There is another reason that was a byproduct of the double curve down tube...it brings the bottle just a touch closer to your reach. Yes, the first reason we did the double curve was to differentiate the MX RSL from the MX Ybb and MX....as a normal 29er the down tube comes off the head tube at a very steep angle and will typically put the bottle location lower and for some, harder to reach. It's a small thing, but we sweat those things. </p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=1396#post-3571 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 00:09:01 +0000 kalamath 3571@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I like em curvy! Only reason I haven't ordered up a MX RSL is I'm on the fence between the regular MX's standard BB &amp; headtube and the RSL's PF30 &amp; 44mm inset. The fact that the regular MX now has the first bend + formed chainstays for more clearance further muddies the waters for me. What to do, what to do... </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=1396#post-3570 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 23:52:50 +0000 johnny5 3570@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>My wife absolutely loves the curved tubes. She was upset when my 18" Rigormootis Slider came in and didn't have the curved top tube of the 16" pictured in the 09 catalog. When she gets her Moots it'll have every tube bent that Moots offers, I'm certain.</p> <p>Me, I'm happy I have the MX RSL I have, mostly as I ride it rigid, so the 100mm change might mess up angles with my current fork, and I dig the single bend look. However, the smaller sizes like Kelly Boniface's bike look dead sexy with the double curves. </p> <p>As for the Divide, I like the curved tubes on it a lot. The MX RSL will take some time to grow on me. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=1396#post-3567 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 17:01:17 +0000 Cusco 3567@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I like the sencond bend in the downtube and especially like the fact that the MootoX RSL is now spec. for a 100mm fork. Unlike other frames (for example Black Sheep) that have bends in all their tubing it is just the down tube for the RSL and it is pretty subtle. I have a '12 RSL on order and can't wait to get it built up. Should be on the trails by late October / early November. My Enve / CK UST wheelset is being ordered this week (3 week lead time from Wheelbuilder).... psyched!! Will be mated to a set of Nobby Nics (2.25 R / 2.35F) </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=1396#post-3564 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 12:40:41 +0000 Mark M 3564@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I'm trying to keep an open mind and realize that I don't always like change at first, but my initial impression is not favorable. I was fine with the bend near the head tube for clearance issues because there was a valid reason for it but that second bend serves no purpose and reminds me of an old Schwinn Stingray. I know others will love it but I would suggest Moots offers the buyer a choice so as to not alienate potential buyers. They obviously have the specs all figured out on the MootoX since they were just building them. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=1396#post-3563 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 11:02:22 +0000 gearguywb 3563@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>So what does everyone think about the curved tubes on the MootoX and Divide for '12? </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=986#post-3392 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 20:59:06 +0000 woody 3392@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Yeah it kind of looks like handle bar tape with electrical tape on the ends, but it's a pure guess.

I like the look of your solution. does it deaden the "ting-ting" from the Ti? </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=986#post-3334 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 23:21:10 +0000 29ner 3334@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Enjoy your write ups and photos. Informative, articulate, and obviously someone who rides (and has some money). I am not a weight weenie, so I skip through some of that stuff, but nice builds and sharp looking bikes. You gotta get on some the 700c bikes...... </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=986#post-3332 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 21:25:36 +0000 diglloyd 3332@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Posted a note on tire choice with the MootoX RSL, VERY big difference in how the bike performance is veiled by heavier tires, and revealed by lighter ones.<br /> <a href="http://windinmyface.diglloyd.com/Moots-2011MootoX_RSL-tires.html" rel="nofollow">http://windinmyface.diglloyd.com/Moots-2011MootoX_RSL-tires.html</a></p> <p>As far as bike weight, mine should drop to about 21.5 with the lighter tires (with two tubes of Stan's each) and the carbon crown SID XX World Cup (to be confirmed shortly, installing the fork).</p> <p>The sealant alone totals about 246g (123g per tire), so one has to specify all such details for weight figures to have meaning for comparison.
