"Gravel race tires keep growing in size, which means the frames and forks have to grow with them. While offering very little in terms of actual detail, Moots had a new gravel race bike on display that clearly takes that to heart. The unnamed bike was shown with 700c x 55mm Vittoria Terreno gravel tires and still offered plenty of clearance. The current Moots CRD tops out at 45mm for tire width, meaning this bike would be a big leap in clearance."
"While the CRD relies on their MOD stem for internal routing, it looks like Moots will be combining internal routing with their ti stems as well with a top cap for the Chris King Aeroset that bypasses the stem. More on this bike as soon as we get it. On the adventure side of things, Moots has a new dropbar bike built around a 100mm travel suspension fork and 29 x 2.4″ tires."
"Currently without a name, we do know that the bike will be a limited edition sold only as a complete bike for now. Expect the bike to be equipped similarly to what is shown here with a 1x drivetrain and an estimated price of $10k. That price will include the Topo finish as the only finish option. There will likely be a frame bag option for the bike as well."
Moots revealed an unnamed gravel race bike capable of accommodating 700c x 55mm Vittoria Terreno tires, offering significantly more clearance than the current CRD's 45mm limit. The new gravel model appears to combine internal routing with titanium stems using a Chris King Aeroset top cap to bypass the stem. Moots also introduced an unnamed adventure dropbar bike built around a 100mm travel suspension fork and 29 x 2.4″ tires. The adventure bike will be a limited-edition complete build, likely featuring a 1x drivetrain, Topo-only finish, an estimated $10,000 price, and a probable frame bag option.
