As we’ve learned over the past few weeks, however, first impressions aren’t everything, but we certainly have done a lot of laughing whilst riding this thing, it’s a whole lot of fun! Ahead of our review, here is a little preview of this very unique bike. Oh, and does anyone know what a Chupacabra actually …
Huge amounts of traction from the 29+ tyres.
Stranglehold dropout allows for 29+, 29" or 27.5+ wheels.
Geometry is fun and lively.
Manitou fork axle is very fiddly.
No dropper post.

Call it what you want — tweeners, plus size, midfat, skinny fat — plus size bikes are here and the industry is latching on, for better or for worse. By mid-summer 2016, you can expect to see a 27.5+ bike in the wheelhouse of every major bike brand. However, 29.5+ is far less common, with Trek Bikes being one of the only major brands to adopt these extra tall, extra wide crawlers.

First they got bigger, now they’re getting wider — who says you can’t reinvent the wheel? The new Trek Stache 9 29+ hardtail rolls on 3in rubber
Makes you grin like an idiot every ride
Tyres get destroyed in rocky terrain and it's bloody expensive

With its big, meaty Bontrager tires, nimble hardtail design with stubby 420mm chainstays, and attractive $3700 price tag, is the Stache 9 an affordable alternative to a full-suspension trail bike? - Mtbr.com

Heavy but light-handling and responsive enough to be a lot of confidently controlled fun on technical trails
