Moxie Mx3

The ride.

We set the benchmark and painted it hot pink!

The Moxie gives you that raw, authentic, riding experience. Feel connected to the trail in a way that’s only possible on a hardtail, safe in the knowledge that our signature Drop Optimized Geometry® is designed to put you in control. This is a hardtail ready for anything you can throw at it, and if you want to try and find the limits of the Moxie’s capabilities be our guest, but don’t say we didn’t warn you…

“These go to eleven.”

The evolution has continued and this latest version of the Moxie is even more capable whilst keeping the unmistakable style that made the original Moxie so special.

Useful things to know.

The Moxie Mx3 is the most current model. Compared to the previous Mx2, it has a longer head tube and uses the same top tube as The Full Moxie so is it can run the latest, long-travel 29er forks. The chainstay yoke has also been widened for more tyre clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Most questions about sizing, component choice or shipping are answered in the section at the link below.

Quality in design.

It takes moxie and a no-compromise approach to design and develop a bike this capable and the Moxie has redefined what’s possible from a steel hardtail. Our goal was to build the ultimate all-mountain hardtail, engineered to avoid the use of any external reinforcement but compromising nothing in strength or performance. 

The only way to do this was to design and make custom, multi-butted tubing that’s redefined the possibilities and set a new benchmark. In addition, we use custom CNC yokes to not only enhance the performance and strength but give a distinctive aesthetic, contrasting beautifully with the clean lines and organic curves of the frame.

Our signature Drop Optimized Geometry® is a core element of our design philosophy and allow riders to spec the longest dropper post possible on their frame size. Get low, get stable, and get confident. 

“Embrace modern, forward thinking sizing and open up a new world of performance.” – IMBikemag

With the best tubing, inspired geometry and exceptional manufacturing, the Moxie is the result of our dedication to making the highest performance bicycle frames.

Colours.

For 2023, Long/470mm frames are offered in Neon Pink, Silver Fox and Jet Black.

• Neon Pink: the original, iconic, ‘eye-burning’ colour that’s the epitome of Moxie.
• Silver Fox: a metallic silver that’s often mistaken for Ti.
• Jet Black: a classic, dark, gloss black.

Unpainted frames.

The unpainted Moxie frame is not bare unfinished metal: there’s no visible colouring at the heat-affected zone (HAZ). It has a black EPD corrosion-resistant surface finish (internally and externally). The frames are supplied with a pack that includes a metal self-adhesive head badge, HRWT (Heat Resistant Water Transfer) decals and the standard frame hardware (sliding dropout inserts, bolts, rear axle, clips and guides).

For a ‘factory finish’, we recommend you have the frame professionally painted: the decals should be clear-coated or lacquered for durability and protection. If you require the decals file in SVG format (or similar), contact us.

Drop Optimized Geometry®

This is our philosophy, a combination of what we believe to be the best possible geometry for mountain bikes. A balanced blend of confidence, comfort and efficiency, Drop Optimized Geometry® gives you all the encouragement you need.

Long, Longer and now Longish…..what does that even mean?

When we launched the Moxie, it was only available in 2 sizes as we were confident that our Drop Optimized Geometry® could fit most riders between 5’5”/1.65m and 6’4”/1.93m. QED.

However, with only 2 sizes the normal monikers of small (S), medium (M), large (L) and extra-large (XL) didn’t seem appropriate so we chose Long and Longer instead. S/M and L/XL might have been more recognisable but really, they’re not that much more informative without ‘numbers’: one brands’ medium might be another brands’ large and herein lies the problem with labelling. With the addition of smaller sizes to our line-up, Longish was the natural choice. Confused?

This is one of the reasons why geometry tables are provided. But, how do you use this data?

If you compare our geometry to the data for your current bike (or some other reference frame), this should give you some indication of fit.

Designed for dropper posts.

Our Drop Optimized Geometry® can accommodate most riders between 4’11”/1.50m and 6’4”/1.93m with the selection of the appropriate length dropper post.

Current dropper posts offer around 100-215mm of adjustment allowing a wide range of riders to fit a frame with a 16.5″/420mm seat tube. Maximum usable length of seat tube is 260mm.
