MOOTS CYCLES
STEAMBOAT, COLORADO USA
Since 1981 Moots has been creating some of the most enviable bikes on the market. The most recent update to the Routt 45 brings a longer front-center with slacker head tube, but the biggest news is the increased tire clearance…up to a 50c tire can now be used. Adventure ready.

DESALVO CYCLES
ASHLAND, OREGON USA
Mt. Ashland has some good skiing in the winter, but that doesn’t come close to what summer offers with the nearly endless miles of dirt roads on the mountain and the surrounding Siskiyou range. Those miles of gravel have shaped DeSalvo’s designs and inspiration around what makes a true gravel bike.

SCARAB CYCLES

ISEN WORKSHOP
MITCHAM UNITED KINGDOM
A version of the All Season that is made for road performance, while still being able to accomodate high volume tires for a degree of off-road capability. There are so many intricate details on the ISEN, including 3D printed dropouts, a gorgeous pierced seat tube lug, and an asymmetric seat stay bridge. The finish is one of the most striking paint jobs of all the bikes in the Round-Up and is done in-house.
