The brakes are Shimano’s entry-level hydraulic M445 brakes with a 160mm rear disc and 180mm front disc. Trek has utilized internal cable routing for the drive train. The drive train is a mixture of mid-level SRAM and Race Face components, utilizing a 2X10 drive train equipped with a SRAM X9 type-2 rear derailleur. The bike features Trek’s “e2” tapered headset, which also adds a bit of durability and stiffness to the front end. These axles are beefier than the standard 9mm quick-release axles found on a vast majority of police bikes, allowing for more durability and stiffness. The bike utilizes a 15mm thru-axle in front and a 142-12mm axle in the rear. It sports a 120mm Rockshox Recon Silver air-sprung fork with 32mm stanchions. The Trek Stache 7 is equipped with a healthy and robust mix of components. I found this to be advantageous to typical police cyclist riding environments as well. This geometry allows the rider a more stable platform for riding over the ever-changing environment of trails. The geometry of the Trek Stache models is a bit slacker than their cross-country bikes, including a longer travel (120mm) fork. Trek was a very early adopter of 29er technology, and their years of experience have enabled them to refine the geometry of their bikes, using what they call G2 geometry. The Trek Stache is a trail-oriented, hard tail 29er. The Trek Stache 7 is in the middle, offering a good component spec while maintaining a low price. For 2014, Trek offered three versions of the bike, with varying component specs (models 6, 7, and 8).

Gary Fisher Collection: Innovative bikes imagined by Gary Fisher, built by Trek. ISCG Mounts: International Standard Chain Guide mounts offer easy chain guide installation and adjustment.Ĭlosed Convert Dropouts: Hardtails offer the robust performance of a closed thru-axle system with the convenience of a system that can accept 142x12 or 135x5 rear spacing. It’s why Trek 29ers handle better than any others.ĭropper post internal routing: Not ready for an internally routed dropper post now, but want to keep your options open? Select frames are equipped with the proper entry and exit points to accommodate internal routing for a Stealth seat post. We solved that with G2 Geometry, featuring a custom-offset fork and advanced frame geometry for precise handling at low speed without compromising high-speed stability. G2 Geometry: Conventional wisdom says 29ers have sleepy handling compared to 26" wheel bikes. E2 tapers from a 1.5" lower to a 1-1/8" upper headset to provide more material where it matters most, resulting in a stronger, lighter frame with point-and-shoot control. This wider stance also mimics the benefits of an OCLV Carbon-only technology, BB95.Į2 Tapered Headtube: E2 is the evolution of the traditional 1-1/8" headset to a tapered head tube, fork, and headset system. This provides a wider stance for the frame’s tubing juncture, resulting in a stronger frame. Press-Fit Bottom Bracket: Press-fit BB is a bottom bracket shell that allows the bearings to press into the frame rather than threading in as on standard bottom brackets. Frames built with Alpha Platinum are hydroformed to create the most sophisticated shapes for the lightest weight, and are finished using Trek's smooth-weld finishing process.
