Refreshed to be more capable than ever, the 2026 Moots Womble clears 29 x 2.6″ tires, has a slacker head tube angle, and is designed around a 140mm fork. Take a closer look at Moots’ new premium titanium hardtail here…
Named after the 36-mile IMBA Epic in Arkansas, the Moots Womble made its debut in 2020, pushing their lineup of premium made-in-Colorado hardtail frames in a more progressive direction. The Womble has always been centered around a titanium frame and a 140mm fork, but the latest iteration modernizes it with updated geometry and specs.
As Moots summarizes it, they took “45 years of mountain bike know-how and applied it to a modern titanium hardtail built for bigger tires, rougher trails, longer days, faster descents, and the occasional bad line that somehow works out.”
The new Moots Womble has some familiar specs, including a double-butted titanium front triangle, a 73mm threaded bottom bracket, UDH rear dropouts, and boost hub spacing. It uses a 30.9mm seatpost, a 44mm head tube, a 160mm post-mount rear brake, and is designed for 29 x 2.4″ tires (but will clear up to 2.6″ rubber).
The geometry has changed for 2026, with notable changes being a ~2° slacker head tube angle (65° across the size range), more stack, and the same 434mm chainstays. The Womble is still available in four sizes (S-XL) to fit a variety of rider heights. Another notable change is a 1-inch shorter seat tube that’s now straight instead of bent.

Like their other models, the 2026 Womble is available in the full range of Moots Basic and Premium finishes, along with a limited-edition finish exclusive to the Womble. The limited edition includes two anodized titanium King Cages with titanium bolts, plus a Chris King 50th Anniversary Gold InSet 7 headset, ThreadFit bottom bracket, and seat collar.
Unsurprisingly, the Womble isn’t cheap. The frame-only costs $4,799 USD, and the limited-edition finish adds $1,500 to that price. The Level 1 complete build gives the option of a SRAM XO or Shimano XT drivetrain and costs $9,999. The Level 2 builds come with SRAM XX SL or Shimano XTR and cost a cool $11,490.
