I picked one up beginning of July 2024, had one XL in blue in the box and guy put together right in front of me. He even upgraded the cables to stainless steel and trued up wheels and tighten spikes up a bit. He also moved one of the handlebar stem spacers below with the rest to raise handlebars up a little.

The old Roscoe plus bike used the same frame as the X-Caliber. So even the new X-Caliber still uses the 141 axle. Don't understand why because even other bike companies Specialized, Cannondale and Giant all use 148 on comparable bikes. And Trek came up with 148 anyway.

On sale now for $15xx it’s a win for me right now. In comparison my ohlins meta ht was on sale for $2800 it came with GX as well. The only thing for sure better than this Roscoe is the xt brakes and the ohlins fork. I would buy this and upgraded the fork and called it a day. A new fork on sale is an easy thing to find, or on the used market a fork is easy to find sometimes unused at used prices. The hub and wheels are nice with 108 engagement too. It’s a bike to not pass up right now.

With a pump you can dial in the settings exactly how you want, which may change based on seasons and extra gear your wearing, or like me changing weight through the year. I have the RockShox digital pump and it easily lets you make changes to 0.1 PSI by slightly over pumping and then purging / bumping air out while connected.

At first I wanted to interject and say the Santa Cruz Chameleon is a better deal, but really I was wrong....and finally they're putting T/As. I bought an 22 X-caliber 9 in the blue to yellow fade for my wife because that's the bike she wanted (for the color), and was really annoyed to find a "Boost 141 QR. The spec is incredibly good with XT/SLX 12sp drivetrain otherwise. This spec is quite good for the price. I do believe the Giant Fathom should be considered when looking at this though. The difference being that Giant is using house brand components for the dropper and fork...and the drivetrain is a step down, but w/ the price difference it could easily be a step up if the same amount of money was spent. That said.....I prefer the geometry on this bike over the Fathom...I never really got along with super steep seat tubes on hardtails. I stand and pedal a lot and it always feels like the saddle isn't far enough back out of the way. ~73-74 is fine but 75+ no bueno...

So, is it worth going for the Roscoe 9 over the 8? Over here in Europe, the price increase from a 7 (€1,699) to an 8 (€2,399) is +€700. Yet, to upgrade from an 8 to a 9 (€2,399) is only another +€300. For this premium the 9 gets a Fox Rhythm 36, Shimano SLX/ XT, and general improvements which lead to a ca.500g weight save over the 8. Therefore, if one is prepared to pay €2,399 for the 8, does it make sense to just fork out the extra €300 and get the 9?
@robertpeters6108
11 ай бұрын
I would say yes definitely it is worth it. You may heard this before but will say again, it is always less expensive to buy a package rather than buying separate components, so always better to buy the best bike you can afford from the start, especially if you plan to upgrade. Because yes the upgrades you get from the 9 will cost much more than 300 if you buy separately. But for someone who is really on a tight budget, upgrading gradually can also make sense to be able to eat and pay the bills lol! That's why the saying goes; buy the best you can afford. Some People can afford building their dream bike from the get go and will purchase a frame set alone and personally choose each component they want on the bike.

Hard tails are the way to go, and can ride the widest array of terrain - including Whistler Bike Park. Gravel bikes are a fad.

11-50 range in that price tag - sorry but that's a rip off. The Roscoe 7 has the 10-51 Deore. The difference betwen the RL Recon and 35 is minimal for the price difference. The R8 is NOT worth the money for the spec. Don't get me wrong, its a great bike.

right, these bikes are too expensive for what they have to offer, if i could compare the new roscoes to my 2020-2021 kona big honzo, got the same rl recon fork, xt rd with xtr shifter and nx/gx rest, mt520 brakes for right under 1300 dollars

73* is not a steep seattube angle. 76* degrees would be a steep seattube which is what this bike needs to have modern geometry. As is, it's just mediocre. Does Trek pay James to make these videos? It's a classic sales technique to oversell the weak feature which is the 73* seatube angle.

@@Jamesthebikeguy I was "poking the bear" because I sensed that something wasn't right. So went to the Roscoe geo chart. The effective seattube angle is 75* while the actual seatube angle is 73*. When talking about geometry, it's the effective STA that matters and 75* makes more sense. However, by modern geometry standards, even 75* STA is not particularly steep. A typical modern trailbike generally has a 76-78* STA.

@@sjb1786 yes, the 22 and 23 Roscoe 7, 8 and 9 have no changes. Basically what has happened Trek is just now getting clients their 22 bikes just now in the past month. I ordered mine last year and I was supposed to see it in January and I finally just got it 6 weeks ago due to all the Shipping delays. They have such a back log of bikes and people that have canceled their orders Trek basically made no changes. My Trek dealer can't seem to get bikes in quick enough . I originally tried to order a 22 Roscoe 7 and that was due to arrive in November lol.
