Trek Roscoe 7 review

The all-new Roscoe promises thrills for all abilities

Andy Lloyd / Immediate Media

Luke Marshall

Lots of frame sizes to choose from; Shimano Deore gears work well; Best frame protection on test

Wide tyres can feel vague and roll at high speeds; Weak brakes compared to others; TranzX dropper post was sticky

Earlier this year, Trek revamped its Roscoe range with a significant geometry update and a move to 29in wheels, from 650b+.

The changes were intended to take it from an entry-level cross-country bike to a confident trail ripper.

With a focus on providing fun and thrills for all levels of riders, does the new Roscoe deliver a better riding experience? And how does it compare to the best hardtails we've tested?

Trek Roscoe 7 frame details

At the heart of the Roscoe 7 is Trek’s Alpha Gold aluminium. The mid-spec aluminium construction features butted tubes for a better strength-to-weight ratio and smoothed-out welds.

In addition, the frame's parallel seatstays and top tube give it an almost dirt-jump bike appearance.

There’s plenty of frame clearance for the Trek’s wide 2.6in tyres.

Also, there’s space for two water bottles in the frame.

Finally, it features some of the best frame protection for a hardtail we’ve seen, with decent chainstay cover and a down tube fender to help see off rock strikes.

You get semi-internal cable routing through the down tube, plus it comes with boost hub spacing.

Trek Roscoe 7 geometry

The geometry updates give the Roscoe a capable 65-degree head tube angle and up-to-date 74.7-degree effective seat tube angle.

Trek has modernised the reach numbers too, and the size large tested comes with a fairly lengthy 470mm reach. Chainstay lengths are a short 430mm across all sizes.

There are six sizes available and sensible seat tube lengths, so you should be able to choose between sizes depending on your reach or wheelbase preference.

For example, suppose you prefer a nimbler bike. In that case, you can select a smaller size, or, if you prefer something more stable, you should be able to size up and still not run into issues with the seat tube being too long.

Our large test bike came with a 450mm seat tube. On paper, the Roscoe’s geometry looks future-proofed.

Trek Roscoe 7 specifications

For this price, at £1,400, Trek hasn’t made too many compromises to the Roscoe’s spec.

You get a RockShox Recon Silver RL fork with 140mm travel, which features an air spring, external compression and rebound adjustments that mean you can set up the fork for your weight and riding style.

The drivetrain is Shimano’s 1x12 speed Deore range , a capable performer with a wide-range 10-51t cassette.

This is matched to a 30-tooth chainring, so there’s plenty of gear range to winch up the steepest climbs, and the smallest 10-tooth sprocket should prevent spinning out on fast descents.

The most noticeable downgrade is the brakes. Shimano’s MT 200 series use a less sophisticated level.

However, they still feature reach adjustment to help setup for your hand size.

Otherwise, most of the remaining kit is from Bontrager, Trek's in-house brand, including the Line Comp 30 wheels with a 30mm internal rim width. These support the wide 2.6in XR4 Team Issue tyres.

The cockpit's 780mm bar and 50mm stem are from Bontrager also, and it’s good to see Trek speccing wider bars and shorter stems for better control and handling.

The dropper post is from TranzX, and our size large test bike uses a 150mm drop.

Trek Roscoe 7 ride impressions

I tested the Roscoe at several of my favourite riding spots around the Forest of Dean, and my local woods, in both rain and shine.

Trails ranged from flowing blues to steep off-piste tech and everything in between, with the majority spent on natural singletrack.

Setup was pretty simple being a hardtail, but I found that I needed more air pressure in the forks than recommended.

Trek Roscoe 7 climbing performance

For the most part, the seated pedalling position on the Roscoe is good, and it’s a comfortable bike to ride.

The 74.7-degree effective top tube puts you in an efficient pedalling position, and I never felt the pedals were too far in front of me, even with my clipless cleats slammed as far back as they can go in my shoes.

I felt I was in a strong position to put the power down when needed.

The weight distribution between the wheels is okay. However, on steeper climbs, the short 430mm chainstay and longer 470mm reach on the size large meant I did have to shuffle forwards on the saddle to keep the front wheel tracking well.

I noticed with the Trek how big the tyres are, especially compared to other bikes in a similar category.

Even though they measure at 2.5 inches (63mm) wide, they have a large volume, especially compared to the 2.6in Vee Snap tyres on the comparable Saracen Zenith Elite that measure just 2.35in (60mm).

It gives the Trek a tractor-like character, which has pros and cons. The bigger volume offers excellent comfort and additional puncture protection, so you can get away with running slightly lower pressures.

This is great for helping smooth out trail chatter and finding traction on climbs, and it sure makes the Roscoe one of the comfier hardtails out there.

