That trail is smoother than the paved roads here in PA.
Q: What part of PA has the worst roads?
A: Yes.
And it's blown out to hell right now, it's usually smoother haha. It's the most popular trail on the front range for a reason, well built, flows good, has enough optional lines to be somewhat spicy.
Yeah, you practically need a mountain bike for Pittsburgh’s Dirty Dozen (city ride.)
For 1999 the Roscoe 9 is a NO brainer. Matty helped me pull the trigger on my Roscoe 9 2 year ago. ALOT has happened since then, I've had upgrade-itus multiple times since then and I'm now in a Trek Rail 9.8 gx AXS. Anyone on the fence for a Roscoe 9, totally scoop it up, still love that bike.
Matty, thank you for making these videos! You are enthusiastic and friendly, which make your videos so approachable, especially for a MTB beginner like myself. I love how you always share what you are learning, but it’s also so obvious that you were a very skilled rider. So I am always so excited when you upload a new video. Thank you for sharing your journey, and for helping me with mine. I am having fun on my brand new Trek Roscoe 9, purchased on sale!
I got the Roscoe 9 a year ago based on your reviews. And man, I love it so much! What fantastic bike and at $1,999 that’s just a crazy good deal.
On your computer screen the only size available was a S... but that is one hell of a deal for anyone under 5'4!
The price is the same for all sizes
You would have to check with your local dealer for trek bikes to see if they have your size !
They sold out fast this season. Im glad I got mine last year. They are hard to find now sometimes.
I love my brand new Roscoe 7 teal black Nice bike but you gotta love that Roscoe 9 Happy trails
Same with my Roscoe 7. Can’t wait to upgrade parts as they break/wear!
Excellent video Matty. It's cool to see you on the roscoe again
Just ordered the R9 Crimson Red( europe) version for €1800. Will have it on Tuesday or Wednesday. Can't wait!!!
Awesome video. I’m a bit of a Roscoe 9 lover myself😂 now I’m just waiting for the Roscoe9+ to come out
“I’m not looking for power, I’m looking for easy”….. Me too 🤣🤣
What a beautiful set of wheels!!!
Paid full price for my Roscoe9 back in 22 and srill loving it, size L i run 105 fork psi and 2clicks out on rebound from slow i think
I recognize those socks you're wearing because I've got a pair, too. Sedona Mountain Bike Fest 2023!
Bro you were flying on some segments of that singletrack! Nice camerawork 👍
Man that is an awesome flow trail.
Almost didnt' recognize you without something on your head. LOL.
I just started using foam tire insert. Never like them before cause too heavy over 1/4lbs., but now Vittoria has a 50g insert that I put in my XC, trail and enduro bike.
still loving that paintjob. Trek has decent paint designs
Love that shirt! Representing Broomfield Colorado ❤
I bought my trek fuel ex7 for 2999.00. Definitely worth it. Eats up all the trails around m3 in NH
no. it is all the buyers forking over thousands of dollars for over priced bikes. buy only when it is on sale or clearance and don't encourage the brands to inflate their prices.
Cadence sensors are mostly a roadie thing, although the new electronic rockshox suspension requires one, so it knows when you are pedaling so it can firm up.
Giant roadbikes have (had) a hole cut into the chainstay for a proprietary one. It also had a wheels speed sensor. More expensive bikes/frames came with them preinstalled.
Yeah stages power meters come installed into a Shimano or SRAM left crank arm if you order a stages power meter.
Bought mine at the start of the Trekfest sale for that price. Hard to find any size bigger than a S right now. I managed to get the last M/L in the Denver metro from the Trek in Broomfield. Been loving it.
Nice!!
Love the Roscoe 9! Great video mate
Dude hell yeah, THANK YOU for lowering your seat when shooting clips of your bike posted up. Everyone pops that dropper lever and I think it makes ALL bikes look silly. Props for knowing what looks good. Haha
I just bought the Roscoe 8 for $1600. I love it.
I’ve always thought this bike was your jam! Love it!
I got the trek roscoe 8 in CA down from 2999.99 to 1999.99 the roscoe9 was 3499.99 & onsale for 2499.99 I wanted to get the roscoe 9 cause I liked the color but all out of stock in my size couldn't even order 1 in they had lots of roscoe 8 available
Good luck finding your size, only size Smalls left.
you've got a great outlook on life. nice video!
Good ride man! Thanks for sharing!
I've neve seen a trail like this. Only rocks, roots and steep punches in northern NY state, VT and western MA.
Man the Roscoe 6 went down even cheaper than the deal it was at this spring. I kind of regret getting the marlin 6 for only 150$ less
"Bikes only" is the type of placard we all want to see.
🫵🏾 don't speak for everyone....Speak for yourself!
