This is the Moots IMBA RCR (Routt County Riders) trail work bike.

It’s designed in collaboration with the local trail builders and something they hope to send around the country for IMBA and other trail care clubs to use.

First time they’ve done inside-the-triangle post mount disc brake tabs, and it’s running 203mm rotors front and rear to rein in the 45lbs of bike. Hubs are 170mm fat bike hubs with a 100mm crank spindle.

It’s like a pack mule, except sexy and titanium. Click on thru for the details…

Front rack has an integrated screw-together handle and trail tool with Rogue/Pulaski type tool head. They’re held on with stem face plates and a pinch bolt.

King cage built the custom extended bottle cage to hold a chainsaw fuel canister.

They also made a custom bell that doubles as a shot glass! It’s mounted to a massive 33″ wide handlebar.

Limited edition T-shirts are available for sale ($25) that benefit IMBA and RCR to fuel more trail building. These should be up at Moots.com soon.

Want a bike like this? Save up about $15,000 to $18,000 and start begging. There are no plans to produce more.

That looks like something from a Ho Chi Minh Trail documentary 🙂

That thing is so cool though you can’t fit 33-inch wide handlebars through New England woods. But I’d still take it if offered.

@Andrew F it comes with a chainsaw, I think you could make it through any woods.

I do not care about chainsaw, but this would be a nice bikepacking ride. Maybe with a 29r wheel in front.

I could be lighter than a regular bike and all the racks an panniers.

Shouldn’t the chainsaw be mounted on the front?

That is a true EVIL DEAD bike for sure. Needs the mount for the Double barreled Remington Boom stick! Made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about hundred and nine, ninety five…walnut stock, cobalt blue steel and a hair trigger…Shop Smart

Tom- it carries fuel in the green fuel bottle. It’s marked “FUEL” and with that many racks bringing along bar oil presents no problem.

Dumb. What lumberjack is gonna ride a $5,000 titanium bike with his chainsaw on the rack?

@Ajax I may not be a lumberjack but I am a professional arborist. I don’t have $5,000 but I would pay a good amount of money for this. I live on the beach 3 miles from my shop and this would be awesome for my commute to work. And don’t forget that most lumberjacks drive $60,000 trucks so don’t rule out a $5,000 bike for them.

My friend’s Farmboss got quite the workout here on Long Island after Sandy. We were happy to pack the wedges, fuel, handsaws and whatnot, on our backs, just to get the trails back. Though in fairness here in the ‘burbs we were never a couple a hundred yards from a road. That beast would be AWESOME for more remote maintenance!