I had zero complaints about Shimano’s 1x12 Deore drivetrain, which worked with the feeling of more expensive parts.

The gear range was ample, the shifting felt crisp and I was confident and happy with their performance when shifting under load.

Trek Roscoe 7 descending performance

Overall, the Trek was a fun bike to ride. The 140mm forks, the cushioning of the tyres and 65-degree head tube angle meant it smoothed out the trails impressively and gave confidence to its handling in all but the highest-speed turns.

The low-slung top tube gives you space to move the bike side-to-side underneath you, and the 150mm dropper post keeps the saddle out of the way.

The short rear end does help liven the ride up and makes the Roscoe more agile, but it’s not the most poppy hardtail out there.

I’d say it prefers to carve through the corners instead of being thrashed around, although quick changes of direction aren’t a hindrance.

However, when pushed hard on faster downhill trails, the wide tyres tend to squirm and have a vague feeling. It’s not a lack of grip, just that you can feel the tyres roll on the rim, which is unnerving.

I wasn’t too impressed with the TranzX dropper post, which had a little more friction than other cheaper posts I’ve used. It got the job done when needed but isn’t as refined as other posts.

The brakes were adequate for mellow trails but became overwhelmed on steeper sections and in wet conditions.

I did find the RockShox Recon fork needed higher air pressures than recommended. However, the performance was still admirable, with good progression while remaining sensitive enough off the top.

The 32mm stanchions can become out-gunned, but this only becomes noticeable when pushing harder down technical descents.

A part of this will be down to the tyres, but I never felt the ride was overly harsh or fatiguing. The frame feels stiff and direct but doesn’t compromise comfort.

The frame protection for a bike at this price is impressive, and it does help to quieten the bike down, which is a bonus.

Trek Roscoe 7 bottom line

For the money, the Trek is a capable performer and can be pushed harder than you might expect. It takes the buzz out of the trails and is happy pedalling for all-day epics or blasts around the local woods.

The brakes and dropper post are the biggest flaws, but these can be upgraded over time, and the Roscoe’s new geometry should keep it relevant for a while.

So if you’re looking for a fun mountain bike experience without breaking the bank, the new Roscoe is worth a second take.

How we tested

The £1,500 mark has become a highly competitive price point for hardtail mountain bikes in recent years, with many brands offering versatile builds that pack in a solid spec for the money.

We put four trail-focused hardtails around the £1,500 mark to the test to see which came out on top.

All four of the bikes on test are built tough to withstand some abuse, so while they may not be as fast over the roughest terrain as a more expensive full-suspension rig, they shouldn’t be any less fun to ride.

While the hardtails tested here all serve a similar purpose, individual brands often prioritise different ride characteristics, giving each machine its own feel. These reviews and our in-depth buyer’s guide to the best hardtail mountain bikes should help narrow down the choice.

Trek Roscoe 6, 7, 8, and 9 Compared: Which One to Choose?

CyclistsHub is supported by its readers. We may receive a commission if you buy products using our links.

I’ll help you navigate the Trek Roscoe mountain bike family in this article by comparing the Roscoe 6, 7, 8, and 9. You’ll learn about the differences between each model, who they are best suited for, and more. 

Plus, I’ll tell you which model gives you the best value for your money to help make your decision easier.

KEY TAKEAWAY

Trek Roscoe mountain bikes are ideal for trail riding thanks to their geometry and a long fork travel. They also have dropper posts and 1X drivetrains. On the other hand, they are relatively heavy despite not having a rear suspension.

Trek Roscoe 6 vs. 7 vs. 8 vs. 9

The following table summarizes the main differences between all Roscoes that belong among the Trek hardtail mountain bikes .

Roscoe Pros & Cons Summary

I summarized the pros & cons of the Roscoe series below.

Roscoe Pros

• Trail geometry with long fork travel
• Dropper post
• Modern 1X drivetrain
• Tapered head tube
• Availability in multiple sizes and colors
• Compatible with racks, kickstands, etc.
• Partially internal cable routing
• Lifetime warranty

Roscoe Cons

• Relatively heavy
• No full-suspension
• Only aluminum frame

Roscoe Main Features

Let me now explain the most important features of the Trek Roscoe bikes.

Frame and Geometry

All Roscoe bikes have the same aluminum hardtail trail frame , available in XS-XL sizes and many colors that vary between models.

Unlike Trek Marlin bikes , all sizes have the same shape and no curved top tube.

The frame has trail geometry, which means a slack head angle and a longer wheelbase for added stability in technical terrain. It can also fit 140-150mm forks, 29-inch wheels, and up to 2.6″ tires.

However, this geometry makes it less suitable for pedaling uphill than Marlin bikes. But don’t worry. It still climbs well.

