The carbon bike will have a higher gear ratio (ability to go faster on pavement or smooth trail), but I'm running 30x11-40 on my Stache and rarely use my highest gear because I ride in the woods.not on the street. Not really sections I would pedal anyways. The 7 will climb better (easier) because the lowest gear is 18.6' vs 19.5' on the 9.7. Granted, my local trails sometimes yield sections in excess of 30mph or more, but it's downhill standing, coasting. Most of the people with this configuration are riding off road trails that really don't have enough wide open smooth pedalable sections to warrant such high gearing. Why is nobody sympathetic to your complaint?Īmong the mountain bike community, most of us know how to do minor changes to suit our region or style. It's a high performance machine designed to be ridden off road.Īsk yourself a couple of quick questions: Why are you the only one complaining about it. You bought a mountain bike, not a hybrid, not a bike to ride on the pavement to your trail. ![]() You want it geared differently, go spend 30 bucks on the chainring of you're choice. Blaming Trek for something like this is a prime example of the modern problems of society. You wouldn't even use you high gear in my neck of the woods. It would work fine for the majority of trail riding. )Ĭlick to expand.They didn't make a mistake, they used what they wanted. /rebates/2fus2fenUS2fbikes2fmountain-bikes2ftrail-mountain-bikes2fstache2fstache-72fp2f220862f&252fus252fenUS252fbikes252fmountain-bikes252ftrail-mountain-bikes252fstache252fstache-7252fp252f22086252f26tc3dbing-&idtrekbikes&nameTrek+Bicycle&ra6. Moreover, I found that in the 2019 model they increased the frontal bump back to 30T so that in practice they actually found that their choice was wrong.īottom line, I do not recommend buying this model, and in lite of their type "good responses" if I will purchase any other bike from this manufacturer in future (after 3 previous models I had from them. In contrast, the slowest 28T / 46T mode is too slow and is not useful.Īll my calls to the company to replace the frontal touch with greater learning were not answered and ignored!

Downhill performance of the bike is also fairly good, but you need to be more alert. You can even master the trails if you ride it right. We recommend this plus-sized bike for fast rides over buff trails, with no sharp corners. The gear set (Crank and cassette) of this 2018 model has been downgraded compared to any Stache 7 of previous years (2017 or 2016) as well as to any similar models of the company or of of any other manufacturers. This Trek Stache 9.7 review signifies that the bike is fast, nimble, agile and rolls over most obstacles. First of all, with the gear set, and even more with the manufacturer response (or lack/poor response.). ![]()