I feel the 9 would be perfect at $1800 as its non sale pricing. When I was building my HT up I really considered the 9 but its msrp is in the frame up build price range and I just couldn't justify that.
I just bought an 8 last week. Tried to get a 9 but as already mentioned, only S are left online. A couple shops within 100 miles of me have both M&ML in stock but they want full retail.
I’ll wait to see if they come back in stock, if they do, I’ll pick one up.
I got the last size medium on the Colorado front range!
my exs parents live in longmont. when we wanted to go to flat irons mall we would drive past broomfield. i love colorado.
No one can get a Roscoe 9 unless they ride a small and its only available at that price because they were/are trying to get rid of old inventory
That trail looks like a blast!
The Roscoe 9, as shown, in the screen image behind you, is only available in size small. At 6’4”, that is not a bargain for me.
I love your videos. Thanks. Please keep up the good work.
Thank you! I would check some of the local stores if you have any nearby.
@@MattyActive Thank you but my wife told me that after spending over $10,000 on a Specialized Kenevo SL in 2021 I will never buy another bike in this lifetime. She said that if I did, I wouldn’t live long enough to ever ride it.
😂 I agree 10,000 holy shit
It would be cool on your videos to get an idea of how fast you're going along the trail and such! I'd also be curious if there was something where you could also update us on the descents and accents you traverse? Enjoyed the video, thanks for taking along the journey.
I brought a Roscoe 8 for $1,999 a year ago and it had just been reduced from $2,399. It's now $1,599. Oh well- I had a year of fun riding it.
On that climb it looks like if you clear that dip the rest would be easy. Not easy easy but I think you know what I mean. Sometimes in mtb the stuff that looks difficult isnt as bad as you thought once you try it.
Only had small frame available when I looked last
Harder to find size than a Wonka Ticket so I went with Roscoe 8
Just picked mine up today at my local shop for this price today they had one in stock. Coming from a Fuel Ex 9.7 and Session 9.9 both carbon frames, this feels much lighter. Stoked for the first ride!
Great content! I bought a used Yeti SB130 and I rarely open the shocks. I live in Golden and have been riding Bear Creek to work on my skills. Thinking I should sell and get a hard tail. Rutabaga is about as technical as I’d ever want to ride. Hope to see you on the trails someday!
All that on a hard tail...props!
The Gen. 2 Marlin 5 is 20% off at my local dealer in Saudi Arabia. Two problems, though: a. I haven't got the cash to spend, and b. the size medium 29er - the one that actually fits me - is already sold out in any colorway. The size medium Gen. 3 doesn't fit me, and the size small Gen. 3 is 27.5, so I'm 💩 out of luck on this one.
I picked up a Roscoe 6 for $1200 and I love it! Could definitely use a fork upgrade though
I’m so glad they finally made the Roscoe 6 more modern. That’s a great bike and I want one!
I want to save up for the Priority 600 HXT. Or even better, please Priority, bring out an e-hardtail mountain bike just like the 600 HXT but with the integrated Pinion mid drive motor plus gearbox.
I love the HXT! It’s an awesome bike. I have more videos coming very soon on that bike
@@MattyActive Fantastic, looking forward to it Matty. I just discovered you recently and you have a great channel.
Pricing is crazy over here in New Zealand. The Roscoe 9 is $2500 = $1500 usd and the Santa Cruz Chameleon is 6500 = $4000 usd.
I like the newer high pivots seen one this last enduro/dh event
❤️🔥Trek Roscoe 9❤️🔥
Called Trek about a month ago regarding the reduced price but they confirmed that the only size they have is a small. They also said they couldn't find any other sizes at any other locations.
Hopefully they can get some more sizes in and keep that same price.
@@MattyActive Yea, then I'll be second guessing my Roscoe 8 that I bought a year ago for the same price 😁. Jk
I'm new to mountain biking but I have about 10 years of road cycling. That said, I would love to come out west and ride this exact trail. Just picked up a Marlin 5 Gen 3 as my first MTB but so far I'm loving the experience. Do you think the Marlin would be suitable for this specific trail. BTW, I just discovered your channel, and I must say, you've got some great content. 👍🏾👍🏾
I bought my Xcaliber for about 1400. I added on a fox transfer dropper and ended up spending about 2k for it. It’s really a sweet bike!
just picked my roscoe 7 up for 1080 out the door!
I feel physical pain when I think about me paying $1799 for my Roscoe 7, and now it's $1399. But oh well. I hope they put my extra $400 to good use! I'm going Santa Cruz for my full suspension anyway.
Such a fun trail, makes the climb worth it I'm sure. Are they coming out with a new Roscoe model or something? That's usually why they discount the inventory, I doubt they're moving the nine to that price point permanently. Although, I'd welcome it if they were!
