Titanium specialist Moots has unveiled the latest addition to its Race Super Light (RSL) line up with the new Routt RSL. Designed to go anywhere, Moots says the new Routt RSL is most comfortable on broken, dirt and gravel roads, and rock strewn double track.

Moots Routt RSL highlights

  • Moots 'cross/gravel fork with flat mount and thru-axle
  • 3D printed rear dropout
  • 142x12 thru-axle rear-end spacing
  • 140 flat mount disc brake mount
  • 68mm English threaded bottom bracket
  • 38mm tyre clearance

Moots Routt RSL what to expect

Incorporating 3D printed titanium dropouts with a flat mount disc brake mount, a 142x12 thru-axle and Moots’ RSL internally butted tube set, the Steamboat Springs based brand says it should make for a lightweight, stiff and durable frame. The Routt RSL also features a new Moots gravel/'cross full carbon fork with 12mm thru-axle, flat mount and recessed fender mounts.

All angles, tube lengths, tube diameters and wall thicknesses are size-selected in an effort to create a uniform ride quality throughout the range

As the new Routt RSL is meant for rough roads it's no surprise to see that the frame can handle up to 38c rubber, but we’re pleased to see a threaded bottom bracket shell too.

“We’re excited to add the Routt RSL to our squad of gravel bikes offering our customers a high performance mixed terrain model,” said Moots Marketing Manager, Jon Cariveau. “The Routt RSL’s longer top tube and lower front end place the rider in a more aggressive position, delivering a very precise handling ride.”
