Test Riding Pat’s new 2023 Trek Roscoe 9, Comparing to the Remedy 8 | Hardtail’s Rip!

2023 Trek Roscoe 9 First Impressions: Overall, it felt smoother and more stable than expected. Even with the stability, it still wanted to be moved and thrown in the air, and felt very comfortable doing so. The bike loves to corner and sits into them very well. The pedaling efficiency is what you would expect from a hard tail, feeling fast and smooth!

Some of the best riding I've seen in a while without going full "Red Bull" . Just the right amount of speed without eating a tree. Great skills

[@chrisinmontreal]

Roscoe 9 was on my short list, ended up going for the Rocky Mountain Growler 50

[@BeachModeBiking]

I hear ya. Rockys are pretty cool too. 🤙🏻

I had a good time watching the video. I plan to buy Roscoe 9, but is it difficult to climb?

[@BeachModeBiking]

No, this bike climbs exceptionally well.

[@Mike-dh4jz]

What size was the bike and how tall are you guys? Always curious with on trail feel sizing…

[@BeachModeBiking]

Both size L bikes and I am 6’, Pat, the owner of the Roscoe, is 5”9-5’10, with a long arm span

Remedy 8 > All bikes 😉

[@ayda2876]

is the 8 still good ? i think it will be my first mtb bike, i found one for 700 euros

[@BeachModeBiking]

The 8 is still a great bike, you would just have room to upgrade components as you go if you wanted.

[@ayda2876]

Hey dude, I'm lurking all the time around a Remedy ... Maybe you can help with sizing, because I'm 180cm and an inseam length of 81cm between M/L and L and your riding style is about the same as mine, at least I‘m trying to get to your level 🤘🏼😅 Cheers ✌🏼

[@BeachModeBiking]

The bike feels small in reach compared to other large bikes. I would go up if you are in between! 🤙🏻

[@BalticMoe]

@@BeachModeBiking Thank you and please keep the videos coming, they are great stuff! 👊🏼

[@ostankovalex1176]

maybe I'm a bit late, but remedy has a very interesting geometry I'd recommend taking an L basically... what remedy is - it's an M when you stand on your pedals with ~455 reach, and an L when you pedal it It's also pretty short - about 1200 wheelbase My thoughts about it - if you like a trail bike with more travel coming from a dirt jump background. It's more of a beefy trail bike than an enduro bike. I'm 179cm, and L fits me perfectly as I don't like very long bikes. As for knockblock, you can get a reverse angleset spacer under your headtube and ditch it. The bike run officially up to 170mm fork anyways.
