Given these major component changes, this review is no longer current. It now sells for 2,599, a 500 price increase. It now features an Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, RockShox Yari fork, and Bontrager XR2 tires.
Same reason I went with Hope on the Stache. The Trek Stache 7 has seen a significant price increase and component boost since we published this review. I've built it several different ways and I know the hubs will last forever. After riding my other hardtails for a bit, I knew I was going to keep it indefinitely.
If you're going to keep the Stache for a long time, get good stuff, you won't regret it.
Trek stache 7 2017 review pro#
Love them so much, I got a set of Pro 4's laced to Flow EX's on my other hardtail, and these Pro 4's on my Stache. They are super easy to service and are future proof to a great deal.
I've never had ratchet pawls failure or pawl spring failure. I have a stache 9. I've only changed bearings twice and once was just for something to do, not because they needed it. My personal opinion on Hope hubs is that I've got a set of Pro 2's that I had built up in 2008 and are still running strong. Companies have been making crazy looking carbon bikes since the Trimble. I've seen the carbon version in person but that was less unexpected. Hope hubs are likely lighter than the OEM Bontrager branded hubs, but won't be felt as rotating weight because they're so close to the fulcrum of the wheel. Date Build It Unpacking the aluminum Stache 7 I can't help but chuckle at how much frame manipulation is taking place in this 'simple' 29+ hardtail package. You're going from straight gauge to double butted, I'd assume. The rims aren't terribly different: Duroc 655 / Arc40 633. The noticeable rotating weight will be in the spokes. It’s worth pointing out the minimal weight difference between the Domane and Madone bikes here.Click to expand.I saved around 1/2 - 3/4#. We’ll be testing this theory out later this fall as well as getting some time on the new Madone. Trek Greensboro shop owner Chris said the biggest thing you’d notice on the alloy model is the longer wheelbase and geometry rather than the bump absorption. In addition to our review linked above, basic bike info is here.

Madone Six Series Carbon – 58 – 16lb 6oz (7.45kg)ĭomane Six Series Carbon – 58 – 16lb 15oz (7.69kg) Madone WSD Six Series Carbon – 52 – 15lb 4oz (7.19kg)įor the carbon frames, the Madone and Domane are essentially the same between men’s and WSD (Women’s Specific Design) bikes, but spec changes to accommodate gender differences in reach and anatomy. More info on the alloy Domane and 2013 Trek Madone here.ĭomane WSD Six Series Carbon – 54 – 16lb 3oz (7.34kg) I pushed on the saddle hard and it doesn’t have nearly the flex as the carbon model we reviewed. No biggie if you don't kave many hills but you might want to consider changing the cassette out to a 42t. 2018 one other difference is the gearing on the two bikes. The Lexa is the women’s version of the alloy Domane. It did not feel as playful as the Stache. Details on both Superfly bikes and the Stache here.įuel EX Carbon – 19.5 – 26lb 6oz (12.04kg) One of the reps said they weighed one of these 100s with pedals and seat bag and it was just under 26lbs. Now we wait to see if it comes back in 27.5″/650B form. Anyone else notice that the Top Fuel is gone from the lineup? It’s absence is Trek’s way of saying the short travel 26″ XC bike is history.
