Will Trek continue to produce the Roscoe 9? They appear to be sold out in the US, and I was wondering if there will be a 2024 offering. The 8 is on sale, but I am not sure about the fork.... Thank you for the reviews!
I was just trying to order myself the Roscoe 7 yesterday at my local trek dealer but they said they wouldn’t take delivery of that bike until November 2022 so I opted for the Roscoe 8 which they already have on order and I will have it in January. I am sure I will be happy since my current mt bike is 20 years old lol.
Great overview video. I preordered the 9 yesterday and I am excited to get that bike! I have a 2021 Fuel EX8 which I love but wanted to add a hard tail to my bike collection. Glad I waited. That thru axle improvement is really confidence inspiring. 🤘🏼
For the past few months I couldn't decide if I were to get Roscoe 7, 8 or 9. Thank you for the wonderful explanation, I will be ordering Roscoe 7 soon :)
I ordered one from the local bike shop last year and just got it in last week. It ended up being the '22 model of the Roscoe 8. Coming from a Flightline DX2, this is amazing to ride. Absolutely love it.
Great comparison video. I'm getting into mountain biking on a very tight budget so I went with the Roscoe 6. It's a shame the frame isn't the same as the higher end models but I guess they have to save money somewhere. I will certainly upgrade to something nicer once I have more money when I finish college and in my career. The 6 should get me by until then.
A lot of great information here. Thanks. As I was watching the vid I was gonna post a question asking what you thought was the best value out of the 4 but you even covered that too. Well done.
Excellent video, the 7 looks like the best option. Can anyone tell me if the internal cables rattle as they don’t have the control freak cable management system?
Roscoes always get the best colorways. No rack mounts on the 7-9 puts an end to having the most bad ass commuter. Also, looks like the 7 is the best for me
Looking at the 2022 roscoe 6 and the marlin 7 + buying a dropper post, which one would you get? They are similar except for the fork, rim, tire, tire size, and seat post. I’m a novice to mountain biking, so your insight would be helpful
Just picked up a Roscoe 7 in a matte black, BEASTLY! and after viewing this video, I’ll upgrade in the future to better brakes and suspension. Brakes first 😏
Got a 6 a few months ago, I haven’t been into biking for about 20 years. So the roscoe 6 was more than every bike I’ve ever bought combined. So far I am really enjoying it, but wish I would have watched this first, I would have bit the bullet and gone for the 7.
Really digging the Teal Roscoe 7. Do you have them available at the Trek Sacramento store yet? Or at least do you have an idea on what lead time is if I order from store?
Hello, I’m in Dallas Tx, trying to find a Roscoe 7. Unfortunately everyone is saying it won’t come in until Spring 2022. From what you know, has the bike been released and if not when might it get released? Any idea what’s a quicker way to get it before then? 😅😅
It has been released but there are still a lot of part shortages and bicycle companies have been pretty backed up. Unfortunately those ETA dates are pretty far out :(
Love your channel. I'm looking for a new bike. Mine is 2009 Gary Fisher Cobia. I love to ride single track plus time on the bike paths and gravel roads. I love how you compare each new line up. Do you have any suggestions on what I should buy? Keep up the great work 👍
The pins that go thru the caliper are a touch longer. How do you get hold of them if you need replacements. The ones that come with the shimano pads are too small.
Thanks. This was very helpful as I’m looking for a new bike as I got a 2022 marlin 5 and didn’t know I was gonna be riding as hard as I do. Trying to find a good budget bike. Also I wanna give trek another shot since I do know the marlin is for XC and not mountain.
I currently ride xc and am getting into enduro. I currently own a fuel ex 9.8 and use it for all my riding. I’m looking to get a hard tail for xc and will likely upgrade my fuel to a bigger enduro bike. I love the roscoes but do u think they’ll hold up for xc or should I look for something lighter
@@TalalipopMTB can I ask how long it takes for an average store to get a bike in by the time Trek actually releases it? Did they already pre-order it or like how does it work. Thanks :)
I'm on a bike with a 32t chain ring and 11t smallest on the rear cassette. It's still not as fast as I want down some gradual downhills where I'm still pedaling hard. I'm on 27.5" so hoping a 29" tire will add a little speed. I may end up with a 34t chain ring upgrade on any bike I buy. I don't hill climb too much in my local area.
