Product Description
Built for serious cross country MTB Racing, the MootoX RSL was developed with the same principles that guided the design of our Vamoots RSL; from the ground up, design and build the finest performing 29” titanium cross country race bike available with zero compromise to the longstanding Moots quality and lifetime durability. It’s quick responsiveness and decisive handling comes from key features like an oversized head tube for zero-stack headsets, an oversized Press Fit 30 bottom bracket for more immediate power transfer in the drive line and an oversized butted seat tube to provide increased stiffness and strength in tandem with a 30.9 seat post. Additionally, the formed down tube provides increased fork clearance while the formed chain stays and re-designed rear triangle offer increased tire clearance while reducing weight. All of the features of the MootoX RSL seamlessly come together to create an exceptionally fast and nimble cross country race bike.
44mm Head tube: inset headset

Strengths: flawless handling, stiff and fast.Bottom Line: Carbon bikes are fads and only last 1-2 years if you really ride them. I sold my A9C after every scandium frame cracked. I wasn't going to wait for the carbon to fail so I bought timeless mountain bike. The Moots is and amazing ride.

Strengths: Amazing climber, comfortable and confident descender. Frame balance and geometry (not twitchy/nervous or slow), weight, durability, craftsmenship, incorporation of new technologies (PF BB30, tapered headtube). Incredibly balanced.Weaknesses: Have not found any though some may say price. I went through two scandium hardtail 29ers and spent the same. Could have gone Moots and been good to go.Bottom Line: Extremely balanced result of Moots doing the 29er hardtail thing for 20 years. You always hear about the welds, and with good reason, but the ride is exceptional. Very stiff titanium bike with the material's trademark "liveliness." Extremely light and responsive with tapered head tube and PF BB30. My best attempt to describe "liveliness" is that the material somehow responds to shifts in body weight that help you make transitions. Decided to go Ti after a stint with Scandium and am extremely happy. The Moots crew are extremely helpful and love their products. Some may claim that I'm trying to justify my purchase. I don't believe I need to as the frame speaks for itself. This is my XC race, enduro, and all day epic bike and it has done extremely well for me in the past 3 months.