Mongoose Ledge X1 build question mark? I know you got a recent soft spot for those good Walmart bikes
that intense 951 is a good bike for the price. think its carbon to.
I’d buy the trek R9 in a heartbeat but of course it’s not available in my size
Trek are strange. I have been interested in a Supercaliber for a couple of years now and finally have enough money. But...can i find one?..No. Nothing anywhere and when i speak to the dealer they are telling me its going to be October. And yet, they are still discounting 2022 Fuels and Top fuels to clear them. I dont get why if they have a line that is actually in demand why dont they just produce more of them???
I think the Polygon Siskiu T8 is a much better deal they are the same price but the siskiu is full suspension
The Roscoe 9 has been at that price for quite some time now. I think they are more than likely just trying to move surplus stock in the limited sizes still available but we shall see. I think they made a mistake not releasing the 9 in more than one color in the US market. Not that it looks bad (I ride one) but it’s just a look ppl either love or hate. I wish bike companies released info on the number of each model they sold the way car companies do. I think it would be pretty interesting to look over the lists.
Those glasses are 🔥
Came to comment section to try to find out what they are. No luck so far
I like how they painted it to make it look like you never wash it.
Isn't it kind of stupid to paint a mountain bike like it's never gonna see rain, let alone shit flying at it.
@@Qlicky Did you not understand my joke, or am I not understanding yours?
Be more funny.
@@barfo281 I understood your joke perfectly, which is why I replied to it in the first place. And it's really not that original, witty, nor funny.
Use more common sense.
@@Qlicky You mad bro?
@@barfo281 Not really. You bro?
I've been wondering if Trek is discontinuing the Roscoe or if a new version is coming later in the year. My local Trek store said they believe it's being dropped and replaced by the Marlin. I wonder if this was just speculation. Would be nice to know since only the small is available and they are hard to find, the Roscoe 9.
They will keep making the roscoe just different paint schemes
Still waiting for a hands-on chameleon comparison. Roscoe 9 certainly wins in spec vs. the R Build Chameleon…. But that mullet chameleon… so good.
awesome bike wanted to pick one of these up but they're sold out :(
Of course they drop prices After I purchase my Roscoe 7…. Could’ve had the 9 for the price almost. 🥺 BUT I’ll build it up as I go.
It's because they only have size small available =P
I want that Roscoe so bad but they don't have stock and I've been told there's no plan for a restock
These bike companies dropping prices like crazy to stay in business. Kona was doing a two for one deal before they got sold.
See if you can borrow the Costco bike to do a video on it.
Better than the Marlin 8 at $999?
A hardtail with mediocre suspension for $2k 😂. You can get the new chisel fs for $2400. But YT has about the best deals right now of anyone.
👋
I want to buy a scott gambler 920. Is it worth it?
Just ordered a Roscoe 8. Tax and delivery 1750$.
I got a marlin 6 gen 3, who eles?
About how fast were you grinding down that path about at the 7:39 point on the video? Btw I love that trek
That's the perfect price for any bike unless you're a professional wanting to ride professionally...
I'm wondering if you should be a channel devoted to hard tail mountain bikes since you have been lately. $1999 for a Roscoe right now but you didn't mention $2199 for a Fuel EX 5 or Top Fuel 5 on Trek's website (same sale). For $200 more you'll have a more versatile bike for a broader audience of consumers.
Hey Matt, would it make sense for me to buy a Roscoe 8? I rented a Mtb a couple of times and really like it or should I just something buy something cheaper online or used?
They only have small's
man i grabbed a roscoe 7 for $1080 yesterday. thats a lot of bike for 1k flat
what is the name of this trail and where is it?
just saw the description lol
Treat yourself right .... get yourself a Santa Cruz and enjoy the good life
TREK is nothing more than a rebadged GIANT
What trail is that?
Your friend is totally incorrect on cranks length versus gears. You need easier gears if you have shorter cranks because they give you less leverage.
Riding a hardtail on that kind of stuff is really harsh. Your zipping through it faster than I would on my full sus.
You might be surprised how much of a difference those relatively huge tires make on the Roscoe. Aired appropriately for whatever terrain it really doesn’t ride too harsh at all.
I think I heard your hub ratchet 1200 miles away...
What’s the cheapest trek
The marlin 4, 5, and 6
XL and L frame have been out of stock for a long time now though 👎
Still way too expensive for a hardtail!
I got a new epic Evo VII for 2399....
I could care less.....
@hanestshirtsarecool you couldn't care less. I could care less means you care.
Unless you mean you really care in which case I can wax poetic...
Bro you and me both bought our Roscoe 9 for the full $2799 😫
Stop whining!
I paid 2200 for my R9 and I don't regret it one bit!!!
Bigger crank = more leverage = easier. Shorter crank = harder to pedal, smaller range of motion.
