2022 Trek Roscoe 6 Review

• by Riding With Ryan (Official)

In this 2022 Trek Roscoe 6 review we will cover dropper posts, Marlin comparisons, tubeless tires and more. First, a quick background on the Roscoe.

Trek came out with their Roscoe for 2018. The bike was, and still is, a trail hardtail bike with 27.5″ plus tires. There have been modifications to the Roscoe each year, but nothing quite as drastic as 2022. These new bikes are considered second generation, with the 2018-2021 years being first generation.

The big changes haven’t trickled down to the Roscoe 6 yet, but Roscoe 7 and up models now have 140mm forks and 29 x 2.6 inch wheels. More slack in the headtube helps with stability on steep descents, while a shorter chain stay makes it easy to whip. They also come with Boost148 giving you wider dropouts.

The Roscoe 6 has Boost141 spacing, 120mm of travel in the front fork. The wheels that came with mine are 27.5 x 2.8 inch Schwalbe Rocket Ron tires, but according to Trek’s website the 2022 Roscoe 6 comes with Kenda Havok tires. With current global supply chain issues being what they are, bikes are getting spec’d with what is available.

With the new Trek Roscoe 6 you will ride farther and have more fun than ever before. Dehydration out on the trails is nothing to joke around about. I always ride with a hydration pack that has a three liter bladder. I’ve been extremely happy with the lifetime warranty on my CamelBak MULE. ( Check Current Price on Amazon Here ) There have been two times where my pack was damaged during a backslide down a trail. It was a quick and easy exchange in both situations.

Trek Roscoe 6 Dropper Post

The 2022 Trek Roscoe 6 comes with a dropper post. It is thrilling to see a bike at this price point equipped with such a cool feature. For a beginner mountain biker this dropper post will feel amazing compared to the quick release adjustment on other hardtails.

The TranzX dropper post works perfectly fine, but I question its durability long term. It feels rough and chunky compared to the Cannondale DownLow dropper on my full suspension bike. So far my Roscoe 6 has taken some abuse and the dropper post is holding strong, but time will tell.

Trek Roscoe vs Trek Marlin

I don’t like comparing two different bikes in a review, but as a Trek Marlin owner too, the most common question I get is, “How does the Roscoe compare to the Marlin?”

The easiest way to compare the two bikes is to first look at the facts, then the feel. The facts are favorable to the Marlin when you compare the two bikes. The 2022 Trek Roscoe 6 weighs in at 34.9 lbs while the 2022 Trek Marlin 6 weights in at 31.1 lbs. The Marlin’s 29 x 2.2 inch tires are a lot faster than the plus tires on the Roscoe.

The feel of the Trek Marlin 6 is faster and much more playful on smooth trails. It crushes singletrack courses with ease. When the trail gets a little chunky the advantage swings heavily back to the Roscoe. I feel much more comfortable carrying high speeds on the Roscoe, while the Marlin doesn’t give me as much confidence. The lack of a dropper post on the Trek Marlin 6 is also an advantage for the Roscoe.

Both bikes come with a 1x drivetrain, but the Roscoe suspension has 20mm additional travel. For a more in-depth review on the Marlin read this Trek Marlin 6 Review . Both bikes are awesome, but I prefer riding the Marlin around town and saving my Roscoe for the trails.

Is The 2022 Trek Roscoe 6 Tubeless?

Yes, the Roscoe 6 comes with Alex MD35 wheels that are tubeless compatible. You will need to apply rim tape, add sealant and a tubeless valve to complete the tubeless conversion. The benefits of tubeless tires when mountain biking are substantial. First, thorns no longer cause flats thanks to your sealant filling those holes. Most importantly, though, is the fact that you can run a slightly lower tire pressure without risking pinch flats. The lower pressure gives you additional traction on the trails.

To conclude this 2022 Trek Roscoe 6 review, those seeking an exceptionally well equipped hardtail that is both playful and fast will enjoy this bike. The extra travel in the front fork compared to the Marlin means you can get even more aggressive on the trails. Finally, the 27.5 option with 2.8″ tires rides incredibly smooth. The wider tire add a bit of extra suspension, especially if you are setup tubeless and running lower tire pressure. However, thrill seekers will want to equip their Roscoe with the 2.4″ wide 29ers. They make this bike both comfortable and incredibly fast.

7 thoughts on “2022 Trek Roscoe 6 Review”

Does the Rosco 6 allow you to adjust the height of the seat by pushing a lever while riding?

That feature is called a dropper post, and yes, The Roscoe 6 does include a dropper post.

I’m looking forward to trying the Trek Roscoe 6!

Do you find the plus size tires on the Roscoe 6 make it sluggish on flats and climbs?

Yes! But for me it’s all about the ride downhill.

Have you gone tubeless with this Roscoe 6? I have the exact same bike with the AlexMD35 rims and Rocket Ron tires and I was told by an employee at my local Trek store that the rims and tires were not tubeless compatible. I feel like I’m getting the run around and don’t want to waste money on rim tape, sealant, and valves if it’s not going to work. Thanks!

Technically they are not tubeless ready, but they are tubeless compatible. I have mine setup tubeless and have not had any issues.

2019 Trek Roscoe 6 / Upgrade from 27.5 Wheels to 29

• Add to quote

According to a different post apparently the Trek Website states you can up to a 29 x 2.4, but wasn't exactly sure. Front Hub is a Formula DC511, Boost 110 Rear Hub is a Formula DC2241, Boost 141 Any thoughts? I am about 5'11 on a M/L 18.5 inch frame, and it seems at times the bike feels small, this is the only reason I am considering it. Anyone done anything similiar? I really just stick to local trails and love doing XC with a decent amount of climbs. I do like how nimble and quick it is on turns but if I can upgrade without any major spend that would be preferred. I am still just early into my mountain biking passion, but starting to get the bug... Thanks for any info! - Carl  

The bike uses a Boost quick release 141mm rear hub. This means you need a wheel with either that kind of hub, or a Boost 148 thru axle hub with endcaps that can be converted. If you intend to keep on with this hobby the endcap-conversion is a better choice. By far the majority of bikes right now are Boost thru axle. The wheels that came with your bike are pretty cheap and aftermarket wheels are usually an upgrade. You will be shopping used to do it for any price that seems reasonable to you. An option is to build your own wheels, which you can do with the hubs you already have, or new ones, and new rims and spokes. Don't forget tires in your budget. Nice ones might cost as much as the rims. If you buy a whole used wheelset you can probably find someone selling it with the tires but they won't be fresh!  

Your fork likely won’t take a 29-inch wheel.
