Molotok 29+ Titanium MTB Frame

The Molotok titanium mtb frame is designed using modern forward geometry to create a bike that has a long front center, long wheelbase, long fork travel, and what the heck, let’s put 29 plus tires on it.  Its boost frame can accommodate up to 3.0 tires.  The 3.0 tires provide tons of traction and roll over everything in sight, while the 2.6 rubber isn’t far behind and feels a bit more nimble.  Either way, it’s a fun ride.  Also, the titanium construction is light, and the prototype with 29×3.0 rubber was only 29 lbs ready to go.

It’s probably pretty obvious that this bike wants to go downhill, and therefore, it has provisions for an internal dropper post.  But, it will also climb!  With a 75-degree (size large and XL) seat tube angle, the rider is up forward of the relatively short 440mm chainstays, and the bike climbs well without lofting the front end unexpectedly.  Fork flop is minimal with the 65.5-degree head tube angle.  And, this bike can rail corners, too, despite its length!

The Molotok titanium mtb frame is a trail simplifier.  It simply rolls over obstacles that would cause other bikes to get rejected or stall out.  It flows up, along, and down the trail and is a great platform for riding all day.  The cockpit is surprisingly comfortable because the reach to the bars is normal due to the seat angle.  Tested on the Arizona Trail and many other rocky southwest trails, it’s a solid bike to use for trail, all-mountain, bikepacking, and hardtail-style descending.   If all you have is a Molotok…hammer the trails!
