Best Mountain XC
Here it is: The titanium freak's ultimate full suspension freak out. This is the best of the best, an ultimate investment for a racing privateer who wants to train and race on one bike, and needs the bike to hold up for seasons on end. For the recreational perfectionist looking for the ceiling, here it is. The MAX group, originally formulated for theMoots Smoothie, has been tweaked and upgraded over the past six years. It now suits the Cinco and Zirkel frames, sparing no expense or labor to decrease weight and increase overall quality, performance and cosmetic appeal. MAX is best described as balanced compatibility, where no part overwhelms the part next to it. The MAX includes a Moots titanium stem (Open [oversized four bolt] or Ti-Beam [two bolt]) and seatpost (Cinch layback) combo with a choice of Selle Italia, WTB or Brooks saddles (WTB reduces cost, Brooks Titanium railed Swallow increases price). An FSA carbon fiber handlebar is stock. Fork choices are Fox 32F-RLC (as priced below), Magura Thoror Marzocchi XC 700 ATA. A Shimano XTR or SRAM X.O drivetrain is matched to color-matched Magura Marta SL discs. Choose a top-of-the-line ultra-light FSA hollow carbon crankset or an XTR crankset. The light, strong, handbuilt Dreamride SuperEgo wheelset is based on your weight and riding style with color-matched Chris King ISO hubs, a choice of DT spokes, and rims suited to your weight and the bikes use (Mavic XM717, XM719, 817UST, 823UST or XM321). You have the choice to reduce the price of the overall package by substituting Magura Marta discs and XT drivetrain components without sacrificing performance attributes. Like the parts list and overall cosmetics of the bike, cables are finely worked, guided and laced for straight-lines, smooth operation and easy cleaning, and are color-matched. Tires are chosen for your specific terrain, riding style and cosmetics. As with other Dreamride parts formulas, each bike is cosmetically unique, fitted and detailed for one person. Expect the complete bike to weigh 25.5 to 28.5 pounds, depending primarily on rims, spokes, tires, and fork choice. This bike is recommended to recreational riders under 225 pounds and racers under 210 pounds, but we can work with Moots to custom build frames for any size, weight or level of aggression--within reason. If you are looking for similar bike with custom sizing built into the price, more travel, more lateral rigidity and equal weight and is more suitable to agressive riding over rough terrain, click on DREAMRIDE FULLY. The MAX parts group is a perfect match for any MOOTS mountain frame, by the way.
