If the Trek Stache looks like a bike that would be fun where you ride then it's probably one of the most fun bikes for where you ride. We're well over a decade removed from the idea that everyone needs a burly bike with lots of travel and as much as I'm passionate about hardtails with bleeding edge slack head tube angles, hugely aggressive (slow rolling) tires and DH brakes, I recognize that that's not an ideal setup for most places. Maximizing the Stache experience is all about being honest about where and how the bike will be ridden. Frames built with Alpha Platinum are hydroformed to create the most sophisticated shapes for the lightest weight, and are finished using Treks smooth-weld finishing. Or maybe call it $3000 (USD) with an X-Fusion Manic dropper post and the air system in the fork upgraded to Manitou's awesome Dorado air system. Alpha Platinum Aluminum: Our premium lightweight aluminum is continuously cold extruded and butted at multiple points for ultimate weight reduction and superior strength. These axles are beefier than the standard 9mm quick-release axles found on a vast majority of police bikes, allowing. The bike utilizes a 15mm thru-axle in front and a 142-12mm axle in the rear. It sports a 120mm Rockshox Recon Silver air-sprung fork with 32mm stanchions. It is dialed out of the box and I think it offers a lot of value for $2700 (USD). The Trek Stache 7 is equipped with a healthy and robust mix of components. Location dependent I could definitely see it being my only bike - with a 3" DHF 3c on tap for road trips and I know a lot of riders for whom it would be a great second bike.
It sacrifices some level of intuitiveness for a very clean appearance and excellent performance and after I'd used it once it was fast to adjust the wheelbase at home in the shop. I did play around with the Trek's wheelbase via their Strangehold system. This is unfortunate because the conditions where it shines parallel perfect trails for one gear riding.

Unfortunately, the stock XD driver wheel and a lack of a Boost replacement of sufficient rim width prevented me from testing the Stache as a single speed. The ultimate mix of traction, support and comfort comes from airing the tires down until they feel a bit squirrely pushing into corners and then adding a few pumps of air at a time until they don't. At this point, I was bottoming the ultra supple Chupacabra tires onto the rims more often than I would have liked on my personal bike but the ride quality was excellent. With the Huck Norris system installed I kept the air pressure in the same zone and rode on with a feeling of impunity.

I suppose one could get a 7, sell off the Yari and buy an 1120 fork and get everything except the slick rear rack plus a more playful 22/410 over-under toy. I can get the Stache 7 for about 500 less locally and get the better 28T x 11-46T gearing. The Chupacabra tires perform best with pressure in the mid-to-low teens. 2014 Trek Fuel Ex 8 2015 Trek FarTrek Stache 7.
