Moots Vamoots CRD
Summer 2023 - 141
|Cyclist UK
The best just got better, and more expensive

'I was time we updated our true pavement-focused bike from the Vamoots Disc RSL, and a major part of that was hidden cables,’ says Moots brand manager Jon Cariveau. ‘That was the starting point for the CRD.’
Where previously Moots’ round-tubed titanium frames struggled to possess enough space to route things internally, the CRD’s oversized T47 bottom bracket shell provides the necessary space to route a brake hose around the BB. Up front, Chris King’s new AeroSet 3 headset (made in conjunction with Enve) routes brake hoses between its 1.5in top bearing and the fork’s 1.125in steerer tube. This is only technically compatible with the Enve cockpit, however. It all looks wonderfully neat, but the CRD is much more than a neat-looking bike.
What’s new?
In the broadest strokes, the CRD (Complete Road Design) is more evolution than revolution, but that has always been the Moots way. The Vamoots platform has been around since 1997 and each iteration is more a bid to keep the essential premise – cutting-edge titanium race bike – current. Thus, in recent years the Vamoots RSL (Race Super Light) got discs, and the 35mm tyre-clearance Vamoots RCS (Routt County Special) arrived to cater for the all-road crowd.
