If I could afford a hardtail in that price range,I would look for the used Trek Stache 7 or 8! That frame was superior to the Roscoe! Idk why Trek discontinued that awesome bicycle! Greetings from Croatia from Kris 😎
@TheMTB103 24 күн бұрын
The Stache was a fun bike but had very limited uses- no one really rides a 29er plus tire hard tail- it’s more of a specialty bike and that’s why a few people still love them.

This is coming from a guy that has more than 5 high end bikes in his garage. This is a beautiful and wonderful bike for 1,400; that you can upgrade as you go. Now if you are rich maybe you "need"something fancier. I have this bike; the things you want to change are: grips, handlebar, pedals and tyres; the rest in pretty good as it is. Even the brakes are powerful enough (the stopped me on several severe downhills). So the frame alone is almost 1k and this bike with Shimano Drivetrain is 1.4k and it is a bad deal? Oh and this guy has kept the frame. He cannot make up his mind I guess; again, I have this bike and it is a wonderful machine that Chou can even take to blue trails (change the tires for Maxxis, before doing that).

@mariacantero-k9y I suggest you watch the video again and this time pay attention. This video was made when the Roscoe line up was at MSRP. The entire video I’m explaining which bike has the most VALUE in the Roscoe line up - it’s the R9 hands down. The R7 is a great bike for a beginner or someone who is purchasing their 1st “real” mountain bike- I also mentioned that in the video… several times. Not sure why you try to bring up the cost of the frame - it’s $750 from Trek - not $1k. I would love to see these “severe” downhills the Shimano MT200’s “stopped” you on, they are hydraulic brakes - they will eventually stop you - but not the performance an experienced rider would want or need. Glad you love the bike, I have 2 more videos on the Roscoe build I think you would also enjoy. -Tyson

Sorry but I disagree. I did but a Roscoe 7 for $1,399 (on sale), NEW MArzocchi $290 (NEW - I was lucky), MAxxis Tires $ 110 both, Grips $35, Deore Metal DEORE brakes 160, SHIMANO premium brake rotors 35 each -made in JAPAN. The REAR HUB works perfectly. The shock is very good but I have my Marzocchi waiting (I am extending the life of my forks since now I have 2!!!!); Brakes are the equivalent of the Tektros 4 piston (Not bad, not great -but pretty good for my weight: 180 pounds). BUY THE CHEAPEST ONE (ROSCOE 7 NOT 6) AND UPGRADE IT AS YOU GO!!!!!!!!! THIS GUY IS TOTALLY WRONG! HIS MATH IS NOT ACCURATE; I HAVE an updated ROSCOE 7 myself THe Roscoe 8 comes with the SRAN CRAP. My custom ROSCOE 7 is way better than the ROSCOE 9. BETTER TIRES, BETTER BRAKES (SHIMANO 400 sucks); equal fork (MARZOCCHI- Made by FOX).

@TheMTB103 3 ай бұрын
I understand what you are saying - but you keep changing your POV. First you wanted to point out the best bike was the most expensive and now you are saying the cheapest one is the best buy. The R8 has the least value in the line up because the components are mid range at best and it’s so close in price to the 9. The entire point of my video was to show the BEST VALUE in the Roscoe line up. I am part of a Trek Roscoe group and I was tired of seeing riders purchase the cheapest bike (R6), realize the fork sucked - then spend $1k on a fork upgrade. By this point they have spent more than the best spec’d bike from Trek and have an entry level bike with a kick ass fork… But still have low end brakes, wheels, hubs etc. By taking the time to break down the value in each build from Trek new riders can save money and leave with a better bike. As I mentioned in the video - the entry level R7 is a GREAT bike to start out with because you can upgrade years later as they become a better rider, but an experienced rider would probably be disappointed with the R7 out of the box.

Roscoe 7 is a bang for the buck. I guess mine is a 2024 Model currently on sale here at Trek Australia, Satin Black Olive in M/L to be exact. How's the feel of the short stem with a high riser bar? I'm planning to replace the cockpit next Month first and the rest just needs to be worn off all of the stocked Deore Parts and maybe I'll go with the SLX group set except for the shifter which I'm thinking of XT upgrade in the future. Currently, I'm running tyre inserts on my wheels because I'm still using the stocked Line 30 wheel sets and Stamp 2 pedals as an initial upgrade to those cheap pedals.

I think you’re kind of missing the point of this bike… Or you’re just searching for reasons to tear down popular bikes to increase your readership/SEO. You keep referring to the Roscoe 7 as if it is meant for an experience rider who is going to have to throw away components the moment they get the bike higher end components. The build on the bike compared is decent to comparable bikes in the price range. Sure it doesn’t have a phenomenal shock, hub, etc., but for what it is, it’s a decent build. With the 2024 price drop the manufacturer did on the bike, it’s even more attractive. You also don’t mention that this bike has a tapered steerer tube, which is a lot more upgradable than most bikes in this price range that have a straight steerer. Buyers who do want to upgrade to a better shock will have a much easier time because of this feature. Lastly, you refer that to the Roscoe 7 as the bottom model in the series, but that is in fact, the Roscoe 6. I have years of trail/Enduro riding under my belt and I can recognize that this bike would be great for someone starting out, or even a light use for an experienced rider. Your video shows you going through chunky trail and off a small rock drop, both of which this bike will likely be able to handle should the rider choose good lines. Sure, an inexperienced rider will struggle through rock gardens because this bike isn’t made to “float” over such terrain. I’ve ridden pretty gnarly stuff on my old hardtail from the 90s and the bike is still kicking ass after 25 years.

I have 2 other videos on the bike you are more than welcome to watch. The R9 is the best value by far in the Roscoe line up, especially now with the new price point of $1999.99.

The R7 is not designed for advanced and skilled riders, the brakes, fork, and hub are for beginners. The reason I made the video was to show buyers the value among the Roscoe line up. Most bike reviews don’t do this and new riders end up buying the cheaper bike and immediately spend more money on upgrades when they didn’t have to. Right now you can get an R9 from Trek for $2k, this is an absolute steal if you can find one in your size.

@TheMTB103 6 ай бұрын
@sferteirac great question! It’s all about engagement. A low end hub - like the one on the R7 out of the box- has very low points if engagement. Meaning you have to move the crank quite a bit before you deliver any power to the rear wheel. This is also known as slop. When riding technical terrain you need power asap to get you over obstacles. With High engagement hubs you are moving the rear wheel immediately when the slightest force is put down on the pedals/cranks. Let me know if that makes sense..

Would a hardtail be able to handle it?

@in_10z so many new trails since we made this video! But if you can hit any of those we highlighted you will have an amazing time. We are missing bike fest this year. Enjoy it!

This video makes sense if you are super serious biker. But if that was the case there would be some super niche bike that would be better than any in the roscoe line?

@robmingis you CAN find better hardtails on the market than the R9…but they can cost up to $5k. There is no hardtail on the market that is a better value than the Roscoe 9. With the bike market in a major slump some Trek dealers have been letting go new Roscoe 9’s for $2k. As I mentioned the Roscoe 7 is perfect for a 1st time buyer. I made this video so buyers will think about bike value vs just buying the cheaper model.

@@TheMTB103 That's good to know that the 9 is so highly rated. The 7 down here in Australia costs about $1700, a $2000 9 would be splendid.
