I did not have the time or opportunity to really play around with this. And the other piece of simple tech is the Stranglehold dropout, a system that enables you to move the rear axle 15 mm back and forth in the back frame, adapting the length of the chainstay to your preferences and riding style. Bigger wheels with the stiffness of smaller ones. The fact that you can run such a large cassette and such large tires are enabled by the Boost 148 on the back axle. The SRAM Guide R brake system does its job, although I have to say that, riding Dutch trails, it wasn’t possible to really put it to the test of prolonged and hard breaking which you would encounter if you are doing alpine rides. The rest of the bike is just as smooth, with internally routed cables and a clean cockpit. Specs Race Face Ride w/Turbine outer ring, 36/22 SRAM X9 Shimano Deore RockShox Recon Silver Bontrager alloy, 15mm alloy axle front hub Bontrager sealed.Sizes: 15.5, 17.5, 19, 21, 23 (Frame size guide). It’s perfectly designed for trail bikes with 130mm of travel, but you can get away with. Simpler, cleaner, means less maintenance and is slightly lighter. The Stache initially caught my attention because the trails in Park City tend to be pretty smooth and flowy. The SRAM XG cassette has a wide 10-50 range that will help you up any steep climb. I really like not having a front derailer. The Trek Stache has a SRAM GX 1×12 groupset which shifted sharply and smoothly. The seat dropper post helping in switching the saddle height and riding position from low for the downhill to high for the climb. Trek uses its Alpha Platinum Aluminium technology for the frame of the Stache 7 and its better equipped cousin.

The Slash 9. The Stache handled this corner really well. Six years ago Trek developed this suspension design, it was hugely successful and they’ve stuck with it. You have to try to carry some speed, shift down a couple of speeds quickly and power through. There is a place on the trail I did, where you hid downhill at speed, making a very tight corner and go straight up again.

The plus size tires give you heaps of grip while making your tight corners. It is easy to wheel, it is nimble in parking lot playing around, and more importantly, you can thread your way through the technical trails with ease. The Stache delivers on its agility promise.

The 3-inch mid-fat tires and full carbon frame make it our most fun and capable hardtail. Its built with an OCLV Mountain Carbon frame thats shockingly light for its oversized appearance, a premium RockShox Pike RL fork with 120mm of travel, and performance parts like a SRAM Eagle drivetrain. The idea behind this complex construction is simple: the tighter into the frame you can bring the tire, the closer it will be to the center of the bike, the shorter the chainstay will be, the shorter the wheelbase will be, and the agiler the bike will be. Stache 9.7 is our lightest 29+ trail hardtail. In effect, you will see the chainring over the back tire.

The chainstay on the Stache is a-symmetrical, with the chain running underneath the chainstay to be able to bring the bottom bracket much closer. To begin with the wheelbase: Trek has managed to place the wheel very “deep” into the frame.
