Moots Mountaineer YBB

True mountaineers crave adventure and this rugged bike is no different. The unique mountain bike combines the geometry and efficiency of a hardtail XC bike with the added control of dual suspension. The result is an adventure-seeking machine that’s rearing to tackle singletrack leading off into the great unknown.

One of the key features that makes this bike unique is Moots’ YBB (Why-Be-Beat) rear micro-suspension. The compact suspension offers 1-¼” of pivotless travel that takes the bite out of the small, repetitive hits on the trail. It’s an uncomplicated and uncluttered system that requires no maintenance and adds almost no extra weight. Moots calls it a soft-tail, and it makes perfect sense for the long distance rider or the rider who prioritizes simplicity and comfort.

The Mountaineer has 120mm of front suspension and a capable 1x drivetrain that will help you tackle the steepest climbs and fast, flowy trails. With clearance for up to 29 x 2.6” tires, there’s no terrain that’s off limits. Moots added stealth routing for a dropper post and a standard Anything Cage mount on the down tube. Unloaded, the Mountaineer is a fun-loving singletrack shredder. Set it up with bags and you’ve a purpose-built bikepacker’s dream bike. You decide, this bike will handle anything you’ve got rolling around in your brain.

The benefit of the US-made 3/2.5 titanium is multifaceted, and you’ll appreciate this bike’s weight class, its efficiency, and its outright durability. It may not be the bike for every situation, but it’s definitely the bike for most.
