Those tires are so big that I needed to adjust my timing to compensate so much tire to roll on edge. When turning tightly, there was a lag until I was truly leaning-in. I highly recommend you talk to your local Trek dealer about a demo because the total package creates an experience, and value, beyond the sum of its parts. The bike feels very stable at speed and the grip is good on the open turns. 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. Alpha Platinum Aluminum: Our premium lightweight aluminum is continuously cold extruded and butted at multiple points for ultimate weight reduction and superior strength. Maximizing the Stache experience is all about being honest about where and how the bike will be ridden. Race Face Ride, 38/24 w/turbine outer ring. 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. 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. 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. I did play around with the Trek's wheelbase via their Strangehold system. From cruising through sand/snow to hitting the bike park and everything else in between You will. This is unfortunate because the conditions where it shines parallel perfect trails for one gear riding. For someone looking for a versatile do everything fun bike. New SUNRingle Duroc SD 37 aluminum wheelset. This hardtail climbs and handles well, and the trail geometry is within its sweet spot on most trails. The 29+ tires roll over almost anything with unmatched traction, and still remain not clunky.

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 Stache wasn’t designed for all-out speed, but not much can slow it down either.

I put a 60mm stem on mine after riding 10 hours on the 90mm that came stock it changed the bike's attitude completely, It will air out off of anything, and it's even better downhill with the more rearward weight distribution. 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. If you haven't done it yet, try slapping a shorter stem on it. The Chupacabra tires perform best with pressure in the mid-to-low teens.
