Price: $9,200 (frame and shock: $4,995) Weight: 26.2 pounds Contact: moots.com Moots is renowned for its exquisite, meticulously crafted bicycles. Handmade in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, from US-made titanium tubing, the MX Divide is a curious creature. Previously, Moots' full-suspension duties were handled by the YBB model, which has been around since 1988. For the MX Divide, the company enlisted the technical expertise of respected suspension firm, the Sotto Group, whose members were responsible for the Switch design that Yeti now uses, as well as pioneering the VPP platform at Santa Cruz. The Fusion Link system is a single-pivot-linkage design that testers found to be very plush, offering an excellent balance of comfort and efficiency with dollops of climbing traction. However, it was not as brisk a pedaler as the BMC or the Niner and required the Fox Float RP23 rear shock to be put into the ProPedal mode to maximize ground speed.
