Trek Roscoe 9

The Trek Roscoe 9 features in our ‘Going to unextremes’ bike test

The Roscoe comes in three flavours, the 7, 8, and top spec 9 on test here. All three models share the same Alpha Gold aluminium Boost frame featuring ISCG mounts, a threaded BB, and internal routing for both gear and dropper cables. It’s a shame all colours aren’t available across the models as the splattered Matte Quicksand/Olive Fade/Black colour reminds me of a particularly horrific paint job my parents did on our kitchen in the ’80s, and it would be good to have more than the crimson alternative. The lack of colour options is more than mitigated by 12-speed SLX/XT/e*thirteen drivetrain and 4-piston Shimano brakes, and at £2,300 this won’t break the bank either. I know there’s a big debate around what represents good value in these inflation-fuelled times, but it doesn’t take much effort to find similar bikes at higher prices, and if this is too much then the lower spec 7 and 8 models provide excellent opportunities for saving money at £1,400 and £2,000 respectively.

At 5ft 9in tall I often suffer from frame size anxiety as a result of straddling medium and large sizes so it’s good to see that the Roscoe adds a M/L size to the standard small, medium and large. The very short and very tall are also catered for with XS and XL versions, although the XS has 27.5 wheels to keep everything in sensible proportion. We’re testing a large here, which is slightly beyond Trek’s recommendations for my height, but those used to longer bikes will not find any issues with opting for the larger size, and this is made easier by the low-slung top tube which provides loads of standover clearance. Shorter riders may find it a little less obvious which size to choose, due to the significant overlap in recommended height between the M and M/L. I would always go for the larger size in this case, but a careful decision may be required if you’re in this range.

The frame itself is something of a beast. The oversized downtube and thick rear triangle provide a stiff and supportive base for ploughing through rocks and roots and maintaining control through the roughest of terrain, although this suggests the rider will need to cope with the physical demands of such a direct and unforgiving platform. If this isn’t a problem though and you’re up to the job of pushing the Roscoe to its limits, then the double side chainstay and downtube guards provide protection from flying rocks to prevent any damage. The rear brake caliper is also partially protected by what can only be described as a rather radical bend in the left chainstay to enable the caliper to be placed on the inside of the frame, although this does raise the possibility of interference with pedalling at the rear of the stroke. There was just enough clearance with my size 9 shoes to avoid any unwanted impacts or rubbing, but larger-footed riders might want to check this out.

If the geometry and overall burliness of the frame left any doubts as to the gnarly intentions of this bike, those can quickly be dispelled on consideration of the rest of the spec. It’s not unusual for trail bikes at around the 140mm travel category to opt to save some weight with 34mm forks so it’s good to see that Trek have resisted this with the addition of the thicker and stiffer Fox 36 Rhythms. Combined with the 30mm internal Bontrager Line Comp rims and bulky 2.6in XR4 tyres, the rider is left with little doubt that this bike wants to be ridden hard. All this meat does come with a weight penalty however, and at 13.9kg this can hardly be called lightweight for a hardtail. That really shouldn’t matter though for a trail bike which is clearly aimed at the more aggressive rider, and thankfully Trek seems to have considered this with the addition of the higher power four-pot Shimano M6120 brakes, and a twiddly 30T chainring to winch you to the top of the hill.

The first thing you notice when sitting on the Roscoe is that the uber-trail characteristics suggested by the geometry and the specs are even more in evidence when meeting it in person. This doesn’t quite qualify for the hardcore hardtail category, but the slack head angle, upright position and fat tyres have you instantly thinking about where the closest steep and rowdy trails might be. This isn’t a bike to be riding around forest roads or reservoirs with the family. Although if you were to do that, you’d possibly spend most of your time looking for cheeky unmarked trails and random opportunities to huck it off contrived drops and other obstacles. In fact, it’s so robust and confidence-inspiring you can probably ride it anywhere you like whether a trail exists or not. It’s quite literally a bike that can get you into trouble, in more ways than one.