That’s a tough one. They’re definitely made for different styles of riding though, so I’d say get a procaliber if you want a lightweight bike for climbing and efficiency on lighter trails, and get the roscoe if you want a bike that can handle rougher stuff and harder trails including black diamonds
Please tell me there is a Roscoe 9 without fake mud black accents. I like a clean frame! That might be reason for me to go with a Giant XTC Advanced 29 2.
Unfortunately not in the US :( there is another color option available in other countries that does not have the black speckles though. It’s a crimson color
After a year of wating the bike shop just informed me that Trek has cancelled my order (already paid) and will not be delivering the 2021 model anymore...really wtf?
Hello, so I want to ask you what do you recomand me to buy frome the roscoe series, but unfortunately, i can only ride bikes while it is summertime because i keep my bike at the vacation house A little description of me i am 1.83 cm tall, and i will grow approximately 15 cm more(i am 14) Thank you so much for the video it helped. I hope you have a great day
You’d be a size large at 183cm or a size XL or even XXL if you grow 15cm more. As I mentioned not all roscoes come in the XXL size, but XL should be fine I’d say to go in between the sizes and leave room to grow into. In terms of deciding between the models, that depends on what kind of trails you want to ride. If you’ll ride difficult trails and think you’ll be riding a lot, you’d should probably get a 7 or 8, can also get 9 if you want the best. Get the 6 if you’re starting out and are on a budget. I have the 7 and love it, but the 8 I think would be more than enough for most trails and would not need parts to be upgraded much at all
The prices has increased +300 EUR for the roscoe 7, at least in Denmark. Is the roscoe 7 2022, worth 24% more than the Roscoe 7 2021? :) (love the orange color of the 2021 version)
@@joshuawest5967 Mine is a 2019 model so your's will be even better. But yeah, it's handled trails wonderfully. If I had to complain about anything, it's the weight.
Corrections / Updates to video:
1) The fork on the Roscoe 8 actually uses 35mm wide stanchions for even better strength.
Unboxing video plz 🙏
Hello. Can you please make a review of the X Caliber 8 2022. Thanks!
@@andromache2104 Should hopefully be my next video!
At my local bike shop the Roscoe 6 has a rock shock
Trek need to give this guy a bonus. I basically ordered the 7 after watching this
AW I'm flattered!!
I’m gonna order mine soon! Thanks Talalipop
Did you get it yet?
I bought 3 trek bikes because of this guy. I basically consider only Trek brand.
I bought all four of it. Great differences in riding… LOL
I'm purchasing the 2022 Roscoe 7 and upgrading the fork when it wears out. Great improvements! As an intermediate rider, I've been waiting for them!
Yess!! Good idea :)
Eva marek which fork are you planning to upgrade?
Thank you for explaining all these differences I feel so much more informed now!!
i love you
With the Trek sale, I bought an 8 last month and have been super happy.
That’s great!
Best comparison videos on TH-cams. Learn so much and great graphics. Keep ‘em coming.
Thank you so much!!
I have been waiting for this
:DDD
Same!
Great Comparison Video!! The Roscoe 7 really seems like the best for the price!
Thanks for such an excellent video. All the visuals make a big difference.
You're welcome! Thank you for watching :)
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 bravo dude. This video left me wanting nothing more. I got all the info I needed. Great job 👍🏽 keep it up.
Thanks!! Glad it helped :)
These are almost like a hardtail version of the fuel ex!!
Yeah!!
It basically is the fuel ex frame just not full suspension.
So many details in your videos. Great work!
Thank you!!

@william nguyen oh man the Roscoe 8 is awesome. I am riding so much and having a blast.
Lol I was here when you were riding your marlin 5 it’s cool to see how far you have come 😀
:DD AW thanks for sticking around!!

Great vid & great content.. ordered a 7 bad news wont see it till July 2022 🤯
Thank you!! And yeah the ETA dates right now are still pretty far out :(
Awesome as ALWAYS.. Much needed video, thanks! 🇺🇸
Thank you!! :))
I'd pick the 7 too, in matte black. Sick bike!
Good choice :DD
It's the best color. The other 2 options are definitely meh and an acquired taste since they're so loud.
So will a 27.5+ fit in the frame of the new frame rather than the 6 that is just the previous generation frame?
