If there’s one thing that you’ll find about the Stache, its that its a wicked fun bike. I’m pretty sold on the 29er wheel size but hadn’t really considered mid-fat bikes like the Stache but after reading some pretty positive reviews and knowing some local riders that had taken the Stache all the way out to the enduro scene, I figured I’d try something different and most importantly fun. I have no intention of getting rid of my Trek Emonda or Speed Concept anytime soon but last fall I felt the itch and decided I wanted something shiny and new.Īs someone not riding super technical rocky or rooty trails I wanted a versatile platform that I could take onto local singletrack and maybe some fast and flowy cross country trails. With a few road bikes and a cyclocross bike in my quiver I finally thought it was about time that I get back into mountain. If you’re looking for a more in depth review from folks who actually spend time shredding on mountain bikes, check out Pinkbike’s much more in depth review here. So I’ll give you a bit of background on why I went with the new Trek Stache 7 29er plus, my impressions on it after riding it for six months, and why I think its a pretty wicked ride.
Mountain bikes on the other hand, are sort of a new area for me. Whether its road bike, TT bike, single speed, or whatever, I can ride it and I can give someone a pretty good sense as to whether the geometry is better suited for an endurance rider taking on their first charity ride, or a Cat 3 cyclist hunting down points on the local crit scene.
