Correction, The Trek Roscoe 9 is PERFECTION

[@Darryl.Harris]

Bruuuh, I've been on the fence about purchasing a bike for over six months now. After watching this video, I pulled the trigger. Good stuff, thx.

[@hippiebits2071]

It's really fun listening to your commentary. You sound like a really down to earth guy.

[@Toastedyogurt]

I'm liking the different camera angles you are trying out! Glad to see you enjoying the Roscoe. I just got my Roscoe 7 last weekend and it is so sick. Can't wait to take it out this weekend. Probably going to head to the Erie Singletrack, but I really want to check out the Betasso Preserve soon. The shade from the trees must be nice on these hot and sunny days

[@richardharrold8658]

Diagnosed with a seizure disorder lost my liscence and bought my first mtb since 2000. I wish I could ride with you man. Love the channel

[@mattj6676]

Those trails are amazing. Don't be afraid to mess with the settings while you ride, put another click or two into it to see how it feels, then you can just click it back. It will help you better feel what a bouncy fork or overly stiff one feels like so you'll recognize it. Usually you'll just find something you like and leave it, but some trails might look for a stiffer setting, and some might look for softer. Some folks lock the top control when climbing and open (soften) it when going down. It doesn't have to be complicated, but you can mess with those things on the trail without doing anything that needs tools to fix.

Picked up my Roscoe 9 in that colour two weeks ago. Love it.. Awesome aggressive hard tail. Your videos helped with the decision brother. Big love from London. ✊

[@AndrewSmyk]

Deciding between the Specialized Comp Expert 29 (all black) and the Roscoe 9. Don't really dig the sand/olive colour on the Roscoe 9. Wish in came in the crimson that is available in Europe. The high engagement hubs are a big bonus on climbs and obstacles.

[@jakebeaudrie]

The key to Betasso is parking at the Link trailhead, climbing that and catching it when both trails are running clockwise. You'll get the most/best flowy downhill. Add in the connector to the 4 mile canyon trailhead and it's super fun. Descending Betasso link is one of the more challenging descents in our area.

[@MattyActive]

Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely do that next time

Looks great . I like the 2.6 wide tires front and rear , ( I wish My slash 9.8 could fit 2.6 " in the back ) . I must say the color is cool too . So many paint schemes today look like a bad mushroom trip from 1969 .

[@chipaway]

just ordered my Roscoe 9 today. hopefully will be getting it next week. Thanks for the videos. really helped my decision. I live near Rome Italy and it should be just perfect for most of the trails around here. I’m 176cm and got the size M/L. they had a Roscoe 7 in store and it felt much better compared to the size L, which might be a better choice on a full sus, but on a hardtail I think I’m good with this one. I will put up a video though. Got the crimson red color btw.

Thank you I really appreciate it! Any version of the Roscoe would be great for that!

The more I see the 9 the more I love it.

[@bz1429]

Let’s Goooooo! Betasso is perfect for a hardtail. Benjamin Loop is fun and so is descending Betasso Link. Good to see you getting more into the setup of your bike.

[@robgoffroad]

Man that's a nice trail! I wish we had some of those around here. I'm about to upgrade the fork on my Rockhopper Elite 29.. it came with a 100mm Judy. I have a Silver 35 R leftover from when I upgraded my Turbo Levo, so I'm going to change its travel down to 100-120mm and see how it is. The Rockhopper has a much steeper head angle than your Roscoe... your Roscoe is much closer to my Turbo Levo's setup. BTW, you are a way better rider than I am!

[@TheFaz793]

Rockhopper's head tube angle is 68.5 degrees while roscoe 7, 8 and 9 are at 65 degrees. However, I owned a rockhopper 2021 and it's definitely a great bike. I miss riding it!

[@toddduncan4477]

Brother that is an awesome bike .. I got rid of my Marlin some time ago and bought a 2021 Trek Slash 7 if you can remember I asked you a few questions about that a year ago or so .. Now I think I will venture into the local bike stores here in Baltimore, Maryland once again in search of a Trek Roscoe to test ride and possibly purchase because Matty now has me wanting one now 🤣

[@MattyActive]

I bet that Slash is a lot of fun! I think you should definitely check out a Roscoe if you get the chance

[@ChrisBundy17]

Great camera angle. Love being able to see what the hands are doing as the wheel tracks the trail ahead.

