2022 Trek Roscoe 6 vs 7 vs 8 vs 9!! What’s The Difference??

Check out the Roscoes here: bit.ly/3q7WwRO
The new Trek Roscoe Lineup has arrived and here is the 2022 Trek Roscoe Comparison!!! In this video I cover all of the changes and updates to the Trek Roscoe lineup from 2021 to 2022, and compare all 4 new bikes with one another, which includes the 2022 Trek Roscoe 6, Roscoe 7, Roscoe 8, and the brand new Trek Roscoe 9. I cover every single component difference from the prices and colors to the suspension forks and drivetrains, to give you a thorough comparison that’ll hopefully help you decide which bike is the best for you!

Corrections / Updates to video: 1) The fork on the Roscoe 8 actually uses 35mm wide stanchions for even better strength.

[@dustinadkins8407]

Got a 6 a few months ago, I haven’t been into biking for about 20 years. So the roscoe 6 was more than every bike I’ve ever bought combined. So far I am really enjoying it, but wish I would have watched this first, I would have bit the bullet and gone for the 7.

@@TalalipopMTB can I ask how long it takes for an average store to get a bike in by the time Trek actually releases it? Did they already pre-order it or like how does it work. Thanks :)

I was just trying to order myself the Roscoe 7 yesterday at my local trek dealer but they said they wouldn’t take delivery of that bike until November 2022 so I opted for the Roscoe 8 which they already have on order and I will have it in January. I am sure I will be happy since my current mt bike is 20 years old lol.

So how’s she treating you?

[@andreasm2882]

@@EricTFDC unfortunately I am still waiting for the 8. My current delivery date is May 9. But hopefully it arrives sooner.

@william nguyen oh man the Roscoe 8 is awesome. I am riding so much and having a blast.

[@kyleholman8791]

Great comparison video. I'm getting into mountain biking on a very tight budget so I went with the Roscoe 6. It's a shame the frame isn't the same as the higher end models but I guess they have to save money somewhere. I will certainly upgrade to something nicer once I have more money when I finish college and in my career. The 6 should get me by until then.

[@TalalipopMTB]

Thank you! And yeah that’s a good choice in your situation for sure, glad it’s been working out so far!

[@jordanoliveto5863]

Changing the frame is essentially free

[@Yeowie80]

Roscoes always get the best colorways. No rack mounts on the 7-9 puts an end to having the most bad ass commuter. Also, looks like the 7 is the best for me

[@TalalipopMTB]

Yes they do :D

[@ShahnewazYT]

Finally! Boost Hubs!

[@TalalipopMTB]

Yess!!

[@JG......]

I'd pick the 7 too, in matte black. Sick bike!

[@TalalipopMTB]

Good choice :DD

[@ertai222]

It's the best color. The other 2 options are definitely meh and an acquired taste since they're so loud.

[@practicalguy973]

I'm on a bike with a 32t chain ring and 11t smallest on the rear cassette. It's still not as fast as I want down some gradual downhills where I'm still pedaling hard. I'm on 27.5" so hoping a 29" tire will add a little speed. I may end up with a 34t chain ring upgrade on any bike I buy. I don't hill climb too much in my local area.

[@asianrulez201]

Same

[@Fatgunner]

Lol and I just got my 7 yesterday 🤔 still super happy with it tho

[@TalalipopMTB]

Sick!!

[@TheStinkySaddle]

Thanks for sharing! Does the Sacramento Trek location have any Roscoe models available in size small?

[@TalalipopMTB]

Of course! And currently we have not seen any of the 2022 Roscoes, and don’t have any 2021 models in a size small

[@jeremytee2919]

For me the wheel upgrade at 8 is huge,

[@kenshiro882002]

roscoe 7 best value for money

[@pingpongballz5998]

I think so

[@hotrockin197]

The pins that go thru the caliper are a touch longer. How do you get hold of them if you need replacements. The ones that come with the shimano pads are too small.

[@richieanthes8529]

so the roscoe 7,8, and 9 will come with tubless? Btw love your channel man

[@TalalipopMTB]

Yes! And thank you :DD

[@milk294]

Which Roscoe is best for climbing? I’m thinking about the Roscoe 9. Please advise.

[@terrybull4604]

I can't find diffinitive info on the rear hub. Does the 7 utilize the rapid drive hub or shimano and what engagement? The website does not describe

[@christosvasiliadis5895]

Looking at the 2022 roscoe 6 and the marlin 7 + buying a dropper post, which one would you get? They are similar except for the fork, rim, tire, tire size, and seat post. I’m a novice to mountain biking, so your insight would be helpful

[@carlostovar8585]

Roscoe 6 👍

[@kenny_kaos]

So will a 27.5+ fit in the frame of the new frame rather than the 6 that is just the previous generation frame?

I currently ride xc and am getting into enduro. I currently own a fuel ex 9.8 and use it for all my riding. I’m looking to get a hard tail for xc and will likely upgrade my fuel to a bigger enduro bike. I love the roscoes but do u think they’ll hold up for xc or should I look for something lighter

[@salamonahmed6735]

Better to go for marlins or x. Cals. As they are xc oriented

[@tapia014]

Hello, I’m in Dallas Tx, trying to find a Roscoe 7. Unfortunately everyone is saying it won’t come in until Spring 2022. From what you know, has the bike been released and if not when might it get released? Any idea what’s a quicker way to get it before then? 😅😅

[@TalalipopMTB]

It has been released but there are still a lot of part shortages and bicycle companies have been pretty backed up. Unfortunately those ETA dates are pretty far out :(

I was disappointed because the top 3 bikes all have 29 inch tires , I was looking for a bike with 27.5 because I test rode a 29 and a 27.5 side by side and I preferred the 27.5 because it launches faster. Back to the drawing board.