It’s worth noting that when I was writing this article, the Roscoe 6 had a different frame than the other models. The frame had wider tire clearance and a slightly different shape.

Roscoe mountain bikes have longer suspension travel ranging from 100mm to 140mm, making riding on technical trails easier.

The Roscoe 6 has a suspension travel of only 120mm, and the XS size has only 100mm travel. The other models have suspension travel of 140mm *. For comparison, Trek X-Calibers and Procalibers have 100mm travel.

*The difference is the type of fork they use, ranging from RockShox to FOX forks.

All Roscoe bikes come with a suspension lockout feature. You can lock the suspension when riding smooth surfaces to reduce energy loss when pedaling.

Wheels and Tires

The wheel size is the same on all Roscoe bikes except for the Roscoe 6, which uses 27.5-inch wheels. The other models use 29-inch wheels , which offer extra stability compared to 27.5-inch wheels.

All Roscoe models except for the Roscoe 6 have the same rims, which are the Bontrager Line Comp 30 rims. These rims are tubeless-ready.

The Roscoe 7-9 models come with Bontrager XR4 Team Issue tubeless tires. These tires have a width of 2.6 inches, which provides enough grip and comfort on rough or loose surfaces.

The groupset is one of the main areas where the different Roscoe models vary, and it’s likely the deciding factor for many people.

The primary difference between them is the number of gears . Fortunately, all Roscoe bikes have a modern 1X drivetrain .

1X drivetrains are popular because they are easy to maintain and shift and lighter than 2X or 3X groupsets. However, they have fewer gears, so you may not always find the ideal one for your preferred cadence.

The Roscoe 6 has only 10 gears, while the higher-end models have 12. The groupsets range from Shimano Deore through SRAM NX Eagle to Shimano XT.

It’s up to you and your preferences to decide which one you choose. As a beginner, you probably won’t notice much difference in shifting speed and reliability.

Another difference between the Roscoe models is their brakes. The Roscoe 6 and 7 use Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes , while the other models use MT520 and MT6120, respectively.

The MT200 brakes are only 2-piston, while the MT420 and MT6120 are 4-piston, providing better stopping power.

If you like to push your bike to the limits or are a heavier rider, you will appreciate the additional stopping power provided by the 4-piston brakes. This is achieved by larger brake pads and braking area.

All Roscoe bikes come with a dropper post , which is especially useful on trails and descents where the saddle can obstruct you. With the dropper post, you can easily lower it (and subsequently raise it for more comfortable pedaling).

Roscoe bikes also have partially internally routed cables to improve their appearance and internal cable guides to prevent rattling inside the frame.

The frame also has a double-sided chainstay guard and a downtube guard for protection on rough terrain.

Roscoe frames also have mounts for kickstands and racks , making it easy to install these accessories.

You can also use a Blendr stem , which is a mechanism that allows you to easily attach Bontrager’s accessories like lights, speedometers, or bike computers.

Lastly, Roscoe bikes come with lock-on grips that are easier to install and replace than slip-on grips.

So, which bike from the Roscoe family is the best?

In my opinion, the Roscoe 8 provides the best value for the money. It features 4-piston disc brakes and an SRAM NX Eagle groupset, two significant upgrades compared to the Roscoe 7.

The price difference between the Roscoe 8 and 9 might be difficult to justify for less experienced riders, even though it comes with a better groupset and fork.

On the other hand, I recommend avoiding the Roscoe 6, as it has an older frame, 27.5-inch wheels, and shorter fork travel.

Trek Roscoe FAQ

Trek Roscoe mountain bikes are a great option for riders who want to tackle technical trails on a budget. Roscoe bikes are reasonably priced and feature geometry designed for better stability on technical terrain. They come in various sizes and colors to ensure you find the best fit. It’s also worth noting that Roscoe bikes come with a dropper post, a valuable feature on technical trails. However, Roscoe frames are made of aluminum only, making them heavier than other options. Additionally, the components on Roscoe bikes don’t reach high-end status. As a result, performance-oriented mountain bikers may want to consider other series.

Roscoe bikes (7 to 9) differ mainly in components like the groupset, fork, brakes, weight, and price. The Roscoe 6 has a slightly different frame and different components. I recommend reading this entire article for more information and a helpful comparison table.

Roscoe mountain bikes are an excellent choice for riders who want an affordable hardtail trail bike. They are versatile and feature modern trends like a 1X drivetrain and dropper post. Plus, they have mounting options that make adding accessories like racks and kickstands easy. The high-volume tires and long front suspension travel make for a comfortable ride by absorbing large bumps.

Roscoe mountain bikes are relatively heavy, considering their price range. They also don’t come with the highest-end components or a carbon frame. The suspension fork could also be better.