Awesome ty job , I'm picking up a roscoe 6 today 2022 I hope I like it

Roscoe 7 on order rn, made that easy 🍭
Thanks for sharing! Does the Sacramento Trek location have any Roscoe models available in size small?
Of course! And currently we have not seen any of the 2022 Roscoes, and don’t have any 2021 models in a size small

Beautiful looking bikes,just purchased the Specialised stumpjumper 2021 alloy but might buy one of these as a second bike.
I bought the 2021 Stumpjumper alloy too and I’m thinking the same thing.
I can't find diffinitive info on the rear hub. Does the 7 utilize the rapid drive hub or shimano and what engagement? The website does not describe
This is the video I've been waiting for. I think the Roscoe 7 is the best bang for your buck, and my choice. Really helpful video. Thank you.
Thank you too!!
Great reviews!
Which one is better for everyday riding Marlin 8 or X-Caliber 8?
They’re pretty much the same for everyday riding in my opinion. In mountain biking the x-caliber is stronger and better
I currently ride xc and am getting into enduro. I currently own a fuel ex 9.8 and use it for all my riding. I’m looking to get a hard tail for xc and will likely upgrade my fuel to a bigger enduro bike. I love the roscoes but do u think they’ll hold up for xc or should I look for something lighter
Better to go for marlins or x. Cals.
As they are xc oriented
Finally! Boost Hubs!
Yess!!
Thanks,. I have looking, comparing and of all other bikes the 7 edges out others . You differently cut out the other makers and models.
You're welcome!
Ty for this video I'm picking up my roscoe 6 today in AZ I hope I like it, too bad no updated from 2021 to 2022
How is it
Trek roscoe 6 or marlin 7? Which is more bang for buck for new MTB rider?
I went in looking at a Marlin 7, walked out with a Roscoe 6. A better fit for me, fun west coast riding rather then XC trails.
@@nicholastyler8177 how is it? It good for some kinda rough trails?
The new Trek Roscoe can finally compete with the Nukeproof Scout and Canyon Stoic. Both of those bikes also have 65° head angles.😌
Someones forgeting the marin sq1
Don't forget the Specialized Fuse.
Both the San Quentin and the Specialized Fuse have 130mm of travel compared to 140 of the other bikes.
@@exoticsoflt but the san q comes at a better price package comparitively.also it comes with the recon fork whoose travel can be increased upto 150mm
There's one thing I learned about biking the bike does it make the rider the rider makes the bike😉
They're finally here. And really nice too. Just a bit sad to see that cool 2021 roscoe 8 paint scheme go though. Great video!!
Thanks!! And yeah that paint scheme was nice
@@TalalipopMTB can I ask how long it takes for an average store to get a bike in by the time Trek actually releases it? Did they already pre-order it or like how does it work. Thanks :)
I actually have no idea since it’s kinda up to Trek themselves. I can say our store gets them pretty soon around the release date though!
@@TalalipopMTB ah. Ok thanks :)
ofc :)

Would you buy the Roscoe 9 Alpha Gold over a carbon fiber framed Procaliber?
That’s a tough one. They’re definitely made for different styles of riding though, so I’d say get a procaliber if you want a lightweight bike for climbing and efficiency on lighter trails, and get the roscoe if you want a bike that can handle rougher stuff and harder trails including black diamonds
I'll probably get the roscoe 9. It comes with better components compared to the procaliber of the same price.
so the roscoe 7,8, and 9 will come with tubless? Btw love your channel man
Yes! And thank you :DD
Welcome to the future. Almost 3 grands for an aluminum hardtail.
Crazy huh?
The 9 is over 3k
For me the wheel upgrade at 8 is huge,
Please tell me there is a Roscoe 9 without fake mud black accents. I like a clean frame! That might be reason for me to go with a Giant XTC Advanced 29 2.
Unfortunately not in the US :( there is another color option available in other countries that does not have the black speckles though. It’s a crimson color
roscoe 7 best value for money
I think so
i just bought the marlin 8 2022 like 2 weeks ago, now i want the roscoe 7 instead...
excellent job
Thank you!
Just bought the 2021 Roscoe 7 yesterday for my wife. Would of preferred the 2022 but the quote was July 2022 for arrival >.
Got the 2022 roscoe 6 on marketplace for 650 and it’s a great bike
When is the trek x caliber 2022 model coming out?
2 of them have already been released; I’ve made videos on those already!