trek roscoe chile

When you do find some trails worthy of the Trek Roscoe, you’d best be ready to commit to them because the ride is somewhat unforgiving. On rough rocks and roots your thighs and core will receive a proper workout as they as they absorb the shocks that at the front are being sucked up by the excellent fork. For any skiers out there, it’s a bit like the first day on the slopes after a long lay-off. The large tyres compensate a little if you run the pressures low (< 20psi), but then you run the risk of dinging the rims so tyre inserts might be an advisable first upgrade. The stiffness does have its benefits though if you have the physique and athleticism to take the hits. Trail obstacles and debris are no match for the Roscoe, and the 36mm forks, tyres and frame combine to provide a bulldozer-like character if you have the confidence to take advantage. On the very steepest trails the 36 forks and head angle come into their own and the front wheel maintains traction very well if you don’t hang off the back, but it could possibly benefit from a longer dropper to keep the saddle out of the way and encourage you to keep the front wheel weighted.

On tamer terrain, the Trek Roscoe is no slouch either, and I was torn as to whether it prefers man-made or natural terrain. Hardtails are often my go-to option for trail centres and places where I know there’s a smoothish hard-packed surface, and the Roscoe excels in this environment as well as it does on the rougher stuff, albeit with a very different character. Here the wide tyres and the active Fox Rhythm forks smooth out bumps very effectively, providing a fast and flowing ride with little sign of the bone-jarring stiffness exhibited on more technical trails. It’s probably a little vague in the steering due to the head angle and length on the tight and twisting courses you’ll find at manmade areas, but a little effort in wrestling it around corners compensates for that and encourages you to ride the bike rather than acting as a passenger.

Given the previous comments about the Trek Roscoe aggressive and bulky character while going downhill, it won’t come as any surprise that I haven’t talked much about its climbing ability. Not that it’s terrible at going uphill. The stiffness of the frame, the weight and grip offered by the XR4 tyres, and the stable climbing position provided by the 74.5° seat angle will get you up pretty much anything, and the more technical the better. But you’ll need the power and fitness to do it with any type of speed. Most riders will take advantage of the twiddly 30×51 bottom gear, and that’s fine for most uses. The comfortably upright riding position will even facilitate long days in the saddle or marathons/enduros – just don’t expect to be breaking any records in the process.

As the most gnarly trail shredding bike in this test, it won’t surprise anyone that the Trek Roscoe is biased in favour of the rowdier type of riding. Aggressive, strong and physical riders are perfectly placed to get the best out of this bike, and it will reward those who like a full-body workout rather than simply testing their legs on fire road climbs and then recovering on descents. It also does just enough of the milder type of riding to make it an all-rounder in a loose sense of the word. Ride this bike enough, though, and those from the tamer end of the spectrum probably won’t stay there for very long as the Roscoe will either amplify or bring out the inner thug.

Daz got into mountain biking by accident, quite literally. After falling off a cliff in the Peak District while climbing and nearly killing himself, he decided something safer was probably a good idea, so bought a mountain bike some time around 2004. It sat in his flat unused for about 6 months until a mate bought one too, when a whole new world of excitement was discovered by pushing it up unrideable climbs, and falling off unrideable descents in the Peak District. In the rain. Fast forward 10 years, several bikes, countless injuries and scrapes, and a lot more fitness and skill later, his Mrs told him if he wanted any more bikes he had to buy a bigger house in which to put them. At which point he moved to Todmorden, and randomly bumped into a bunch of magazine types who have the good fortune to do this sort of thing for a living. Somewhere along the way he also acquired a masochistic love of winter endurance racing, and as a result can be found riding his bike on ‘training’ rides in the dark and the drizzle, when everyone else is huddled in front of their wood burner. This provides excellent bike and kit testing/breaking opportunities and we try to keep him busy doing just that.

