What do you guys think about the head tube being a 44mm? I guess I'm a bit of an old timer now...I was hoping Moots would offer no upcharge custom geo for the RSL lineup.

MemberHonestly, if you prefer the older standards the "regular" line is the way to go. I'm trying to make that same decision myself right now, between the MX and the MXRSL. Being race oriented though, the RSLs "have" to have the most cutting edge specs to stand out, eh?

Sorry about that guys. Having some upload issues. The Vamoots RSL is pictured with the optional 44mm head tube. It won't be standard, but offered as an option for a fee.
More updates to come as I work out the backside web issues.
thanks!

MemberSo does that mean that we can option an RSL for 2012 with the Chris King Inset 7 headset and run a tapered fork?
That I would like to see and could get me over the line on upgrading my SL Compact to an RSL.
Personaly I'd like to see an integrated seat post on the RSL too.Ahhh Dream Away.......

I am sure that is why they will be offering the 44 head tube option so one can run a tapered fork if they choose. I am going to do a cross RSL build soon once the frames start shipping with the InSet 7 and a tapered ENVE cross fork.

Well maybe? The standard 44mm insets only alow for 1 1/8" forks. However if you wanted to run a CK Inset 7 (to be able to run a tapered fork) in there I would assume some extra machining of the lower head tube will be needed so as not to mess up the HT angles with the higher stack height of the CK Inset 7 headset.
And the Inset7 may not fit once thats done or I could be to much trouble for the guys to do?Jon???
