It features a RockShox 35 Gold RL 140mm travel fork, Bontrager Line 30 wheels, a 12 speed SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain (11-50 cassette), and Shimano’s entry level 4-piston brakes. It gets a RockShox Recon Silver RL 140mm fork, Bontrager Line 30 aluminium wheels, a Shimano Deore 12 speed drivetrain and Shimano MT200 2-piston brakes.

It runs an SR Suntour XCM 32mm stanchion coil fork, Alex MD35 Rims, a Shimano Deore 10 speed drivetrain, Shimano MT200 2-piston brakes and an aluminium Bontrager finishing kit. The budget option Roscoe 6, retailing at $1,149.99 USD, is a carry over frame from 2021, so still has the ~67.3° head tube angle, 27.5″+ wheels and 120mm travel fork.
#2020 TREK STACHE 7 UPDATE#
Though you’ll see four models of the 2022 Trek Roscoe for sale, only the Roscoe 7, Roscoe 8 and Roscoe 9 models get this latest geometry and travel update discussed here. Trek have added an ISCG 05 tab for the mounting of a chain guide and bash guard the top end Roscoe 9 comes with a top guide. The downtube gets dual-density rubber protection to save the frame from rock strikes, while the chainstay gets a double-sided guard to protect against chain slap. The Roscoe still runs a 73mm threaded bottom bracket that can take a 30mm spindle. The cable fastener secures the cables to the inside of the downtube, about half way along it, in an attempt to keep noise to a minimum. Cables aren’t fully guided internally, so may have had a tendency to rattle about within the aluminium frame, causing unwanted noise. Trek have added an internal cable fastener on the downtube. The 2022 Roscoe gets a SRAM UDH hanger, meaning you’ll be able to replace a bent hanger very easily, picking it up from almost any bike shop, not just those that are Trek dealers. The 2022 Trek Roscoe frame has two water bottle mounting positions one on the seat tube and one on the top of the downtube The Roscoe 6 is still the previous frame, so still has the 141mm QR axle. Trek have dropped the 141 Spacing on the Roscoe, upgrading the Roscoe 7, 8 and 9 to Boost 148mm spacing running a thru-axle. Chainstays are shortened from 438mm to 430mm, though the boost spacing rear end still permits a healthy tire clearance of 29″ x 2.6″.įor the 2022 Roscoe, Trek have moved away from a proportional frame design with a consistent SA and rear-centre length across the frame sizes.

I suppose an ankle pad would be an option for a long-term fix.The effective seat tube angle of 74.7° is a major change too, now far more upright than the 70.7° SA of the 2021 iteration. I spaced out the bottom bracket and pedal a bit, which helped, but it didn’t fully solve the problem. This is because it’s right at the level of my back foot in descending position. The only challenge for me, personally, is that I tended to ding my right ankle on the raised chainstay when giving it too much English or getting bounced around on rocky sections. Plus, it doesn’t fit into any of today’s bike category boxes it’s a one-of-a-kind design and riding experience. It’s reminiscent of those early ‘90s front-suspension hardtails - like my trusty Yeti ARC with a RockShox Mag 21 - but the exaggerated tires and modern technology make it feel right at home on today’s black-diamond flow trails. It’s fun because it harks back to why we started riding in the first place.namely, for fun. There’s no question: the Trek Stache is a blast to ride. When all was assembled, it tipped the scale at 26.5 pounds, which is right in line with a high-end trail bike. Other component choices include the Selle SMP 209 saddle and Chris King NoThreadset headset. Many ways to dial and adjust these brakes on the fly Reed
#2020 TREK STACHE 7 PLUS#
Apparently, this is something you have to get used to with a plus bike in order to get the most out of it. It should be noted that I bottommed the rear tire on the rim on pretty much every ride - often making a loud ping! noise - but never flatted or compromised the rim in any way. Altogether, the set weighs about 1,700 grams, and each tire weighs about 900 grams.
#2020 TREK STACHE 7 SERIES#
The M6 series is designed for trail use, and with an internal width of 40mm, the 640s support tires ranging from 2.8 to 3.2 inches. I sent the XTR hubs to ENVE to be built with its M640 hoops. The wheel choice, then, was pretty clear. It’s a hardtail that you punish like a full-suspension bike for the pure fun of it (with the added benefit of efficient climbing out of the saddle). This isn’t an XC hardtail, nor is it a bike for Strava PRs. One of the themes of this Stache build is that everything needs to be burly.
