Moots ROUTT YBB

The ROUTT YBB is the newest addition to the Moots gravel line. This particular model employs a unique and redesigned “softail” micro-suspension technology that Moots used on their first mountain bikes from the 1990s. The “YBB” stands for “Why Be Beat” and this bike is bred for long distance endurance rides and races on mixed surfaces where comfort and control take precedence.

First and foremost, the piece of tech that makes the ROUTT YBB special is the proprietary rear micro-suspension technology. It provides 20mm of rear wheel travel that helps absorbs the chatter on trails and gravel roads so riders can go farther and longer with more control and less fatigue.

This model has an endurance-oriented fit and a geometry that finds the sweet spot between stability over rough terrain and tight handling and responsiveness. A Moots full-carbon gravel fork offers the best combination of stiffness and compliance and even comes with hidden fender eyelets for wet weather riding. A proprietary 6/4 titanium 3D printed flat-mount disc mount allows for perfect rear wheel alignment and adds stiffness and power transfer capability.

This model comes standard with 700 x 45mm WTB Riddler fast-rolling tires with plenty of traction and cushion for off road performance and comfort. It’s got clearance for a compact double chainring one a 1x drivetrain with up to a 42-tooth chainring so you can dial in your gearing. There’s not one, not two, but three water bottle cages to keep you riding longer and farther.

The ROUTT YBB is designed with American-made titanium to fit seven stock sizes and 7 designs, and all angles, tube lengths, tube diameters and wall thickness are size-selected to create the perfect ride feel. You can also pair this frame with a LAUF gravel for if you want to add suspension.

MOOTS SELECT BUILDS provide a quicker delivery when choosing one of the curated build kits. The MOOTS SELECT BUILDS come standard with the ETCHED finish but can be upgraded to a full array of finish options including Signature Series anodized logos and patterns.
