It would probably look a lot cooler if it weren't a 22" frame with only 3" of seatpost showing. In any event, $1800 is a really good deal for Moots, especially one with a Moots seatpost, CK headset etc.

wow, I love the fact the design brief must have been along the lines of:
''rear end suspension without any need for grace or style''

pulls it off with aplomb!

I actually like the ugly ducklings though, Id love to know how it rides

 

[GoldenEraMTB]

well look at that

Looking at that frame was like seeing your favoite super hero split his pants.

I almost got one of these new, it was a toss up between a Boulder Starship and the Moots (although I thought it had a different name). The Moots has the advantage over the Boulder in that you can fit different shocks, but the placement of the shock would mean it would be venerable to crap coming off the rear wheel every ride. In the end price also played a big part and the Boulder was a bit cheaper.

But what if your super hero is a member the female UK Olympic bobsled team?

That's just a really odd way of doing it.
If they'd mounted the shock and linage on ANY of the (many) other tubes, I'm sure it would have worked so much better.

If that linkage moves UP when compressed, it wouldn't encourage you to hang off the back of the saddle on a rough descent :shock:

I know it's a Moots, but what a waste of titanium tubes and the skill of the framebuilder! :shock:
