Moots Express bike | $9,999

Moots Express Bike

Moots launches the ultimate adventure-ready eBike, the Express. Since day one, they’ve designed and built bikes that take you as far and as long as your heart desires. Purpose-built bikes are hand-crafted with equal parts passion and experience.

Over the decades, that focus has built a tremendous following of cyclists who appreciate the craftsmanship put into every bike that sports the Moots head badge. And now, Moots is thrilled to announce the addition of an eBike to their fleet of premium bikes engineered for wherever the ribbon of road and wandering trail may lead. 

In the world of e-bikes, there was a clear path forward for Moots, applying decades of design and building experience into a purpose-built model designed to go the distance. The Express brings Moot’s electric-powered vision to reality.

The core concept of pushing harder and going further has always motivated Moots. So, to introduce a power-assisted bike into their fleet, it had to do two core things: First, to enable riders to seek & explore further. And second, to showcase design characteristics that elevate the experience beyond other power-enabled bikes on the market today.

The result is a sleek bike and a competent partner for the adventure ahead. The Express is a game changer, where adventure awaits whenever you step out the door.

Moots Express Bike Key Features

Range: With a range well past 100* miles, the Express will deliver more ride distance than nearly any bike on the market today.  (*depending on ride characteristics like assist level use, rider weight, elevation gain, wind speeds, and tire pressure.)

Power: The Express is built with a class 3 Shimano EP801 drive unit tuned to deliver 60nm power. The power curve can be tuned through the Shimano E-TUBE app. The drive unit is supported by a Shimano 504wH battery that is easily removable via one bolt under the battery access panel.

Frame features: Two water bottle ports in the main triangle, one being a 3-pack variant to accommodate frame bags. Along with a 3-pack mount on each fork leg and integrated fender mounts front and rear. Shimano GRX carbon wheels come wrapped with 50c Panaracer GravelKing+ tires with plenty of clearance to spare.

Components: The Express is spiced with a premium Shimano system from nose to tail for their proven, premium performance and reliable service for years. Shimano LinkGlide chain, cassette, and chainring are designed and built specifically for eBikes to deliver precise shifting and durability for the bike’s extra torque. The drivetrain specs are a 1 x 11 system with a 47-tooth front chainring and an 11/50T rear cassette.

No mess/No fuss: Fully internal routing via Moots MOD series components; handlebar and stem

Intuitive ease of use: The right shifter controls the derailleur while the left shifter adjusts the assist mode to add or reduce available power assist seamlessly

The Shimano EP801 system allows riders to choose two levels of Autoshift control. The Autoshift feature automatically adjusts gearing based on your input torque and cadence.

Weight: A ride-ready Medium weighs in at a trim 33lbs.

Available sizes: S, M, L, XL

Super Pacific X1 Camper | $13,495 (Starting)

Super Pacific’s Switchback X1 Camper

Super Pacific’s Switchback X1 Camper is a spacious, adventure-ready truck camper designed to provide the best in class comfort in all weather conditions and for any adventure. The Switchback X1 Camper boasts an elevated and modern design aesthetic, setting it apart in the wedge camper category, and it fits most mid- and full-sized trucks—100% Made in the USA.

How is the Switchback X1 Camper Built?

Built like an airplane, the Switchback X1 is designed to withstand off-road use’s extreme stress and vibration. The X1 features precision laser-cut sheet aluminum and aircraft-grade rivets using aerospace fabrication methods. This flexible and modular camper system is customizable for various disciplines for year-round adventures.

The camper’s canopy portion, the fuselage, is built from a .080” 5052 aluminum sheet that is laser cut, break formed, and riveted together with solid rivets in their manufacturing facility. The clamshell that mounts to the fuselage and houses the tent is built from a combination of the brand’s proprietary extrusion and custom parts machined from 6061billet aluminum to their specifications. These parts hold composite panels that make the floor and ceiling of the clamshell. 

The composite material used is common in transportation and aerospace industries and is built with exterior layers of fiberglass over a honeycomb polypropylene core that gives them great strength-to-weight ratio and maintains transparency for radio signals, so the clamshell does not interfere with over-cab antenna placements. All sheet metal parts are powder coated, and all machined parts are anodized with a UV-stable formula developed to survive UV sterilization in a medical setting.

The all-weather tent is meticulously hand-sewn in Oregon with marine-grade material called Top Gun 9, making it one of its most durable and sophisticated tents. It is a polyester textile impregnated with an acrylic treatment to provide a durable, weatherproof finish.

The adjustable ventilation system creates optimal airflow and reduces condensation. Each vent has a rain fly that can be opened with a fiberglass batten from the tent’s interior to provide passive air circulation in all conditions. 

Above each door is a screened vent that can be opened for ventilation or closed to retain heat. The XL sleeping loft and functional floor panels offer many solutions for multiple occupants and furry companions. 

The bed platform is purposefully designed around the Exped Megamat Duo LW+ Mattress, among the most comfortable camping mattresses available. Unwind for the night and take in the scenery with three no-see-um grade screened doors and 270° views.

Versatility and Customization

Adding versatility, the truckbed can be transformed into a full-standing height space, better known as Living Room Mode™. Creating a dry and secure space in your truck bed, the Switchback X1 adds value to your truck as a daily driver. The Free Flow™ vent system is designed to give you control over temperature and condensation for the ultimate comfort level. 

The modular Molle Panels allow gadgets to be kept right where you need them – close yet out of the way. Universal t-slots are included: Awnings, cross bars, solar, you name it, the t-slots can handle it. More features include 3 zippered and screened tent doors, 3 locking canopy doors, a 3rd brake light, and cabside acrylic windows.

Customization becomes effortless with the modular platform, adapting your gear setup to your changing needs. A mobile gear locker (commercial-grade canopy) is built in for secure storage and allows you full access from all sides. All three canopy doors are keyed and can be opened with one hand for full access to the sides of your truck bed to quickly load and access your gear during your work week and your weekend adventures.

Personalize the look of your setup: you’ll have a choice of 6 premium powder-coated aluminum colors (Black, White, Grey, OD, Green, Tan, and Blue), your choice of 2 tent fabric colors (Grey or Tan), and either a Tailgate Acrylic window or Solid Tailgate Door.

BOTE Micro Skiff

Three paddlers are driving their BOTE Micro Skiffs along a canal.
BOTE Micro Skiff

What do you get when you smash up a best-in-class stand-up paddle board with a flats skiff? A BOTE Micro Skiff. More than a paddle board and more accessible to maneuver and transport than a flats skiff, the micro skiff is the ultimate fishing machine for those who want to go farther and faster.

Let’s get past the first question: “Can I put a motor on it?” The answer is, finally, hell yes.

BOTE Micro Skiffs allow the rider to get super shallow, be stealthy, and have a simple approach to fishing. Designed to be paddled or motorized with an outboard motor, a micro skiff transports you to even the gnarliest honey holes. 

Turn the power on to cruise across large bodies of water, then cut it and start paddling to ease through the shallows without disrupting what’s happening beneath the surface.

The ultimate fishing machine is a paddle board/skiff hybrid, or what we like to call the Rover. By scaling down a flats skiff to just the essentials—a drop deck cockpit, thick rails, and an actual hull—and combining those features with the construction of a stand-up paddle board, the Rover Gatorshell 14′ Micro Skiff and Rover Aero 12′6″ Inflatable Micro Skiff are engineered for speed, stealth, and stability.

With two options, look no further than our BOTE Micro Skiffs collection for the best solid and inflatable skiff on the market.

BOTE Rover Inflatable 14′ Micro Skiff ($6,428)

BOTE’S solid micro skiff, the BOTE Rover Gatorshell 14′, is nearly three times thicker than a typical paddle board and compatible with our patented removable Moto Rac system. 

The Rover can carry up to a 9.9 HorsePower motor with a top speed of 18 mph. And, with thicker rails, a displacement nose, and only 3 inches of draft, the Rover absorbs chop, paddles like a dream, and allows you to get to those hard-to-reach places that other boats can’t access.

Gatorshell Technology construction means this thing is built to last. The Rover Gatorshell is engineered to be 6X tougher than traditional epoxy, thanks to ABS Plastic combined with ballistics grade composites. 

With a capacity of up to 500 lbs and an unloaded weight of 105 lbs, this BOTE is more accessible to transport than your standard boat without compromising capacity. Load it down with a motor, fishing gear, a Rac system, KULA, and some. Because with the Rover Gatorshell 14′, you’re hitting more than one fishing hole on today’s journey.

Rover Aero 12′6″ Inflatable Micro Skiff ($4,608)

BOTE Rover Aero 12′6″ Inflatable Micro Skiff

The Rover Aero 12′6″—the slightly more compact, inflatable skiff version of the Rover Gatorshell 14′— features everything you love about its solid counterpart but can be packed down into the provided carry bag to take your water-based adventures around the world and back again.

Throw a compatible outboard motor on it to reach speeds up to 16 mph or paddle nimbly through shallow backwaters with just 3″ of the draft. Built with military-grade PVC, the Rover Aero 12′6″ inflates to a rock-solid board in minutes to ensure peak rigidity for maximum performance.

Top it off with an ample capacity of up to 500 lbs, this inflatable skiff carries all your gear, favorite compatible accessories, and modular Rac system integrations for unparalleled functionality.  

Escapod TOPO2 Teardrop Trailer (Starting at $33,990) 

Escapod Nomad trailer
The Escapod TOPO2 Trailer

The Escapod TOPO2 packs more features and functionality into an interior than ever, providing a better camping experience. Escapod introduced a mudroom at each entry door. A strategically designed 4.5” x 32” space that gives you a perch for your feet as you pull off dirty shoes.

Trailer Structure

The stunning exterior of the TOPO2 is made of a single-piece composite fiberglass body. Its stiffness comes from a unique PET core made from recycled milk cartons.

The Mechanicals 

A 100 amp hour VPR 4EVER lithium battery powers the 12V system throughout both TOPO2 Nomad and Voyager. Strategically placed, dimmable, warm-light LED lighting in the cabin & galley, and ground lights beneath each entry door. Access to USB ports in both the galley & the cabin keeps your devices charged.

A standard four-speed MaxxAir exhaust fan comes standard on both trim levels. Helping keep your cabin cool in all conditions. The TOPO2 Voyager comes standard with a Truma Combi Eco, which operates as a water heater and cabin heat, allowing you to camp year-round comfortably.

Add-Ons

Want a 2nd awning for full coverage? No problem. Hitting National Parks and needing some privacy? Add the blackout door screens. Want an articulating hitch on your tow vehicle? Done deal. With the TOPO2, you can take off-grid teardrop camping to the next level.
