If the Trek Stache looks like a bike that would be fun where you ride then it's probably one of the most fun bikes for where you ride. We're well over a decade removed from the idea that everyone needs a burly bike with lots of travel and as much as I'm passionate about hardtails with bleeding edge slack head tube angles, hugely aggressive (slow rolling) tires and DH brakes, I recognize that that's not an ideal setup for most places. Maximizing the Stache experience is all about being honest about where and how the bike will be ridden. Seat tube 419mm Effective top tube 600mm Head tube 103mm Chain stay 445mm Wheel base 1128mm BB.

Or maybe call it $3000 (USD) with an X-Fusion Manic dropper post and the air system in the fork upgraded to Manitou's awesome Dorado air system. Bontrager gear finishes off the rest of the bike, a Rhythm Pro 7 degree stem keeps the Race Lite Low Riser bars in place and a Bontrager Evoke 3 titanium railed saddle is held in place with a Bontrager Rhythm Elite seatpost.

It is dialed out of the box and I think it offers a lot of value for $2700 (USD).

Location dependent I could definitely see it being my only bike - with a 3' DHF 3c on tap for road trips and I know a lot of riders for whom it would be a great second bike. 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). It sacrifices some level of intuitiveness for a very clean appearance and excellent performance and after I'd used it once it was fast to adjust the wheelbase at home in the shop. M - 14.26 kg / 31.44 lbs (with tubes) Weight limit. I did play around with the Trek's wheelbase via their Strangehold system. This is unfortunate because the conditions where it shines parallel perfect trails for one gear riding.

Unfortunately, the stock XD driver wheel and a lack of a Boost replacement of sufficient rim width prevented me from testing the Stache as a single speed. The ultimate mix of traction, support and comfort comes from airing the tires down until they feel a bit squirrely pushing into corners and then adding a few pumps of air at a time until they don't. At this point, I was bottoming the ultra supple Chupacabra tires onto the rims more often than I would have liked on my personal bike but the ride quality was excellent. With the Huck Norris system installed I kept the air pressure in the same zone and rode on with a feeling of impunity. Trek proudly proclaims, 'Welcome to the future. The Chupacabra tires perform best with pressure in the mid-to-low teens.