Proper boost at last! I liked the look of previous ones but not the weird 141QR rear spacing they went for.

Anyone ever buy a Roscoe ? I’ve got one on my HMMM list currently for local stuff. Not sure if i’ll press the button but i was looking at a few HTs and this is enough i terms of travel/fun, but a better weight than the others i’d shortlisted (Orange Crush and Ragley Blue PIg).

Trek Roscoe 9 frame

The Roscoe frame is shared across five bikes (three men’s, two women’s) and it’s a super-versatile chassis. Trek’s shaped, tapered ‘E2’ head tube combines with flattened, hydroformed main tubes to form a stiff but not stinging front end.

Tapering, bridge-free chainstays and seatstays help the bike skim where you’d expect a slam and give tons of tyre space, and the Boost-width (148mm) QR back end can take 29er wheels in place of the stock 650b hoops if you want.

There’s internal cable routing for a Shimano side-swing front mech in case you want to go twin-ring, two sets of bottle bosses, rear rack mounts and even a kickstand platform.

Trek Roscoe 9 kit

While the £1,000 Roscoe 8 and £800 7 use fixed posts, the 9 gets a 125mm-stroke Bontrager dropper, which also makes use of the internal routing. Add Shimano gears with a low-ratio 28t Race Face chainring, a 760mm bar and a 15mm-axled, 32mm-legged, 120mm-travel RockShox Recon fork, and you’re looking at a good package for the price.

Despite having a large choice of wheel and (particularly good) tyre options from its Bontrager in-house brand, Trek has opted to equip the Roscoe with 40mm (internal) SUNRinglé rims and fast-rolling, dual-compound Schwalbe Rocket Ron 27.5x2.8in tyres.

Trek Roscoe 9 ride impressions

Plus tyres are a great idea on a trail hardtail. As long as you get the pressures right (I’d suggest starting at 15psi on this particular set-up, going slightly higher for heavier riders on rockier trails and lower for lighter/smoother use), that extra air volume out back sucks up hits to save your rims and rump on tougher trails.

It keeps more rubber on the ground more of the time, too, which means better grip for a given tread pattern and compound. Counter-intuitively, the way bigger tyres deform over and around rocks and roots rather than bouncing off them also means they roll faster on rough ground once you’ve got them going.

That’s certainly the case here, as the Roscoe holds speed really well and never felt draggy. The big tyres also hide the primitive fork damping pretty well, and while the geometry isn’t radical (a 68-degree head angle, 440mm reach and 1,155mm wheelbase on the large), you can properly rag the Trek on natural trails or nurtured red routes.

While a shorter stem would give a more agile feel, the 65mm stock one works okay with the head angle and bar width. The tyres (and rims) are tubeless ready, so it’d be easy to add even more smoothness and puncture proofing. They’re fairly lightweight, though, and working them hard through turns creates carcass stress marks almost immediately.

Once you start pushing into black-rated territory, you begin to reach the limits of the brakes and the fork’s compression control too. And on techy climbs you need to sit on the saddle nose to offset the very slack 71-degree seat angle and stop it looping out. But none of that got in the way of me having a right good laugh on the Roscoe whenever I rode it.

Trek Roscoe 9 early verdict

Versatile rather than radical in geometry terms, but a properly fun, well-balanced all-rounder.

TREK ROSCOE 9 REVIEW

Review by JP Purdom | Photos by Sam Noble

When it comes to mountain bikes, it’s no secret that a lot of people are on the overbiked end of the spectrum, or perhaps relying on their suspension to get them down a trail instead of their technical ability. Hardcore hardtails offer a solution to this, maintaining the stability required to go fast but giving a little less forgiveness that allows riders to separate out their skills from the ability of the bike and improve their riding. It shaves off the cost of a more complex frame plus a rear shock in the process, bringing this capability to a more budget-conscious demographic. The all-new Roscoe is Trek’s most recent answer to an affordable all-around mountain bike, specifically designed to get more people having fun on the trails. The Roscoe is simplicity driven, featuring dependable components, aggressive geo, and of course, no rear shock. Make no mistakes though; with 29” wheels, 2.6” tires, and 140mm of fork travel, the Roscoe is no slouch when it comes to rugged terrain. We were excited to find out how exactly how capable it was out on the trails around Bend, OR.

