The Mosaic MT-1 is designed to explore and shred. Whether on singletrack, a weeklong bikepacking trip or a Saturday afternoon hitting the local dirt trails; the MT-1 is a hand-built mountain minimalist that can do it all.
The 2019 NAHBS ‘Best Mountain Bike’ 1st prize winner has modern geometry, enhanced tire clearance for big 29” tires, and is optimized for long duration off-road adventure cycling with the ability to conquer any surprises the backcountry terrain has in store. The MT-1 is ideal for riders who want a hardtail mountain bike with bikepacking capabilities without giving up anything on technical singletrack descents.
The NAHBS winning build is an adventure rig, equipped with a Shimano XTR groupset, rigid ENVE carbon fork, strap-free bikepacking bag mounts, and 29×2.4” tires. Paint by Spectrum Paint & Powderworks (Mosaic’s house-owned finish shop.)
Mosaic bicycle frames are not mass-production models. They are custom designed– meaning they fit like a perfectly-tailored suit. With 30 colors and 6 stock layout options for paint schemes, it can also be a two-wheeled canvas for self-expression. Mosaic’s Custom Finish option allows the customer to get a custom geometry & paint MT-1 delivered to their door in six weeks.
