The best geo going at BD is their Ti stuff, both road and mtn.but they are not going to be carrying those going forward.

For some reason they do this a lot.did it on the hal boost plus bikes too. I do see the shorter reach and ETT lengths. What's the problem purported to be?ĮDIT: I see that it does have kind of a wonky front triangle geo. If you can read a geometry chart, set up your own bike, and know what you're getting into, they can be a good value and comparatively inexpensive way to see if you're 'into' a configuration and you don't want to sink a bunch of money into from the get-go.įrom a more objective standpoint, the geo is very similar to the alloy Staches. The rest is.well, what everyone else uses. Wheel sets (particularly hubs) tend to be throw-away, as are bars and stem. The aluminum frames are usually made by Kenesis, which has been a high quality and rock solid mfg from my experiences. I understand neither the vitriol nor the fanboi-ism toward these things. Three carbon Superfly 100 SL models will be offered, with the aluminum Superfly 100 AL models still offered with new colors and components.Interesting. In addition, the Superfly 100 SL touts the ability to run either RockShox or Fox remote shock lockouts, internally through the frame. As noted, the Superfly 100 SL also receives the roll-wrap seat tube and carbon seat post clamp to keep things compliant, and snug out back.

Granted, the frame’s rear wheel travel did come down from 110 to 100mm, in order to provide a more race oriented full suspension rig, none the less, it’s still impressive. That’s a 22% reduction in weight if you’re counting. It's a big-wheeled fun wagon ready to go anywhere and take on any trail.2016 Trek Stache 7 Single Speed Mounta.

This mountain bike marries fun and confidence. Not to be left out, the Superfly 100 was put on a similar diet, resulting in the 1650g Superfly 100 SL. Stache 7 is a playful 29' trail hardtail with 3 mid-fat tires, a ridiculously capable build, and a robust fork with 120mm of travel. Top it all off with a new carbon (yes, carbon) seat post clamp, and you have what is sure to be one of the lightest production 29’r hardtails on the market. While more stiff, supposedly both Superfly SLs are more compliant as well, thanks largely to the new roll-wrap seat tube which apparently doubles (!) the frames vertical compliance. Of course, just because it’s lighter doesn’t mean it’s flimsy, as Trek claims the carbon wonder bike boasts increased stiffness thanks to a 142×12 rear thru axle, and a repositioned brake mount that bridges the gap between the chain and seat stays. As a result, the changes to the Superfly SL meant a 30% reduction in surface area and a resulting weight of just 896 grams. The Apollo project meant the entire bike was subject to scrutiny, and eventually change. Meaning, that simply tinkering with one or two parts at a time, trying to trim as many grams as possible from each simply wouldn’t work. Trek states that in order to take as much weight as possible out of the Superfly and Superfly 100, a holistic approach was needed. Does Trek have something up its sleeve for later in the year? Or has the Roscoe 29 been shelved for eternity? Stay tuned on that one. Strangely, there is still no mention of the rumored Roscoe long travel 29er. Initially, two models will be offered, one with a Fox QR15 fork and XT Shadow Plus rear derailleur and matching green Race Face Turbine crank, while the other will be equipped with a RockShox Maxxle 15mm, Shimano SLX Shadow Plus rear derailleur, and Race Face Ride cranks.

When it comes to 29ers, the Stache marks a departure from Trek’s XC oriented bikes of the past, in favor of a more capable, fun, 29’r do-it-all hard tail. Add in stealth dropper post routing, ISCG 05 mounts, pressfit BB, tapered head tube, a 142×12 rear thru axle and you are left with one rad stache, er, bike. The Stache is an all new 29’r hardtail with a purpose build trail geometry built around short chain stays, 120mm fork, and a 2×10 drivetrain.

Presumably named for the incredible handlebar mustache Ross Schnell has been sporting for some time now, the Stache is all about what Schnell does best: having fun on a bike. Trek’s 896g hardtail 29er frame is a pretty big deal, but we’ll get to that in a second – let’s talk about the Stache first. Ross Schnell with a mean 'stache on his Stache.
