Trek have been working on the perfect geometry for 29ers for some time now and you can really feel it in the handling. There is endless grip in the dry, the Bontrager Expert tyres aren’t too capable in wet mud however, they definitely lean towards the race and speed side of the spectrum.
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. 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.

142x12mm 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. It features an E2 tapered head tube, ISCG mounts, press-fit bottom bracket and internal derailleur routing. The frame is built using Treks Alpha Platinum Aluminium technology it offers the lightest strongest alloy frame that they manufacture. 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. 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.
It’s a hardtail 29er with a more playful geometry than an XC bike designed to be fun and lively. The Stache is a new bike this year from Trek, aimed at anyone who likes having fun on the trail.
