Trek Roscoe 7 review

Nov 2021 · Luke Marshall

The Roscoe’s a well-rounded package that delivers an engaging ride, but with a few compromises

Highs
  • Lots of frame sizes to choose from

  • Shimano Deore gears work well

  • Best frame protection on test

Lows
  • Wide tyres can feel vague and roll at high speeds

  • Weak brakes compared to others

  • TranzX dropper post was sticky

Trek Roscoe 6 review - MBR

Jul 2019 · Paul Burwell

Trek Roscoe 6 is a plus bike with 120mm travel fork, a bolt through axle, and an aluminium frame that wouldn’t look out of place on a £1,000 hardtail.

Highs
  • Top quality frame, large volume tyres add comfort

Lows
  • Lacks zip and the tyres lack edge for carving

Trek Roscoe 9 review

Apr 2018

Trek's Roscoe 9 marries an aluminium frame with trail riding orientated geometry to chubby 2.8" Plus tyres on 27.5" rims. While it doesn't jam in as much value as direct sales rivals, it more than makes up for that with a fun, refined ride and coherent kit list.
