While the frame is stiff, the large, 2.3-inch BontragerВ tires absorb trail chatter and small rocks, making seated climbing surprisingly comfortable. You get out what you put in on the climbs, and out-of-the-saddleВ efforts are rewarded with quick acceleration. The G2 geometry seems to position the riderвЂ™s weight perfectly for keeping the front end feeling light and lively while still offering plenty of bite.Д¬limbing: The Stache has trailbike chops but still benefits from its hardtail chassis when it comes to climbing. The wide Bontrager handlebar and short stem combo is perfectly specвЂ™d for control with the big wheels and trail geometry.Д¬ornering: Big wheels usually offer solid traction through sweeping turns but can falter in hairpin switchbacks. Its short chainstays put your weight over the rear wheel, though the position is far from a stretched-out, cross-country style. Set the saddle position, sag and rebound on the fork and youвЂ™re basically ready to hit the trail. Moving out: The StacheвЂ™s simplicity shines during setup.

It is mostly outfitted with ShimanoвЂ™s new SLX components, except for the rear derailleur, which is a higher-quality XT with ShimanoвЂ™s Shadow Plus technology.

Up front, the Stache employs a 4.7-inch Fox Evolution Series Float fork with a CTD damper.

The Race Face Turbine cranks grabbed our attention with their green anodizing and beautiful machine work. The Stache features TrekвЂ™s G2 geometry, as well as some trail-ready numbers, including a 68.6-degree head angle and chainstays toward the short end of the spectrum for a 29er. It also features routing options for the RockShox Reverb Stealth dropper post through the seat tube and a routing option for other posts along the underside of the top tube. On the surface, the Stache embodies a straightforward approach to trail riding, with a stout, aluminum hardtail frame, but upon further inspection, youвЂ™ll find that itвЂ™s packed with all of the modern features you would expect from todayвЂ™s technical trailbikes, including a tapered head tube, Press-Fit bottom bracket, ISCG tabs, 142Г—12-millimeter rear thru-axle and internal cable routing.
