Moots Ditches Titanium in Latest Gravel Bike
Yes, this is no joke from the king of titanium bikes. Moots has done two new things with the launch of one new bike. Today the Moots Express electric carbon gravel bike is officially revealed, something that certainly surprised us. When asked why they made this decision, Moots told us there were 2 reasons: “First, to enable riders to seek & explore further. And second, to showcase design characteristics that elevate the experience beyond other power-enabled bikes on the market today. Those being rider comfort, ride quality, ability to conquer mixed trail conditions, and the long-term durability that is synonymous with the Moots name.”
MOOTS EXPRESS KEY FEATURES
A stated range of at least 100 miles, depending on a number of ride characteristics of course.
The Express is built with a class 3 Shimano EP801 drive unit tuned to deliver 60nm power. The power curve is able to be tuned through the Shimano E-TUBE app. The drive unit is supported by a Shimano 504wH battery that is easily removable via one bolt under the battery access panel.
Two water bottle ports in the main triangle, one being a 3-pack variant to accommodate frame bags. Along with a 3-pack mount on each fork leg and integrated fender mounts front and rear. Shimano GRX carbon wheels come wrapped with 50c Panaracer GravelKing+ tires with plenty of clearance to spare.
