WHITE RIM 29ER IS BACK AS A MOOTS CUSTOM!
The final version of the White Rim was a 69er fully rigid. Moots has agreed to build these as one-off customs for us, so you can get one. It will cost more, but it will have a Moots features, guarantee and those amazing welds.
DREAMRIDE FULLY AND MUTANT UNCHANGED FOR 2007!
As of 2008 the 6" travel Fully now includes a new designation that folds the Mutant design into the Fully as the Fully Mutant HD. The adjustable swingarm is now gone (but we still have at least one that is set aside for someone over 6'7"). The construction remains pretty much the same, but the Mutant HD variety gets a new 2" downtube with slightly different fabrication where it meets the bottom bracket. These two frames have been perfected over the past five years, so they don't look much different. We couldn't make them better. Suspension damping parts, however, are getting serious upgrades with the new model Marzocchi forks and Fox rear shocks. Weights are coming down. A medium sized Fully Mutant HD (pedaling freeride category) now weighs 33 pounds--not bad for a bike that can be jumped off of your garage. It feels even lighter when you are on it.
