Not sure if a copy of another post or their own design.īeing a Shimano Brake person, I’m not totally convinced by the Guide RS brakes, they are hard to set up without rub, feel is good but power on 180 discs merely average. I am determined to give them a good time to grow on me since they are well reviewed. The rear tyres has punctured twice, last Sunday requiring a “sticky strip” kit repair in the main tread area so while the tyres are decently light, they may be too fragile for rugged trail use.The Stache is a new bike this year from Trek, aimed at anyone who likes having fun on the trail. It’s a hardtail 29er with a more playful geometry than an XC bike designed to be fun and lively. It should appeal to the hardcore hardtail fans out there, although it is only a 120mm travel bike those wheels are going to make it feel much more capable in bigger terrain. Trek have been building great 29ers for years now, and when this one arrived it looked stunning and instantly called out to be ridden, and ridden hard. The frame is built using Treks Alpha Platinum Aluminium technology it offers the lightest strongest alloy frame that they manufacture. It features an E2 tapered head tube, ISCG mounts, press-fit bottom bracket and internal derailleur routing.

The Stache is fast, that’s the first thing you notice about it, and yes 29ers are quick and all that, but here the geometry combines with the lightweight and stiff frame to offer some blistering acceleration.ġ42x12mm rear axle keeps the back end stiff and there is a stealth routing for the dropper post.įront suspension is looked after by a Fox Evolution Series 32 Float w/CTD, E2 tapered steerer and a 15QR thru-axle. Just a couple of pedal strokes from the very responsive drivetrain and you are up to cruising speed and already enjoying the bike.įor a 29er the wheelbase is quite short, the compact rear end, 68.3° head angle and “short” travel fork combine to keep things playful as far as the corners go.
