Colorado-based Moots Cycles is celebrating its 45th anniversary with a gorgeous special edition finish. The unique finish features exposed and anodized titanium, highlighting the natural character of the frame material. But most notably, it is how much exposed titanium you don’t see thanks to the black Cerakote finish. Moots has been handcrafting titanium bikes since 1981, and is offering this limited edition finish across its entire bike line as a way to mark almost half a century of frame building.

The 45th anniversary bikes feature a distinctive black Cerakote finish over most of the frame. With the strategic areas of titanium exposed, this creates a clean, purposeful look.

The Black Cerakote finish matches the titanium frame’s durability and corrosion-free properties. For the exposed titanium sections and anodized accents, customers can choose between pink and bronze accent colors.

You know I love an understated aesthetic when it comes to bicycles. So to me, the coolest thing about the new limited finish is the vintage-inspired wordmark and custom anniversary emblem that reference the company’s history.

Moots aren’t cheap, and neither is this finish. The finish adds an additional $1,200 over base pricing. This positions it as even more of a premium option alongside Moots’ other specialty finishes. As mentioned before, the anniversary treatment is available on frames across their gravel, road, and mountain bike categories.

If you don’t want to splurge for the 45th Anniversary Custom Finish, it’s OK, you’ll still get something to commemorate the occasion. Every Moots frame sold in 2026 will automatically include a celebratory 45th anniversary emblem on the seat tube.

And if neither the 45th Anniversary finish nor the 45th anniversary emblem floats your boat, you can opt out and go for the standard “Mr. Moots” logo instead.

Moots is still in business selling their extraordinarily overpriced bikes? It’s been a while since I’ve heard about them and I assumed they went out of business…

Can’t be much longer, good riddance.

As long as there are 55yr+ old orthodontists and anesthesiologists Moots will be fine.

selling $12K hardtails with lame geo and basic spec is a business model that is wholey dependent on rich people who have zero clue what makes a good bike.

Yeah. Dumb American company that makes the highest quality Ti frames in the world. Absolute trash.. You sounds like the average Canyon purchaser who thinks chinese carbon is the best.

Price is high yes but Frame is titanium so it actually keep some scrap metal price always even if you bashed out unlike carbon plastic and settings is decent shame only that it’s not full suspension only front …

I’m not going to say whether this is a good or bad aesthetic, or whether the price is reasonable for what they’re doing. I will however say that it’s a bold marketing move for Moots to completely cover the welds, which have been their calling card for a very long time.

this looks almost like my black anodized aluminium mtb frame which i got from a friend for a crate of beer

i interpret that as a whole new level of understatement from Moots
