2023 Moots Routt 45 Review - A TPC Rider's Quick Take

While carbon grabs all the attention, the Moots Routt 45 is a testament to the versatility and appeal of titanium as a frame material for gravel bikes. 

Pros

  • Material quality: titanium, when used right, is ideal for gravel bikes, offering durability and a unique ride quality.
  • Design aesthetics: the bike features anodized accents and a sleek, matte grey finish, giving it a sophisticated look without being overly flashy.
  • Tire clearance: it boasts excellent tire clearance without compromising handling, accommodating up to 45mm tires.
  • Ride quality: the bike offers a comfortable yet lively ride, effectively absorbing road buzz while maintaining a connection to the road.
  • Versatility: with the ability to fit both road and gravel tires, the Routt 45 serves well as a road and gravel bike.
  • Unique features: includes a 3D-printed flat mount part for the rear brake, enhancing aesthetics and reducing welds.
  • Customization options: Moots offers a range of customization options, including internal brake routing, custom geometry, and various finishes like the Stanley multicolor anodized finish.

 

Cons

  • Price: the Routt 45 is a premium bike, and its price reflects that potentially putting it out of reach for some cyclists.
  • Limited suitability for bikepacking: While it can handle bikepacking, those looking for a bikepacking bike might prefer a different setup.
