I was waiting patiently for it, ended up buying a roscoe frame and built it up with a fox 34 fork, hunt trailwide wheels, and full deore drive train. It is a really fun bike to ride, I actually prefer it over my full suspension currently. Super stable and it climbs way better than I could have imagined. Ive even raced it in my last two xc races, back to back 3rd place in class finishes on it.

A medium roscoe comparison would be incredible, I like your theory and would love to see if it holds up testing a shorter frame with identical geo

I think the roscoe deserves a redo in the medium, a lot of the areas it lost points were when you mentioned it being too long

yes of course, you should try the M size because it would give us an idea of how changing sizes changes the characteristics and the feel

I'm 5'8" and chose the medium frame for my Roscoe 9. I changed the stem for a slightly longer one (35mm i believe) because the reach felt short when out of the saddle. I don't have experience across multiple bikes but I love my roscoe. I don't regret sizing down.

@topspot4834

Жыл бұрын

You're probably thinking of 35mm (vs 31.8) which is the stem diameter and doesn't add length to your reach. It's probably in the 50-70mm range. And size medium at 5'8 sounds perfect with today's geometry. A large would be pretty big, but it depends on your proportions ... Like I'm 5'8 too but you might have longer arms, or maybe I have shorter legs. I ride a medium Mach 6 but my friend has a large Firebird and it felt gigantic.

Good idea getting the M and re doing the test. I agree with the size comparison making the bike feel " Too long". I think this sizing may be for shorter torso longer arms. Or something like that. I have a feeling the M will be completely different.

A thought on your observations of sizing vs compliance - the different riding position of a longer or shorter bike may cause you to load the front more or less, meaning you shouldn't necessarily keep the same fork pressure etc across different bikes. It sounded like you kept the same fork settings, but adjusting pressure to give the same sag % on each bike might be a fairer comparison than keeping the same pressure. Interesting to see the comparison and how you find each bike anyway!

The 8 is a great value. Just needs alittle better fork over time. Same with the 7. Needs better brakes on this one to. You could change the frame in time and use these parts.

I'm looking for a bike and am willing to go a little beyond 1k if I can get something good. Do you have any recommendation?

You should try GT Zaskar LT, great bike with very unique rear triangle design 😃

Hey Alan what a great quest you are on thanks for bringing us along! My take on size and compliance is that with longer reach you weight the front more and thus the rear less. Thats why you struggle with control in the chunk and get bucked around and the hands get to take the hits instead of the legs like normal. You should try a -1 degree angle headset!

I would be really interested in seeing another review with a medium frame, just to see how much sizing impacts the score. I ride a trek roscoe 7 and I love it, but everyone's different! Would be interesting to know if the fit was the problem, or if the geometry is contributing to the problems you faced.

Definitely test the Roscoe in a medium size frame. It would be very interesting to what difference , if any, you would feel.

Love the concept of your series. Before buying another expensive frame though, honestly I bet it will feel way better all around if you re-run your test with the tire and suspension recommendations from Trek's website (2.6" or so tires, 20 psi). That should greatly improve most of your issues on the singletrack (compliance, rock garden, front wheel chatter, cornering, "feeling like a goon"). Honestly, with the cushcore and thinner tires in your setup vs the 2.6" stock/20 psi, it should ride and feel way better at 16 - 18 psi and maybe you can save the $750 cost of another frame !

I've got the Roscoe 8 in a large and it's the best hardtail I've ever ridden. I'd love to see you ride the medium

I would be very interested in a test of the Roscoe in medium size to see if your hunch is correct. Also a test of the Marin Team Marin would be very interesting. It should have a very good comliance and fits wonderfully into the previous selection.

I have a Roscoe 8, 2023. I'm 6'2, 225 lbs. I had been riding an XL hardtail, and really thought that would be the correct size. Sales person suggested a large. I was hesitant, but I took out the large and rode it around for a bit. I bought the large. Fabulous bike, I ride a mix of cross country and trail and couldn't be happier. Trek has held the price at $1499 since early spring. After shopping many bikes, the Roscoe was easily the best value and component build.

I’ve been waiting for this for my entire life!!!

Before buying my last bike, it came down to the Roscoe and the Orbea Laufey. I got the Laufey (better frame IMO). Absolute beauty of a bike. It likes to go fast, super responsive in the corners and loves to charge through chunk. Climbs well, up until it gets pretty steep, then the front tire just levitates off the ground. I use it alot at the downhill park and it's awesome! It loves to go downhill, over drops, blasts through rock gardens like a champ. It's my aggressive enduro hardtail ;)

I had a 2019 M/L Roscoe 7, I personally really liked (as a 13 y/o). The dropper was really nice and had no problems, internal routing for cables was very nice. I used it for 2 years 1/2 years with minimal issues overall. A good bike to learn on but I wish it wasn’t a 27.5+ bike.

