I love this bike, and I’m hoping to get either a Roscoe 8 or 9 as soon as I can afford it. Great review, it’s great to know the good and not so good things after a couple of years of use. I think it’s a little mean of you to highlight the mech hanger as an issue though, bending under impact is exactly what they are supposed to do. Thanks for a very informative review though 👍 Chris.

New roscoes are looking nice!!! I’d love to hear which one you get. I just wanted people to be aware of that hanger, even though it’s an easy fix. In any case, I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and reaching out!! 🤙

I’ll definitely let you know once I get one. Hopefully going to go with the 9, love the Fox forks.

I put a set of cushcore inserts on my roscoe 8. Made a big difference in the feel and handling of the bike. With the 27.5+ tires they are a pain to install and i will take it to my LBS when its time for new tires.

Nice! I had to google that cause I didn't know what that was haha. Looks pretty sweet. What a great invention. Thanks for watching!

I always kept an extra derailer hanger in my bag on the trails cause they do break while you're riding

Informative video. What size is your bike? I thought they only made the roscoe in a 29er.

Thanks for watching! Mine is a 27.5. It’s a 2021 version of the Roscoe 8. Looks like the newest ones are 29’s. To be honest I really like the 27.5. Just feels like I have more control. Especially on jumps and drops

@@mountainbond1743 ahh, I see. Wish they still made the 27.5 version on the Roscoe 8. I already have a full suspension 29er.

Yah I’m surprised they changed is to a 29. I’m sure is you really wanted one you can find a used 2021 Roscoe for way cheaper 🤷♂️. I myself need to get a full suspension some day

Is that Mulsanne Blue or something else?
@mountainbond17434 ай бұрын
The color is Dark Aquatic/Metallic Gunmetal! I’m not sure if they still have this color but I love it. Really caught my eye the first time I saw it in person

@@mountainbond1743 Haha. I literally just put the deposit down on a Roscoe 8 in Mulsanne Blue. For 2023 they didn't have Dark Aquatic. Happy trails, literally.