[@50whatnomadtravelnursemtb5]

Seems like a fun bike, love those trails in CO...so many good ones! I'm one that has to look to youtube videos to help adjust the travel and rebound and stuff like that...these forks and shocks with both rebound and compression adjustments can be overwhelming. Setting sag is a big deal too.

[@shineperishingrepublic]

I'm currently on a Marlin 6 that's completely stock and I'm now I'm saving up for an upgrade. these videos are making me think the roscoe 9 is what I need. I've also looked at the Orbea Oiz FS but man...I just love hardtails

[@MattyActive]

Nice! I still love my Marlin 6. If you’re looking to get something more aggressive I can vouch for all 3 Roscoes 7-9 are all great choices

[@linguiniman2250]

I work at a shop and recently ordered a Roscoe 7. I hope it works like a dream… just like the 9👍. that paint job is unbeatable though.

[@MattyActive]

Im sure it’s a beast! I saw a Roscoe 7 for the first time 2 days ago and the color is so sick!

[@kiwibob72]

Hey Matty, quite interested that your running 100PSI in your fork at your stated 185Lb weight. Not that I have ridden a 36 (got the 34 Rythym on my EX8), but as I out weight you by over 100Lb, I'm amazed your running the weight so high (I run 90Lb and 3 volume spacers on my For 34, and I've not bottomed it out on my local nana trails at all - before the volume spacers were added, the fork had around 110PSI in it. - Of note, a bigger internal like you get on the 36 should mean you can run lighter pressure than say the 34 for the same 'feel/performance'). Have you tried downloading the tuning manual from Fox's website, it's a great place to start when setting up a fork, and you'd odds on be better off listening to the experts rather than us weekend warriors! ;)

[@boydcrowder4436]

Matty, that's sweet. The only problem I see with the Roscoe 9 is that its leaking into full suspension pricing. Unless your using the Marlin to simply ride around town, dump it. Save your $$ for the real mountain bikes you have.

[@MattyActive]

That’s what I’m debating now honestly, I’m thinking of swapping the tires on the Marlin to the polygon then selling the Marlin but not sure yet

Hi Matty.......the video is great. Not shaky at all. Your camera must have good stabilization on it Question about the Roscoe 9 vs the Roscoe 7. ( latest 2022-23 models ) I believe you have ridden both. Do you feel the 7 is way undergunned with the 32 mm stanchion front forks vs the 36 on the 9 ? Any noticeable difference in the function of the brakes ? I think those are the two biggest differences between the two. Would a person have regrets buying the 7 after riding it or is it just fine for a first time mountain biker ? I am currently a road rider and thinking of dabbling into mountain biking at the age of 66. Retirement is great ! Thanks, I enjoy your channel.

[@MattyActive]

I think the Roscoe 7 is a great bike, between the two it all comes down to what kind of trails you’ll be riding. You said you thinking of dabbling into mountain biking so I’m guessing you’re a beginner. If that’s the case I would say go with the Roscoe 7 because it’s great value and quality specs. I don’t think you would be riding really bumpy trails as a beginner so you won’t notice the difference as much between the two bikes. But if you think you’ll learn fast and do more difficult stuff in the immediate future I would go with the Roscoe 9

[@Toastedyogurt]

I just got the Roscoe 7 and I think it's perfect. The brakes really aren't bad, I think when people get used to the 4 piston breaks they go back and think it's terrible. But it works fine for me. Might even be better for a beginner because less chance of locking up your wheels and skidding.

[@MattyActive]

@@Toastedyogurt the 7 is awesome! You’re not riding crazy tech sections you’ll be fine on pretty much any trail

[@johnnyrocket1320]

Matty - can you ride the Roscoe long distances without being fatigued or uncomfortable? As compared to the Marlin . I own a '21 Marlin 7 and its very comfortable for long rides as a normal bike. I'm thinking hard about the Roscoe 9 as my only bike but I'm concerned it's not suitable for daily rides. I appreciate your response.

[@MattyActive]

I’ve been really comfortable on short and long rides with the Roscoe 9. I would say if you want it to be more efficient for a daily ride, go with some less knobby tires and it’ll be great. The stock tires are really grippy and would definitely slow you down for long rides and as a daily rider

[@johnnyrocket1320]

@Matty Active . I'm looking for a more capable trail bike that can pull double duty with family rides. It's looking like the Roscoe 9 is worth trying out. Thanks brother.
