Unlike many 29ers, it even comes in an extra small size with a 15.5in (39.4cm) seat tube and 76cm standover. Tapered chainstays are mid-sized rather than massive but a 142x12mm rear axle gives maximum stiffness and security and the brakes sit on easily adjustable post rather than IS brake mounts too.

The press-fit bottom bracket also has ISCG mounts ready for a chain device upgrade but the clutch rear mech and big rubber chainstay protector keep the drivetrain pretty quiet anyway. The asymmetrically flared and offset, concave backed seat tube for wheel and direct-mount front mech clearance is a masterpiece of hydroforming.Ī shaped outlet port for the Stealth seatpost hose and external guides offset the fact that the water bottle bosses stop you sliding the seatpost down a decent distance. The signature tapered E2 head tube and steeply sloped top tube give good crotch clearance despite the big wheels. Trek stache 7: Steve Behr/Future Publishingįrame & equipment: Good value kit but heavy steel-legged fork The front comes up surprisingly easily for manualling over or off stuff too, encouraging much more dynamic riding than most big-wheelers and leaving a big grin on our faces after every ride. While it can feel nervous and fluttery at first, the long wheelbase means it’s still an impressively stable bike once you learn to trust it, and the low bottom bracket means you can really rip it through corners with wheels scrabbling as you search for the exit point. The overall result is that you’ll still be surprised what the Stache can batter through (and at what speed) compared to a smaller-wheeled suspension bike. The G2 geometry also gives a distinctively light feel to the steering, so you have little trouble turning the big front wheel in sharply, even with a 90mm stem. The rear wheel screens out more chatter compared to some smaller-wheeled bikes, too, although you definitely get more of a wallop off bigger stuff than with some. The fat carcass 29er tyres also roll over rough stuff really well for serious speed sustain once you’ve got them going. While it’s not light, the Recon fork is smooth enough and the extra 20mm of travel over most 29er hardtails makes a big difference in control and confidence on big drops, rocks and logs. It puts a lot of torque and traction down on climbs and marshy ground, too, clearing with ease several test moorland sections that have stumped us for a while.

This bike has a maximum total weight limit (combined weight of bicycle, rider, and cargo) of 300 pounds (136 kg).There’s more than enough stiffness through the frame to recruit every sinew from shoulders to soles of the feet to getting the wheels moving, and it responds significantly quicker if you go full gas.
