means these frames don’t fatigue over time. The longer you ride a Moots, the better it feels.
The Routt CRD: Gravel Refined
For riders who thrive on endless horizons and unpredictable surfaces, the Routt CRD is the pinnacle of performance. It’s the culmination of 10 years of gravel evolution, blending race-ready geometry with the comfort and control Moots is famous for. The RSL (Race Super Light) tube set sheds weight without compromise, while 3D-printed dropouts and brake mounts create a back end that feels laser-aligned and brutally efficient. Whether you’re chasing podiums or exploring dirt backroads, the Routt CRD’s integrated routing, massive tire clearance, and sleek aesthetic make it the gravel dream bike: pure speed, built for real-world adventure.
The Vamoots CRD: Road, Perfected
On smooth pavement, where every watt and every corner counts, Moots brings the same obsessive craftsmanship to the road. The Vamoots CRD (Complete Race Design) is the most refined expression of their road lineage. Using double-butted RSL tubing and a fully integrated cockpit, it delivers clean lines, aerodynamic efficiency, and the kind of ride quality that feels alive beneath you.
The 3D-printed dropouts save weight and add stiffness, while the pencil-thin seat stays preserve that signature Moots smoothness. Internal brake routing keeps everything elegant, while the T47 bottom bracket anchors the system with durability and simplicity. The result is a modern titanium masterpiece: a race-ready bike with timeless feel and unmatched longevity. At Moots, every welder, engineer, and finisher is a cyclist first. They test ride prototypes on their lunch breaks and push new designs after hours. Their partnerships with top suppliers—many decades long—ensure each component, from tubing to hardware, meets the same uncompromising standards.
