This cheap Recon has steel – rather than alloy – stanchions, though, so they’re not light and the rebound adjuster is a little plastic flag up inside the fork rather than a proper dial. It comes with Gary Fisher’s custom G2 geometry between the 15mm axle and the tapered steerer too. While most trail 29ers still stick with a 100mm (3.9in) travel fork to avoid jacking the front end too high, Trek have properly committed to increased control with a 120mm stroke fork. The metallic finish still got lots of love from onlookers though. The translucent paint is very thin in some areas, such as inside the dropouts and rear brake mount and more obviously on the front mech mount. Unlike many 29ers, it even comes in an extra small size with a 15.5in (39.4cm) seat tube and 76cm standover.
Tapered chainstays are mid-sized rather than massive but a 142x12mm rear axle gives maximum stiffness and security and the brakes sit on easily adjustable post rather than IS brake mounts too. Its built with wide bars, 1×11, avid. Here are the specs: Frame - Alpha Platinum Aluminum, Boost148, Midstay, tapered head tube, internal derailleur & dropper post routing, horizontal sliding dropouts, G2 Geometry Fork - RockShox Yari.

The press-fit bottom bracket also has ISCG mounts ready for a chain device upgrade but the clutch rear mech and big rubber chainstay protector keep the drivetrain pretty quiet anyway. The head angle of the bike is fairly steep and the chainstays are short with 420mm on the big wheel size. The asymmetrically flared and offset, concave backed seat tube for wheel and direct-mount front mech clearance is a masterpiece of hydroforming.Ī shaped outlet port for the Stealth seatpost hose and external guides offset the fact that the water bottle bosses stop you sliding the seatpost down a decent distance. The signature tapered E2 head tube and steeply sloped top tube give good crotch clearance despite the big wheels.
Trek stache 7: Steve Behr/Future Publishingįrame & equipment: Good value kit but heavy steel-legged fork The front comes up surprisingly easily for manualling over or off stuff too, encouraging much more dynamic riding than most big-wheelers and leaving a big grin on our faces after every ride. Alpha Platinum Aluminum, Boost148, Midstay, tapered head tube, internal derailleur & dropper post. While it can feel nervous and fluttery at first, the long wheelbase means it’s still an impressively stable bike once you learn to trust it, and the low bottom bracket means you can really rip it through corners with wheels scrabbling as you search for the exit point. The overall result is that you’ll still be surprised what the Stache can batter through (and at what speed) compared to a smaller-wheeled suspension bike. The G2 geometry also gives a distinctively light feel to the steering, so you have little trouble turning the big front wheel in sharply, even with a 90mm stem. The rear wheel screens out more chatter compared to some smaller-wheeled bikes, too, although you definitely get more of a wallop off bigger stuff than with some. The fat carcass 29er tyres also roll over rough stuff really well for serious speed sustain once you’ve got them going.
Bike and frame weights are based off pre-production painted frames at time of publication. This bike has a maximum total weight limit (combined weight of bicycle, rider, and cargo) of 300 pounds (136 kg). While it’s not light, the Recon fork is smooth enough and the extra 20mm of travel over most 29er hardtails makes a big difference in control and confidence on big drops, rocks and logs. M - 14.26 kg / 31.44 lbs (with tubes) Weight limit. It puts a lot of torque and traction down on climbs and marshy ground, too, clearing with ease several test moorland sections that have stumped us for a while.