• 29 x 2.6″ Tires • HTA: 65° • STA: 73.1° • REACH: 470 (Large)

Price: $2,699/£2,200 Website:   Trekbikes.com

THE LAB Like most modern bikes, the Trek Roscoe follows the trend of long and slack with a relatively steep seat tube. This allows for better handling in the rough and better positioning on the climb. Roscoe’s sizing ranges from XS to XL to suit riders from 137cm to 196cm (4’5”-6’2”), with the XS size equipped with 27.5 wheels to better fit shorter riders. Quite a unique and very welcome addition to the size range is the “ML”, which forms a middle ground between the medium and large that should help to avoid quite so much deliberation between the two for riders who sit awkwardly in that size range. The reach on our Large was 470mm and pairs to a generous 644mm stack. The angles are shared across the size range, with a 65° head angle and a 74.7° effective seat tube angle. These numbers don’t take into account the fact that it’s a hardtail and therefore the angles steepen when on the bike, giving a slightly more upright climbing position but quicker steering than you may expect. A 6.1mm static BB drop (4.5mm on XS) and 430mm chainstays round out the numbers, giving a suitably all-rounded mentality.

Helping to keep the retail price down, the Trek Roscoe is only offered in their Alpha Gold Aluminum. The frame features a tapered head tube, internal cable routing with guides within the frame, ISCG 05 tabs, a threaded BB, and Boost 148 spacing. Trek paid attention to the frame protection, with good coverage on the chainstay and a generous downtube guard. Within the front triangle you can run two bottles thanks to the provided mounts. The Roscoe is offered in 4 different build kits ranging from $1149.99 to $2699.99. Trek says the Roscoe is the perfect choice for the rider who wants to get out and enjoy some gnarly terrain, without the maintenance and cost of a full suspension bike and backs it with their Lifetime frame warranty.

The Roscoe 9 we tested came equipped with some of the industry’s most reliable, robust, and affordable parts. The Fox Rhythm 36 comes equipped with the easy-to-tune GRIP damper, as well as the tried-and-true EVOL air spring. The XT derailleur and SLX shifter provide seamless shifting across the SLX 10-51t 12-speed cassette. E*Thirteen supplies a Helix crank with 30t steel chainring and a discrete upper chainguide to keep the chain firmly in place. The Roscoe 9 features quad piston Shimano M6120 Brakes, which should provide plenty of power, especially when matched with a 203mm rotor up front and a 180mm in the rear. Trek chose the TranzX Dropper post, which ranges from 100-150mm, depending on frame size – a 150mm length for sizes ML and above. The rest of our Roscoe 9 came outfitted with Trek’s own Bontrager components, most notably the grippy XR4 tires and Line 30 wheels.

THE DIRT As a staunch downhill and enduro rider, I was very skeptical of the way an aggressive hardtail would handle the trail. After spending a few weeks on board, the Roscoe, all I can say is, “wow”. The Roscoe’s reasonably slack head angle, healthy reach and 140mm fork make this bike extremely capable of tackling everything from flow trails to rock shoots. There were times when I completely forgot I was riding a hardtail because of how comfortable the body positioning is on this bike. The cornering ability is next level, thanks to the balanced geometry and aggressive 2.6” tires. I never found myself washing around in a turn, even in the dry, dusty conditions here in Bend. In the air, the Roscoe is balanced and predictable, even at high speeds.

It was obvious to me that the Roscoe was much more capable downhill than I would have ever imagined; then, when I finished a lap and turned around to pedal back up, I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort and efficiency of the Roscoe’s climbing position. The 74.7-degree effective seat tube angle makes the Roscoe a joy to pedal, and with the large size build weighing in at just under 30lbs, it gets up the hill without any issues. The XR4’s does a good job at clawing their way up terrain that seems impossibly loose, finding unexpected traction on a number of occasions.

The spec sheet on the Roscoe 9 was also impeccable. The shifting was perfect throughout, the brakes suitably powerful, the tires offered incredible traction, and the price seems pretty spot on given the quality components all round. For an experienced rider, based on Trek’s build sheet, I probably wouldn’t shoot for the Roscoe 6 (which is designed for beginner riders anyways); however, the 7 level and above offer parts more suited for an experienced rider and are available at extremely reasonable prices.

The only real qualms I had with the Roscoe were the grips and the bars – items riders will often look to swap out anyway to get that customised fit. The angles on the bars put a strain on my wrists, causing them to hurt after a good bit of saddle time. The back-sweep, combined with notoriously stiff 35mm aluminum construction, made a bit of discomfort on my first ride. The grips weren’t a significant complaint for me, but I don’t like to wear gloves when I ride, and the Roscoe grips aren’t necessarily suited for sweaty palms. That said, these are minor details on an otherwise dialled ride.

If you are in the market for a new mountain bike, my Trek Roscoe 8 review is going to show you the ins and outs of this hardtail bike and what it can handle.

Made by Trek who is one of the biggest bike brands and has been for a number of years, you’ll find out just how good this bike really is and decide if you think it’s the right bike for you.

I’ll go through the main features of the Roscoe 8, who it is suited for, what alternatives are out there, and finally if it is worth the money or not.

Bottom Line Up Front: The Trek Roscoe 8 is a fantastic hardtail bike that can handle a number of environments. For the price it has a wide range of features and combines this will stellar performance from responsive braking, control, a lightweight design and decent speeds too.

Trek Roscoe 8 | Trek

Roscoe 8 is a trail hardtail for anyone looking to have some serious fun out in the dirt. Its 27.5+ mid-fat tires, a wide-range 1x12 drivetrain, and 120mm suspension fork make it a blast on every trail, from packed singletrack to the loose stuff. It's a laid-back trail mountain bike dressed in a high-quality spec that's ready to party.

How does Trek stack up against other companies?

Trek are one of the biggest bike brands in the market and they have been trading for nearly 50 years now – they were created in 1975.

Based in Wisconsin but with a global reach, they have evolved into a massive manufacturer of mountain bikes across the world. They’ve even sponsored many individuals and biking teams over the years too. They have a wide range of bikes ranging from hardtail bikes, gravel bikes, triathlon bikes and have even branched out into the electric bike market.

What kind of bike is the Roscoe 8

Trek Roscoe 8

The Trek Roscoe 8 is a hardtail bike . This means that it has no rear suspension but instead relies on a front suspension. They are made to handle difficult terrain and generally have a tougher architecture overall than some other bikes.

The lack of a rear suspension means that the overall weight of the bike is reduced which can help with control while the design helps durability. These types of bikes tend to pick up speeds quicker too and given their performance, they often cost less than many other bikes for what you get.

We’ll look at the price of the Trek Roscoe 8 later on but even though it isn’t the cheapest bike you can buy, it is very affordable.

The frame on the Roscoe 8 is made from aluminum – Trek’s Alpha Gold aluminum to be exact – and it is one of the sleekest and best frame designs I’ve seen.

It’s understated but stylish at the same time. The bike also comes in a variety of sizes such as 13.5, 15.5, 17.5, 18.5, 19.5, 21.5, and 23 inches so you should be able to find one to suit your height, riding style, and comfort level.

The aluminum frame will mean that it is a bit heavier than bikes made from carbon. The overall weight of the Roscoe 8 is about 14.5 kg however it means that it is less expensive than carbon bikes. In the old days, aluminum bikes had a reputation for being harsh and even though it might have been warranted then, the tech has come a long way and they perform very well compared to their carbon counterparts.

What are the wheels like?

The bike comes with 27.5 plus size tires which have been designed to help with grip and to cushion those bumps and rough terrain that you’ll likely be using the Roscoe 8 on. They have a feeling of being ‘glued’ to the surface which will undoubtedly raise your confidence of tricky trails.

The standard mountain bike tires that it comes with are the Maxxis’ Rekon 27.5×2.8 tubeless tires. Using tubeless tires means you can run these are a lower pressure which will improve contact with the surface and aid performance. They are also less susceptible to flats when out on the trail which is a big bonus.

What other features does it have?

As I mentioned above, the Trek Roscoe 8 hardtail bike comes in a variety of sizes that range from 13.5, 15.5, 17.5, 18.5, 19.5, 21.5 to 23 inches. The air spring fork means you can adjust the air pressure to match your weight and offer better performance than coil springs.

The Roscoe 8 uses an SRAM NX Eagle, 12-speed drivetrain while there is also a Bontrager Arvada saddle at 133 mm width. The bike has Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes which provide great stopping power and control.

The default color of the Roscoe 8 is matte back with red and a marigold fade however we’ve seen lighter colors such as grey too. Either way, the design of the bike means it looks great regardless of its shade.

How does the Trek Roscoe 8 perform?

roscoe 8

Down to the part you really want to know – how does the Roscoe 8 actually perform when out on the trail?

In a couple of words – very well.

The bike can handle tough terrain and trails easily. Its light frame means you have a large degree of control over where you are riding while the brakes make for quick stops and slow descents if you need them.

The suspension makes bumpy roads and trails a breeze to drive on and the drivetrain means you can shift easily to pick up speed. It might not be the ideal for consistent and long road journeys as you’ll hit maximum speed quicker than you think but for mountain hiking and trails, it is more than ideal.

What are the specs of the Roscoe 8?

These are the main specs that you need to know about with the Trek Roscoe 8.

What warranty will I receive if I buy it?

Trek bikes come with a lifetime warranty for the original owner for the frame sets (frame and rigid fork) while there is between a 1 and 4 year warranty on other parts. Trek also provides warranty on other mountain biking gear and accessories if you buy these extra.

What’s the price range of the Trek Roscoe 8?

Trek Roscoe 8

As far as affordable bikes go, the Roscoe 8 fits firmly in the category of being a bit of a luxury bike with higher performance but also very affordable for most people.

It costs $1789.99 for the bike. It is a bit steeper than some other hardtail mountain bikes that I’ve reviewed in the past, however, it makes up for it with great performance. If you have a bit of cash to splash out on the Roscoe 8 then you’ll be getting a superior bike than many other models that are cheaper and also in the same price range.

You probably won’t need to remortgage the house to buy it but it isn’t necessarily in the category of purchasing on a whim for most people.

Trek Roscoe 8 is suited for people who…

  • Want a superior hardtail bike for a decent price
  • Enjoy riding on tough terrain
  • Also, need a bike for occasional road use
  • Prefer aluminum frames over carbon
  • Want good control and speeds

Trek Roscoe 8 is not suited for people who…

  • Prefer carbon frames to aluminum
  • Want a cheaper entry-level bike
  • Do a lot of road biking rather than mountain biking

What do users think of Trek Roscoe 8?

Trek Roscoe 8

Overall the Roscoe 8 has been very well received by those who enjoy mountain biking and riding on rough trails. The brakes provide very good stopping power and are responsive too so you get a great deal of control. While the aluminum frame is a bit heavier than a carbon frame, many people prefer this extra bit of weight.

Its smooth ride and easily shifted gears means it is not only at home on a trail but also on normal road surfaces as well. There are reports that you’ll need to fine-tune the drivetrain to get the most out of it.

You might not get the same speeds in an urban environment as other bikes out there but that isn’t its primary purpose. While it can be a versatile bike its main role is on tough terrain.

The Pros and Cons of the Trek Roscoe 8

  • Strong and durable bike for taking off-road
  • Great hardtail bike that can handle tough environments
  • Responsive brakes and a good level of control and traction
  • Offers a comfortable ride across various terrain
  • Affordable price for what you get
  • Drivetrain needs to be fine-tuned for the best performance
  • The aluminum frame might put some people off

FAQs About Roscoe 8

The Roscoe 8 frame is made from aluminum which is slightly heavier than carbon.

The Roscoe 8 can accommodate 27.5″ x 2.8″ or 29″ x 2.4″ tires.

If you want, yes. It doesn’t have the same speeds as come bikes that are made for road riding but it offers a comfortable ride on smooth surfaces.

While there are some differences between a gravel bike and a hardtail bike, the Roscoe 8 can perform well for both purposes and across various terrain.

There is a lifetime warranty for the original owner for the frame sets (frame and rigid fork) while there is between a 1 and 4 year warranty on other parts.

The bike is available in 13.5, 15.5, 17.5, 18.5, 19.5, 21.5 and 23-inch sizes.

What are the best Trek Roscoe 8 alternatives?

#1 trek marlin 6.

Trek Marlin 6

The Trek Marlin 6 is a good bit cheaper than the Roscoe 8 so if you’re on a budget then this bike is a good alternative.

The Marlin 6 also has an aluminum frame similar to the Roscoe 8 so while it won’t be as light as a carbon bike, it certainly won’t feel heavy or a drag to get around the trail. The aluminum frame is durable too.

The bike has Bontrager Connection 32-hole double-walled wheels which can fit 27 inches or 29-inch tires giving you a couple of options. The tires on the bike are the Bontrager XR2 which are a reputable mountain bike tire and favored by many riders.

Other Features

With the Marlin 6, you’ll get Tektro M290 disc brakes as well as a 24-speed drivetrain so you’ll be able to find the right balance when out on the trail. Some people have said that the bike can be a bit stiff and unresponsive at times however overall it is a worthy competitor to the Roscoe 8. Not only is it cheaper but it performs well across various terrain as well although without the same level of performance as the Roscoe 8.

Why Go With the Marlin 6? | Trek Bikes

The Marlin 6 is a GREAT budget pick to get started. An excellent all-around mountain bike, with room for plenty of cusomizations and upgrades later. Only if you need it.

Bonus: If you want to find more about Marlin bikes, check all about the Marlin 4 , Marlin 5 , and Marlin 7.

#2 Diamondback Overdrive

Diamondback Overdrive

Another alternative that you can consider if you want to save a bit of money is the Diamondback Overdrive.

Another aluminum-framed bike, the Overdrive has a 29″ Butted 6061-T6 Aluminum frame. The design alone is really nice and it is a stylish bike. OK, it isn’t a carbon model but if you are after an aluminum frame to cut down on the cost it is a good bike.

The Diamondback Overdrive comes with 26” MTB style tires that will give you decent control on a number of different terrain from off-road trails to urban riding. They don’t perform as well as the Roscoe 8 but again you’re sacrificing some performance and quality for the cost.

Other features

You’ll get a Diamondback Seatpost and trail saddle which is fairly comfortable while the 21-speed gears gives you several options for speed. Overall this is a good bike and for the price, it is one of the best in the market. If you can afford to spend a bit extra you should but for a tight budget, this is a good hardtail bike.

Diamondback Bicycles Overdrive Hardtail Mountain Bike | REI

The classic returns this year with 27.5” wheels, 24 speeds, a plush four-inch Suntour suspension fork, and powerful disc brakes. Big knobby tires grip every root and rock, keeping you confident and in control as you explore the trail. Whether you're a diehard hardtail aficionado or looking for a solid starter mountain bike, the Overdrive doesn't disappoint.