I would love to see the medium Roscoe tested as well, keeps it fair, and would put the size/compliance theory to the test too.

It would be great to see how the medium frame stacks up. I currently ride an XL but I think I would enjoy an L more for the type of riding I do (I’m 6’2”) So Are you going to try out a Giant Fathom? I like that bike on paper for the price but haven’t seen many tests comparing it to others.

Yessir please do the comparison with an M sized one. Many of us are regularly in between sizes and it's not easy to pick the right one in those cases. Would be very interested to see how much impact size has on your perception of it. I only ever got the chance to compare sizes properly back 2 back with YT Jeffsy's and Izzo's at their store in Germany. Size made a HUGE change there. Oh and regarding the next reviews - looks like you have a great selection at hand! Have you considered including the Banshee Enigma (maybe as a mullet)? Apart from the chunk I think that one could suit your flowy bike park alike terrain really well.Tough to compare a mullet/27.5er with only 29ers though...

Test a medium. I'm 5'11" and the L has been super smooth for me. It is a great "All'rounder" - I would never accuse this bike at being great at most things other than being a little better than "just okay" at everything. Definitely fun to ride as a beginner.

I too would love to see how sizing affects your enjoyment of the bike. I ride a M (17.5) Trek Stache, but when I went to buy a Fuel Ex the M felt so short and I was talked into a M/L (18.5) size. Sometimes it feels big but I think it’s just because my Stache is smaller and I ride it a lot. Interested in your testing both sizes!

Do you setup the suspension on each bike before the test? I feel that would affect your experiencew way more then you think.. And buying a used bike I feel you would almost have to since it was probably setup for the previous rider. 10PSI or 1 volume spacer can make a HUGE difference.

Loved seeing the old BMX in you at the start of your ride. I just got a redline and started at my local track. You should make a video integrating bmx racing skills into MTB!

I have it’s predecessor, a 2001 Trek 9600. In this day and age it’s considered more of a gravel bike than a mountain bike. I got it new back in the day and still love it. It has never failed on me after 20+ years of hard use. Haven’t had to replace any parts, just general maintenance.

Í just went to the trek dealer the other day to pick up some bikes and the website says med for me but I went with a small as it just felt more right and more agile without over reaching same with the Mrs she went for the Xsmall over the small feeling the same thing. I think with Trek bike go the next size down as they size more on the big size and also you can make a small bike a little bigger with stem and seat but you can't make a big bike smaller to the same extent.

As a Roscoe 7 owner I really like it! everything about it its just so much better. The 12 gears making gear 1 as light as a feather and the dropper post to the suspension it's all so good! The only recommendation is to switch out the grips. I switched to sram grips! ( Maybe the pedals too )

@@Nathan-qt2zi well they were just a bit small and flat in my opinion.

Definetly wanna see this again with the medium roscoe 👍

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the medium vs medium/large

I'd be interested to see the comparison of sizes. been looking at buying a roscoe but I'm concerned i might get the wrong size as normally I'd ride large

I have always been interested in Canfield bikes so I would love to see the Yelli Screamy. Thanks for the videos. Demo days are few where I live and most companies don’t bother bringing hardtails.

I ride a M/L 2022 Roscoe 8, I'm just under 6'0 @ 5'11. I really like my Roscoe- it's just a fun-ass bike to ride. That said, I relate to the sensation of it feeling 'big', as well as that the bars feel a bit wide - i may shorten mine. Lots of people complain about the bars on the internet as well as IRL when I've offered to let people test ride it on trails. I think the larger wheels are what makes it feel so different, but i have a longer torso and shorter legs. Now that I've adapted to it i like it, but i pick different lines that i did when i was on my Marlin because i think it's general agility is lower than the Marlin's, or other 27.5 bikes. The trade off (imo) is that the tires do SO MUCH MORE. It eats obstacles like rocks and roots so well that you dont need to pick careful lines, which makes for a very carefree ride. The low scores are understandable since you're a very advanced rider and i think this bike is kind of built for newer to intermediate riders like me. I hate to admit you might be right about compliance - I still have the stock 35 Gold RL fork, and i feel that it handles everything, but i do have to be mindful of the tuning to not bottom it out. I woud love to see you try the medium (I think Matty Active also rides a medium of this bike) and also on some rockier or sandier trail. I've ridden the R8 in Michigan and Wyoming and it did so well with rocky terrain. Love your reviews! Can't wait to try out a Ragley.

I would love to see how much sizing effect the ride would love to see the medium roscoe test.

Go a medium roscoe I’m keen to know if you perform better or worse. I have an M/L and would like to know if i should have gone an M
