Moots introduce the Secret Menu: Item 001 // Apres Dirt Routt CRD

moots secret menu gravel bike — Moots Apres Dirt Routt CRD in Citrus Squeeze

“Most of what we build belongs on the regular menu. Those bikes are the core of Moots, and they’re the reason we’re still here after 45 years: titanium frames built by hand in Steamboat Springs, clean details, proven designs, and a ride quality that has earned its reputation one bike at a time. But every once in a while, we get the itch to step outside the usual order. Try a finish we’ve been kicking around. Pair it with a curated parts kit. Throw a little sauce on it and see what happens. Not because the regular menu needs changing, but because sometimes it’s fun to make something a little different.” – Moots

That’s where the Secret Menu comes in.

“It gives us a place for the ideas that are too good to leave off the plate. A small run, a special finish, a few extra details, all built with the same care, experience, and attention that goes into every Moots we make. Same Moots DNA, just with a little extra seasoning.”

Secret Menu Item 001 // Apres Dirt Routt CRD

The first release from the Moots Secret Menu starts where a gravel bike usually looks best: after the ride.

Après Dirt is a small run of fully painted Routt CRDs inspired by the dust, grit, and road spray that collect on a frame after a good day out.

The speckle pattern pulls from the way dirt builds up across the bike, while the front-to-back fade gives the finish that same worn-in, just-back-from-the-ride energy.

Underneath the speckle and fade are two colors pulled from Moots history: blue and citron. Familiar ingredients, mixed a little differently this time, and served on the Routt CRD.
