This seems to be a huge amount of well specked bike for £1,000. Assuming you could get a 10% discount from Evans cycles or cycle to work scheme this seems a total bargain. Anyone rode one and have any feedback, am very tempted 🙂
They are the bike of choice at our local hire shop. There must be something wrong with them because many people throw them to the side of the trail in disgust lol
we've sold 2 of th 8's and a 7 already. great spec bike for the money. only let down by the "boost 141" QR rear end
Was wanting a 2018 one but seemed to be sold out everywhere. It's gone up by £100 and is no longer in that lovely orange, but still looks decent value. QR141 would put me off a bit.
I ride a Trek Roscoe 8 2018 model. its a good bike for money and handles any thing so far, good play bike too. Ive ridden Rocky technical sections with drops fine no problem. Good at climbing like a mountain goat. The qr 141 is bit annoying but you can change hubs as some suggest cant change wheels or hubs. Can run DT Swiss 350 hubs with adaptors and Hope 148 hubs with adaptors.
Yeah good bike for what it does trail riding etc and spec wise its good too.
What's the weight like on the 21.5? I am 6.2ft and 82kg so assume this would be the right size ?
I'd try a 19.5 first. I'm just over 6ft and I wouldn't want any bigger. Weighs about 31.5lbs
