This Transformed My Trek Roscoe 9

[@Mustang-mb7cg]

Underrated channel. I just picked up a X-Caliber 9. Tried the Roscoe and didn’t feel as nimble for the pavement that I’ll ride with the family 70% of the time. Now I’m wondering if I would get used to the Roscoe if I just rode it longer than the 5 mins I demoed it? Anyways I do agree with the handle bars being too wide. I’m curious if the guys would do this mod for me at the local Trek shop…great video! I envy your trails as I live in the Houston area lol

[@charlesholland6851]

Looks like some sweet trails. As for me in south Alabama, the city sidewalks have better chunk and scenery. 😝

[@free2day1147]

Love the scenery. For me, that's half the reason I ride. It's half the reason I watch your videos. You're doing excellent work. Keep it up my friend.

[@dopamine-87]

Awesome trail Matty! I've had my Roscoe 9 for 3 weeks now and the first thing i did after riding it was get some 50mm riser bars (which only just fit due to tight internal cabling) and trimmed them down to 740mm. And put new grips on. My wrists took a hella beating the first couple of times i rode it without the new bars. #roscoegang

[@TrashyButClassy1776]

Wow I didn’t realize how nice bear creek trail is. My brother always tells me about that trail. I’m the garbage man down there I didn’t even realize how close I am to it.

[@GregAspenson]

Trimmed mine to 760 as well. I’m sure it would feel twitchy with a shorter stem though. I have a 50mm. My XC trails are narrow and trees are close so 780 felt scary going fast and I did clip a tree and crashed once. Turning feels much quicker as well.

[@reggieringgoldjr68]

It's like I'm on a Video Game watching you run that Trail Man, I'm Turning and looking for Trees 😅😅😅😅😅.......🤝🏾🇺🇲💪🏾👍🏾The Roscoe HT can Handle It All.

[@jeromep4148]

I find the climb at this trail a killer - find myself pushing my bike in a bunch of sections. How do you make out?

[@bdubs1967]

This is a great addition to LotB and just all the great trails we have here. Good riding.

[@mheald111]

Fantastic video, amazing trail. Really appreciate the quality of your content.

[@daryljohnson3626]

I got a trek roscoe 8 because of you Matty, it’s become my new favorite thing. Maybe I’ll see you on the trail one of these days if you’re in the Loveland/Fort Collins area

[@MattyActive]

Thank you I really appreciate you watching the videos. Those places are definitely on my list so it’s definitely possible!

[@reggiefuentes4599]

I hit the new trail for the first time this week. It was pretty fun. I definitely need to work on hitting berms. I don't get there very much often anymore just because it is too busy. I miss the good ol days

[@colinl2908]

That is a nice length trail which seems to go on for ages. Amazing area you have there with streams too.

[@ptdJ3KyKzLPr]

Love how your shirt matches the paint on the bike. Cool video!

[@50whatnomadtravelnursemtb5]

I’ve tried 780 bars too, 760 is perfect for someone around 5’8” or so.

[@Lumenez]

I’m 6’1 with about a 6’4 wingspan. I just put the range bars on my marlin 6 and the difference is amazing

[@Barnshal]

Good job on including that B-roll, awesome scenery. I would love to try out a super long flow trail that one!

[@andrewreza4681]

The nature cut scenes enhance already great editing, thanks for getting us some high quality Roscoe content 👍👍

great content Matty, gotta love that berm after berm action

[@elmingram4267]

Hey Matty, You are making me think about moving to CO, just for all the awesome CO trails! What is your opinion of the best area to stab out from for all the best options?

[@mirondavis1981]

Dig how you take the burms! I learnt something today. Thanks for the great content! #Roscoefan4life

[@simonsays5979]

I'm just the opposite on my 9. If my bars are shorter than 800 I feel scrunched up

[@ninjascoob]

How do you go down at that speed and not crash 🤣

[@mattj6676]

I like the scenery, when I ride it's rarely just about the ride. It's not just that you have nice trails, and tons of them, but they're supported. Someone put a lot of work into maintaining that trail, it's perfectly groomed!

[@shellderp]

780 feels a bit wide to me too, but I might still get used to it

[@reggiesanders1284]

Wow! Beautiful views on your ride!

[@christopherward9230]

You can't beat a dry empty trail with a blue sky as your flying along Matty 🚵🏿‍♂️

[@lancearchibald6499]

Love my 760mm bars. Alot if people think shorter than 770 is too short now but I enjoy not having to worry about tree tapping every 20 seconds and makes bike feel more agile(for me anyway)

I got a new hardtail 3 weeks ago ( Giant talon 1), then found your channel, i love how easy going your videos feel.

[@reggiesanders1284]

I can’t believe I’m writing this but that looks like fun!!!!

[@juanhidalgo7043]

Nice trails. My flat bars are always 750-760mm wide even on my enduro bike.

[@Ghost-Trek]

760-780mm bars seem to be the sweet spot for mixed riding. Glad it worked for you!

[@bobbybrandnew3277]

760-780 right ?

[@_Zane__]

Im not really liking the trek roscoe 9 handlebars... the back sweep is uncomfortable on my wrists

[@MattyActive]

I upgraded my bars to the Pnw range bars which are way more comfortable in my opinion

[@johnnyrocket1320]

Matt - I highly recommend swapping out your TranzX dropper lever with the PNW Loam Lever 2.0 . Its a direct replacement and is 100% compatible with your existing TranzX cables. Color match in Grey . The smoothness and positioning is worth the change. I did it on my '23 Roscoe 8. Its MONEY.

[@rider65]

🙄 pnw droppers are WAY overpriced & are not of good quality at all...🤢🤮👎

[@johnnyrocket1320]

@@rider65 never said anything about PNW dropper posts. I specifically said their dropper LEVER was excellent.

[@jeromep4148]

Lair O’ the Bear is one of my favorites when I visit my daughter in CO. In May I rode the trail and it looked like they were building a new new trail. Is Rutabaga the new trail? Is it bi-directional or one way? Bikes and hikers? I really like it when you take the time to showcase the trail systems you ride - you are very fortunate to live in such a beautiful area.

[@gainknowledgeandinsight]

Totally agree it’s the main reason why I love this hobby / form of exercise so much! I went from one bike to 4 because I love it so much - exercise while out in nature marveling over its beauty

[@abendiaye3330]

Have you considered getting a truck? It makes transporting bikes so much easier. You don't need to remove the wheels or anything. You can also transport 6 bikes at once.

[@Sixbillion1]

There’s a genuineness about you and enthusiasm about riding in your videos I really enjoy. Subbed

[@matthewvang71]

Nice video!! How tall are you? I'm still trying to figure out how short I should cut my handlebars. ATM mine is at 820mm 😢

It definitely is. Just try to go super early or in the afternoon while everyone is at work. Still packed but plenty of parking

Go early and on a weekday. It also might ease up a little now that Trestle is open for the summer.
