Rob's slackened Stache is a bittersweet reminder of both how awesomely fun these bikes are and how deserving the platform is of a progressive geometry reimaging by Trek.
Unique design with elevated chainstay and sliding dropouts
Fun to ride, inspires smiles
Frames are quiet
Balanced stiffness with big tires and Pike/Mattoc fork
Climbs well out of the saddle
Fast descending
Rob's min-max build offers great value and performance
Stock tires (Chupacabra/XR2) have weak sidewalls, not confidence-inspiring
Geometry not progressive; steep head angle and short chainstays
Trek cancelled good Plus tires (SE4, SE2)
Limited Plus tire options on market
Carbon version may have hindered platform development
Frame not stiff in rear end
Stock i45 rims only suit Plus tires

Technical climbing
Endless grip
Balanced handling
Rear tire clearance
Brakes not up to par

The rugged Trek Full Stache 8 can pretty much go anywhere and roll over anything, making it the human-powered equivalent of a Land Rover.
Go-anywhere attitude with crazy levels of security and traction
Feels slower and heavier at times compared to ‘normal’ mountain bikes

Crikey, what on earth is this!? The words; 'full suspension', '29er' and 'plus tyres' just should never combine in one sentence, there's not enough space! Well, Trek has clearly ignored what you shouldn't do and have produced a bike that would seem impossible.
Limitless traction.
Easy to ride on hard trails.
Bloody good fun.
Big wheel woes.
Very terrain specific.
