Trek stache 7 specs crack#

Trek have specced the Stache with SUNringle DUROC rims- we’re interested to see how they perform throughout the review. The Bontrager Chupacabra tyres have a tread pattern that sits somewhere between a Bontrager XR2 and XR3, and are a good fit out of the box for the Stache. The aluminium Stache 7 retails for $3299, and includes a Manitou Magnum fork with 34mm stanchions and 120mm of travel, a Sram groupset consisting of 1×11 GX gearing and Level Trail brakes and most of the finishing kit is handled by Bontrager. 29+ wheels means the 3″ tyres are meatier than the barbeque on Australia Day. Tyre pressure setup on the Stache is more critical than for most other bikes, so we’ve been experimenting with different setups to get the best combination of traction, tyre stability and rolling efficiency.

The huge contact patch of the tyres, which can be run at very low pressures when setup tubeless (the Stache ships with rim tape installed as well as tubeless valves) gives insane cornering grip as well as small bump sensitivity to compensate somewhat for the rigid rear end. What advantages do the 29+ wheels provide? The Stranglehold Dropout’s elevated chainstay features a protective layer to protect the chainstay from the chain slap. Tensioners for singlespeed setup as well as chainstay length adjustment allows for multiple wheel sizes and gearing options.

Yes! The Stache’s ‘Stranglehold’ dropouts allow for the bike to be configured in 29+, 27.5+, regular 29”, and even as a singlespeed!ĭespite the Stache being more open to change that Donald Trump’s policies, we would definitely recommend giving the Stache a good crack in its original 29+ guise, as the benefits of the 29+ tyres are really what make this bike shine.

Is there an option to swap wheel sizes if I don’t like the 29+ wheels? The Bontrager Chupacabra tyres are named after the legendary Latin American goat-slayer, and hold the key to slaying trails aboard the Stache. Is this even possible? Could Trek be onto something here? Stay tuned for the review where we’ll discuss this further. These attributes mean that the riding style required to get the most out of the Stache is different to how you would ride a standard dual-suspension trail bike. The Stache’s strengths include insane levels of traction and a geometry aimed at being able to throw those big hoops around at will. Headset - FSA IS-2, 1-1/8˝ top, 1.This is a question we’ll answer more in-depth in the review, however, what we’ve learned in our time on the Stache so far is that asking if the bike replicates the abilities of a dual suspension trail bike is not the right question to be asking.

Specs are pretty much stock, except for an upgraded GX rear derailleur. I recently purchased a Trek 1120, which is specifically for bikepacking, so I'm selling this one. This is such a fun hardtail to ride, with monster 29 x 3 tires, a raised super short chainstay, and a 120mm fork, and it can handle more technical trails than you realize. The scratches on the fork are on the lowers, the stanchions are in good condition and the fork works perfectly. It's in good condition, but it does have some superficial scratches on the frame and fork. Size is Medium, and the color is Cobra Red. I have a used, but in good condition, 2019 Trek Stache 7 for sale.
