Moots Mountaineer

Wheel Size: 29" | Front Travel: 120mm | Rear Suspension: Moots YBB Microsuspension

Originally released in 1983, the Moots Mountaineer has evolved into a modern titanium trail hardtail designed for riders who want XC efficiency and responsiveness with a little added comfort for ambitious rides. Built around Moots’ signature YBB Microsuspension system, the Mountaineer smooths out trail chatter and small impacts without sacrificing pedaling efficiency, creating a ride feel that stays fast, composed, and remarkably comfortable over rough terrain. Oversized seamless 3/2.5 titanium tubing and Moots’ proprietary double-butted construction, deliver a lightweight, durable platform with precise handling and exceptional ride quality. Paired with a 120mm suspension fork, progressive trail geometry, and clearance for up to 29x2.6” tires, the Mountaineer feels equally capable on technical climbs, flowing descents, and all-day (or multi-day) backcountry adventures. Designed and built in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, the Mountaineer blends timeless titanium craftsmanship with modern trail-bike capability, creating a mountain bike that feels lively, efficient, and built to last a lifetime. 

Riders looking for a more aggressive titanium trail bike with greater descending capability should also consider the Moots Womble, which adds longer travel and slacker geometry for modern trail riding. For riders interested in a lighter, more XC-oriented titanium mountain bike focused on speed and efficiency, the Moots MXC delivers a racier feel while preserving Moots' smooth, fatigue-reducing ride quality.
