Moots Routt 45 Force/XO1 AXS Etch 55

Whether it’s a deep forest track or chunky gravel roads, Routt 45 can handle it all.

We named this bike after a stretch of road that is sometimes hard pack smooth, sometimes large stones, sometimes sand. Routt County Road 45 or CR45 or Cow Creek or the last and at times the roughest section of SBT GRVL. The Routt 45 was built with all of this in mind. We’ve gone to a longer top tube paired with a shorter stem and slightly slacker angles that combine for better tracking through the worst conditions. Equipped with 3 bottle locations and fender eyelets give this bike uncompromised flexibility. This modern gravel bike has capacity for a 700 x 50mm tire and is compatible with 1x or 2x drive systems.

The Bottom Line: Perfect all-round gravel use, gravel tour with bags, adventure seeker, the look and ride of modern gravel.

Legacy: The Routt started it all for our gravel line. Named after the county we are based in and close cousin to the Psychlo X RSL and Psychlo X. The Routt line has now developed into a 5 bike family to keep the gravel hungry well fed. The Routt 45 is our do-all gravel go-getter.
