The leaders in titanium bicycles, Moots Cycles, is proud to announce its latest creation, the Scrambler. Scrambler is brought to life for those riding the most rugged backcountry routes. Its geometry is designed around drop-bars, to keep riders comfortable in multiple hand positions, 2.4” tires, and of course, Moots’ renowned titanium craftsmanship.

Moots has a long, storied background of backcountry adventures, and their product line-up as well as its heritage products echo that story. The Scrambler is a direct descendant of the Moots Routt ESC and the Baxter before it. Unlike its predecessors, Scrambler is offered with 100mm of front suspension in the form of the RockShox SID SL. Rear compliance and stability comes in the form of Moots’ iconic wishbone seat stay shape and a tubeset similar to the Moots Routt 45 gravel bike that’s renowned for its all-day comfort. The Scrambler’s front triangle sports double-butted titanium tubes similar to the Moots MXC mountain bike.

“The Scrambler has allowed me to venture further than previously possible with a gravel bike,” offers ultra distance athlete Kyle Richardson. “I’ve relied on my Scrambler, often loaded with days’ worth of supplies, for riding to and running some of America’s most iconic peaks.”

The Scrambler, fully-built and ready-to-ride, comes equipped with a Shimano mechanical GRX brake and shift levers paired to an XT 36t/170mm crankset, GRX rear mech, and XT 10-51 cassette. Chris King MTN30 AL 29” Boost wheels are wrapped in WTB Macro 2.4 tires, and the Scrambler is finished with a Moots titanium seatpost and stem that are both made in-house, with color-matched finishes to coordinate with the customer’s Chris King headset color of choice. Scrambler will also be sold in a frame-only option.

Being an adventure bike, the Scrambler comes equipped with three water bottle cages inside the front triangle. Additionally, there are more mounts on the bottom of the downtube for bottles and storage, there’s a mount for a bento-box, and mounts on the underside of the top tube for a bolt-on frame bag. Portage options are completed out back with rack eyelets. For riders wanting a bit sportier ride, there’s stealth routing for a mechanical dropper post, and the stock Shimano GRX lever on the left side can be used to actuate the dropper.

And finally, like that perfect sunset over the hillside, the Scrambler isn’t going to be around forever. Scrambler complete bikes and framesets will only be available through the end of January, 2026. It will be offered in a standard brushed finished, as well as being available for special order in all of Moots’ premium anodized finishes, and just for Scrambler customers, there is an extra-limited ‘Topo’ anodized finish that fully envelops the frame, stem, and seatpost.
