I don't think they've even landed at any dealers yet. (glad to be proven wrong)
Only a handful of media outlets have ridden it.

It does look mint especially in black. As was said in another thread the other day, they're still using plastic bottom brackets so factor in a conversion so stop if from squealing.

I've got a 2017 Stache 5 but I guess you mean the carbon one?

I've got a 9.8 on order, couldn't justify the extra on the 9.9.

It's not arriving till end of year. A few shops seem to have them, but no demo's in the UK at all apparently, ever (is what I've been told).

Looks amazing and can't wait.

I am torn between ordering an s-works enduro or the slash frame, I just can't decide between them.

If its anything like my Remedy 29er, it'll be a rocketship. I've never ridden anything as quick up, down and along as my Remedy.

One of my riding friends has one on order, looking forward to having a go on it, suspect it's way, way too much bike for me, even given the fact I race.

I'm trying to decide, a lot of money for a bike but sure it would be worth it.

The slash 27.5 frame is selling for 3250 euros in Germany, I was expecting the 29er to be the same.

Wow, nearly £3k for a Trek frame.

Even at trade that's going to be bonkers money.

I'm thinking the 9.8 as well, can't justify the 9.9 for my skill level. The stealth look of the 9.8 looks awesome as well.

It looks like the seat angle is slacker than the head. Treks tend to look that way to me, even though the stats say otherwise. I'd prefer something that has a steeper looking seat.

Honestly Trailrider Jim? That is one of your requirements for buying a bike? Wow, I'm sincerely glad I'm not that picky. Like the guy the other day who specifically wanted a certain head angle, 1 degree either way wasn't going to cut it... Bikes feel so, so different, and that 1 thing doesn't dictate how a bike rides/feels!
