While it can feel nervous and fluttery at first, the long wheelbase means it’s still an impressively stable bike once you learn to trust it, and the low bottom bracket means you can really rip it through corners with wheels scrabbling as you search for the exit point. The overall result is that you’ll still be surprised what the Stache can batter through (and at what speed) compared to a smaller-wheeled suspension bike. The G2 geometry also gives a distinctively light feel to the steering, so you have little trouble turning the big front wheel in sharply, even with a 90mm stem. The rear wheel screens out more chatter compared to some smaller-wheeled bikes, too, although you definitely get more of a wallop off bigger stuff than with some. The fat carcass 29er tyres also roll over rough stuff really well for serious speed sustain once you’ve got them going. While it’s not light, the Recon fork is smooth enough and the extra 20mm of travel over most 29er hardtails makes a big difference in control and confidence on big drops, rocks and logs. It puts a lot of torque and traction down on climbs and marshy ground, too, clearing with ease several test moorland sections that have stumped us for a while.

International Standard Chain Guide mounts offer easy chain guide installation and adjustment. This wider stance also mimics the benefits of an OCLV Carbon-only technology, BB95. This provides a wider stance for the frame’s tubing juncture, resulting in a stronger frame. Press-fit BB is a bottom bracket shell that allows the bearings to press into the frame rather than threading in as on standard bottom brackets.
Sleek ports at the head tube and near the seat tube let you run your derailleur housing directly through the frame, keeping the cable protected from the elements and your bike running smooth, clean, and quiet. RockShox Reverb Stealth routes the hydraulic housing directly through the frame for the sleekest setup you've seen. E2 tapers from a 1.5" lower to a 1-1/8" upper headset to provide more material where it matters most, resulting in a stronger, lighter frame with point-and-shoot control.ĭropper posts are great for while-you-ride seat height adjustments, but cable routing has always been an issue. Frames built with Alpha Platinum are hydroformed to create the most sophisticated shapes for the lightest weight, and are finished using Trek's smooth-weld finishing process.Į2 is the evolution of the traditional 1-1/8" headset to a tapered head tube, fork, and headset system. Our premium lightweight aluminum is continuously cold extruded and butted at multiple points for ultimate weight reduction and superior strength. Hardtails offer the robust performance of a closed thru-axle system with the convenience of a system that can accept 142x12 or 135x5 rear spacing. It’s why Trek 29ers handle better than any others. We solved that with G2 Geometry, featuring a custom-offset fork and advanced frame geometry for precise handling at low speed without compromising high-speed stability.
Conventional wisdom says 29ers have sleepy handling compared to 26" wheel bikes.
