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 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. Review: Genesis Tarn 20 - a steel framed Plus tyre trail hardtail Buying your first mountain bike: our guide to everything you need to know Review: Trek Fuel EX5 Women's 27.5 Plus - confidence inspiring Plus trail susser The Roscoe is a bit of a departure for Trek.