What's the availability? I can't seem to get any model in Europe..
Skip the 6 FOR SURE, and buy either the 7 or 9 .....You're welcome! 😉🤙
Thank you so much, but I REALLY want that fox suspension
Just pulled the trigger on a 7 in teal can't wait to get it
Do you know if the x-caliber is coming with Thru axle?
Unfortunately not this year as far as I know
The roscoe 7 would be a huge upgrade from my nishiki colorado comp
bought a roscoe 6 2021 last year and it got stolen from my house and i just ordered the roscoe 7 today its not in till august though, cant wait
Ah man I’m sorry to hear that. Happy to hear you’re getting an upgrade though!
Lol and I just got my 7 yesterday 🤔 still super happy with it tho
Sick!!
I had a Trek Roscoe 8 2021 ❤️
I love Trek rosece series ❤️
me too!!
@@TalalipopMTB please unboxing rosece series 2022 bike
If I find one I can try to!
Okay thanks brother
Do a 2023 update pls!
Nothing has changed
does the 2022 roscoe 9 fork fit on the 2021 roscoe 7?
Wow prices went up alot. At least now 65 ht angle, dropper post ,a better fork ,and thru axles for the 7.
$2200 now in Canada
is roscoe 9 have beter frame then roscoe 7 and 8 or it is the same strong frame ?
Nope it’s the same frame!
@@TalalipopMTB thanks is it lighter ❤️👍💪 ??
My favourite roscoe 7 is the best deal
agreed
I know you love trek but can you compare the 7 against the merida big trail 600?
Big trail 600 better than the rosco 7 probably closer to rosco8. Big trail bomber forks better than the 7 and 8 imo
so Roscoe 6 is leftover 2021?
I have the 2022 Trek Domane AL 3 Disc & 2018 Trek FX 2, love THEM BOTH. NEED MOUNTAIN BIKE
HERO🙌🏻🙌🏻
:DD
Ugh why doesn't the 7 come in purple?!!
Still waiting for my 2021 model...ordered oct 2020
After a year of wating the bike shop just informed me that Trek has cancelled my order (already paid) and will not be delivering the 2021 model anymore...really wtf?
Hello, so I want to ask you what do you recomand me to buy frome the roscoe series, but unfortunately, i can only ride bikes while it is summertime because i keep my bike at the vacation house
A little description of me i am 1.83 cm tall, and i will grow approximately 15 cm more(i am 14)
Thank you so much for the video it helped. I hope you have a great day
You’d be a size large at 183cm or a size XL or even XXL if you grow 15cm more. As I mentioned not all roscoes come in the XXL size, but XL should be fine I’d say to go in between the sizes and leave room to grow into. In terms of deciding between the models, that depends on what kind of trails you want to ride. If you’ll ride difficult trails and think you’ll be riding a lot, you’d should probably get a 7 or 8, can also get 9 if you want the best. Get the 6 if you’re starting out and are on a budget. I have the 7 and love it, but the 8 I think would be more than enough for most trails and would not need parts to be upgraded much at all
The 6 has the best paint in that purple. Shame I'd have to upgrade my components on my own
Seems like if you aren't going all out for the 9, the 7 is the way to go
9 has awful colours
I thought the tires were tubeless, not tubeless ready, for Roscoe 9 at least.
All of the bikes do come tubeless; only the roscoe 6 comes with inner tubes
I believe I mentioned that those models come tubeless prepared with sealant installed at around 8:28 in the video
The prices has increased +300 EUR for the roscoe 7, at least in Denmark.
Is the roscoe 7 2022, worth 24% more than the Roscoe 7 2021? :)
(love the orange color of the 2021 version)
I can’t choose between a Roscoe 6 for $900 or a Marlin 6 for $800 I really like both bike. But not to sure what bike to choose.
May just upgrade my drivetrain on my Roscoe 6
Hows your 2022 roscoe 6 so far? I ordered for some kinda rough trails. Is it a good choice?
@@joshuawest5967 Mine is a 2019 model so your's will be even better. But yeah, it's handled trails wonderfully. If I had to complain about anything, it's the weight.
@@Black91crx appreciate the feedback.
I’m mad I just bought an older roscoe 7 right before these came out :(
Me too
Ya the current 7 is a great bang for your buck
Take it back and get the new version
i also think that 7 is the best choice but if anyone have budget then he should go for full suspension.
