IN BRIEF
On 24 September Moots unveiled a new version of its Routt titanium gravel bike, designed around a 50 mm tyre with clearance for up to 57 mm. The frame gets UDH dropouts machined by the brand and a redesigned carbon fork whose D-shaped steerer routes the brake hoses through the titanium stem. The Routt is listed from $5,499 in the United States, as a frameset or a complete bike. The RSL version, with double-butted titanium tubing, becomes a frame option and arrives in early 2027.

The Moots Routt has been the brand’s gravel bike since 2013. For its new generation, the frame builder from Steamboat Springs, Colorado, has redesigned it around much wider tyres and a cleaner front end, without giving up titanium or the threaded bottom bracket.
A Moots Routt built for 57 mm tyres
According to the official product page, the Routt is designed around a 50 mm tyre and accepts up to 57 mm, while leaving room for a 48-tooth single chainring. To achieve this, Moots reworked the rear of the frame around a new 3D-printed chainstay yoke, reports The Radavist.
The rear dropouts move to the UDH standard; the brand specifies that they are machined at its Steamboat factory. The bottom bracket remains threaded BSA 68, which Moots presents as easy to maintain. The official product page states that the Routt is designed for electronic drivetrains, with mudguard eyelets as standard and top rack mounts as an option.
A carbon fork with integrated hoses
Up front, the Moots carbon fork has been redesigned. Its D-shaped steerer lets the brake hoses run inside the brand’s titanium stem. Handlebar and stem remain two separate parts: Moots does not impose a one-piece cockpit.
Two frames, one Routt
According to The Radavist, the standard Routt uses straight-gauge 3/2.5 titanium tubing. The RSL variant is no longer a separate model but a premium frame option: its double-butted titanium tubes aim to make the bike lighter and livelier under effort, according to The Radavist. The official product page lists this option for early 2027.
The Routt is offered as a frameset or a complete bike, with several Moots builds. As of 28 September, the official product page listed a starting price of $5,499 in the United States and gave no price in euros. Like the brand’s other titanium frames, it is covered by a limited lifetime warranty.
