You could say it’s an XC or marathon bike, but it would be boring to put such narrow labels on a bike this exciting! The MXC is Moots‘ solution for riders looking for a lightweight ti hardtail designed for buff trails, demanding climbs, hours of hard pedaling, and locations where “downcountry” trends don’t apply.
The MXC 1x-specific frame has space for a whopping 38T ring, clearance for 2.4” tires, and space for up to 3 water bottle mounts. The lightweight, large-diameter, double-butted front triangle joins a T47 bottom bracket and boost 148mm dropouts to manifest in ultimate axle-to-axle tracking.
The MXC is best paired with 100mm suspension forks to achieve a refreshing 69-degree* headtube angle. And no, that’s not a typo – this rig is purpose-built for riders seeking a bike that excels in high-speed yet mellow terrain.
Think Leadville 100, Chequamegon, and Sea Otter Classic—fast, efficient, and fun. For more aggressive trail conditions, riders might opt for our 120mm YBB-equipped Mountaineer or lean even more aggressively with the 140mm trail-capable Womble.
