It has been a while since we got to test a Moots, but at the 2022 SBT GRVL race in Steamboat Springs, CO, we got to catch up with the Moots team and ride the beautiful Routt RSL. Between the facility tour, where every frame is handmade, to the extensive weekend full of great conversation, we got a lot of insight. It is without a doubt that the Moots team is passionate about bikes and obsesses over every detail. While we didn’t get to see the Vamoots CRD in the factory being built, we did get a little hint that the newest Moots would be road-focused, and it’s even better than we imagined.

THE VAMOOTS CRD

Smooth pavement, painted lines, swooping turns and speed are what is at the core of road cycling. This modern-day road bike is built for enjoying the open road. Pure pavement riding where the only varying surface is up, down, left, and right. Road riding is about speed, smoothness, and the feeling that you could ride all day. The new Vamoots CRD captures what lies at the heart of a dedicated road bike.

The Vamoots CRD (complete road design) is the new pinnacle of the Vamoots road line. The CRD screams performance with the legendary double-butted RSL tube set for a light, crisp ride. Followed by the latest and most refined 3D printed dropouts that save weight, add stiffness at the rear wheel and offer perfect brake caliper alignment. Finished off with pencil-thin seat stays for the renowned Moots ride quality. By incorporating an all-new integrated cock-pit with a T47 bottom bracket into the build, all of the brake hose lines are internally routed for the cleanest-looking road bike that Moots has designed to date. ​ Built to perform best with 28-30mm road tires,  but can clear up to 32mm.