Conclusion – is the Trek Roscoe 8 worth buying?

The Trek Roscoe 8 is a fantastic bike to ride whether you are tackling some hard terrain on a mountain trail or heading off on an afternoon ride on flat roads.

It isn’t as versatile as some other mountain bikes that are on the market however if you want a truly versatile bike that can handle anything you throw at it then you’d be better off looking at the Ibis Hakka but you’re going to pay more money.

The Roscoe 8 performs really well when out on the trail. I like its control and traction and it offers responsive brakes that work great across a number of surfaces. You’ll get comfort from bumps and shocks while the frame is durable too.

Some parts do need a bit of fine-tuning such as the drivetrain and you’ll top out in speed on normal surfaces a bit quicker than many people would want but it does perform admirably in most situations. It isn’t the cheapest bike out there in its category but what you pay that bit extra for is performance and the Roscoe 8 brings that and more.

Launched back in 2019, the Trek Roscoe 6 is definitely showing signs of ageing. Yes, it’s had a fresh lick of paint and some specification updates since then, the biggest change being the addition of a dropper seat post. Other than that though, it’s essentially the same bike that now costs £1k rather than £675. But is it good enough to be added to our best hardtail mountain bikes guide? Trek Roscoe 6 need to know: Massive 2.8in Kenada tyres on smaller 27.5in rims boost confidence and control The Trek Roscoe 6 gets a 130mm dropper post as standard Shimano Deore 10sp drivetrain and 11-46t cassette The wider 141mm Boost quick release dropouts provide extra tyre clearance But it’s not the jump in price or the front derailleur mount that instantly date the Roscoe 6. It’s the 27.5in wheels shod with voluminous 2.8in tyres. Every other bike in this category has made the switch to 29in wheels with narrower tyres, so has Trek simply backed the wrong horse? Frame Before we answer that question, let’s take a closer look at the frame. Manufactured from Trek’s Alpha Gold aluminium the Roscoe comes in six unique sizes, XS though to XXL. Dig into the number though and again the Roscoe looks dated with an elevated BB height and relatively steep head angle. It’s a good thing then that the generous reach and short chainstays have stood the test of time. Yes, the seat angle is a little too laid back to provide an optimum position for seated climbing, but it does open up the top tube measurement so the bike feels roomy in every other situation. Suspension Fatter tyres need fatter forks to provide the necessary clearance, so the Roscoe 6 comes with a SR Suntour XCM 32. It’s coil sprung and listed as having 120mm travel, but grease marks on the chrome steel upper tubes indicated that we never managed to get more than 100mm travel out of it. No bad thing, as the firm spring rate helped prop up the front end and maintain better overall geometry for shredding. The Suntour fork also has no rebound damping adjustment, so limiting its movement with a firmer spring is a crude, but effective way to maintain control. On the plus side, we welcomed the additional stiffness and security of the 15mm bolt-thru axle. Components Like Specialized, Trek has its contact points dialled. The Bontrager Arvada saddle is firm but comfy and we can’t emphasise enough how good it is not having to stop and fiddle with a dodgy quick release seat collar every five minutes. Yes, the action of the 130mm TranzX post feels a little crude, and it also adds at least half a kilo to the overall weight of the bike, but it’s worth it. The balloon-like 2.8in Kenda Havok tyres, and especially the fatter inner tubes, increase the overall weight too, so combined with the wider 35mm rims the Roscoe 6 weights in a portly 15.57kg, making it the …Continue reading »

Shimano Deore gears work well. Best frame protection on test. Lows. Wide tyres can feel vague and roll at high speeds.

  21. Trek Roscoe 9 2023 Review

    The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. A shout out to Trek - we take our hats off, because a first-class price / performance ratio make the Roscoe 9 for on demanding single tracks a benchmark in the price range under 3000 Euro. A nice warranty promises sustainability.
