I just ordered it on Thursday. And will get it in one week. I’m stoked.

3 of my 4 LBS' that sell TREK have multiple Roscoe 7s in stock waiting to be bought lol.....I can only find a size XL in the 9 locally though. Wait for a M/L in the 9 is July of 2023 though lol

I just joined the roscoe club, picked up a 9, it is freaking amazing in every way! Enjoy!!

Ya black raindrops!

What's the difference in cranks?

@@Chris-de2qc the raceface is lighter stronger...and it says raceface! The biggest thing I've had happen to me with cheaper cranks is stripping the threads out of the arms when dropping or jumping.

To say the previous bike was more playful makes it clear you have not ridden the new one. They are vastly different bikes an the old Roscoe was not quite playful in its own right. Good bike, but not playful.

@@Jamesthebikeguy The new frame etc, makes it better than last model. 27+ on that frame, would make it even better. Other who have tested it, complains about nervous wheels in high speed. And yes I tested it today, and still wish they were 27+ 😁😁

How is the Stoic compared to your old Roscoe?

@@pelisinho frame geo is better for downhills and jumps, but the part spec is worse. Though the Stoic is $1200 vs like $1800 for the Roscoe. I managed to get the Stoic for a steal from someone who ordered the wrong size.

@@ItsMeHammie I see, thank you for answering :) I have ordered the new Roscoe, but it has been a year and the estimate for delivery is still January 2023, meanwhile the price has rised almost 500$, so I'm looking at alternatives, I don't think the new price is justified :/

@@pelisinho after you ordered do you have to pay more when the price rises? How much is the new roscoe 7 selling for?

@@ItsMeHammie yes the shop told me that the price will be the updated price at the time of arrival. Roscoe 7 costs 1700€ now. I do love it tho, I chose the blue color with black logo that has some "dots" effect, it is so pretty!

Yep.

My 7 came with Praxis cranks and the Bontrager Line 30 wheels. Changes are made due to supply chain issues

Completely agree! $2000 for this? Pre Covid I bought a stumpy and it was decked out all shimano slx components and a rhythm fork! These companies are making ppl think they are really getting their moneys worth these days. This bike should be no more than $1300. Def not $2000

Um a stumpjumper is now $2800, so $900 more. Also has crappy SX now, not Deore. All brands are raising prices and cutting back on parts.

@@Chris-de2qc sooo yeah, you're really proving my point. full suspension is significantly more complicated than a hardtail. Hardtail designs have barely evolved compared to FS. Even just factoring in engineering costs to design the suspension. So for a hardtail to even reach full suspension prices it should be rocking fox suspension at least. Sx and deore are actually closer in price than maybe you think so that actually doesn't count. They are both entry level components despite deore being a smoother drivetrain. A Gx derailleur is like 100$. The suspension is not that far off either. So you'd actually be making a poor decision to buy this over the entry level stumpy, which can be easily upgraded over time to be as capable as any trail bike currently made.

@Matthew Serna Not everyone needs/wants a full suspension bike. Just like not everyone would rather drive a 4wd truck rather than 2wd.

@@hippiebits2071 the point was that the price is kind of a ripoff for what you get. It's not about everyone wanting or needing a FS. Rocky mountain growler for 1400$ right now on sale, now that's what hardtails should be priced at

Good call!

I upgraded my Marlin 6 with components competing with the Roscoe. It's a great frame except the rear is only using skewers.

I don't want to say your bike is bad, because it isn't, but the Marlin is a cross country bike. It's not comparable to this. The Roscoe has 40% longer travel, beefier brakes, better drivetrain, no front derailleur, dropper post, a much wider handlebar, tubeless tires, and it's lighter. It's double the price, for sure, but it's not just because the frame geometry is different and they can charge more for it.

Apples and oranges

@@TiagoMorbusSa Your dead on. My 16 year old Son got a new Roscoe 7 today. I have a one year old Marlin 6. My bike is a Canry. His is a Tundra!! Lol

That's exactly what I was thinking and it cost too much to go for the 8 and 9!!

Yeah. The bike will be a little bit heavier than a traditional XC bike, but a lot more fun for other things when you're not racing

Yes. This is actually the 2022 r7 in the video

29 inch tires. AKA. 29ER. 🙃

Hey james, thanks for taking a minute to reply to my question. It shows how much you care about your subscribers. Buhbye.

Wal mart

@@maxhenry1977 this channel reviews bikes.... ever heard of goooooogle!

@@kihealthandwellness i sure have. In fact, that is how i found this channel, and i figured it would be better to ask an “expert” who has experience with these things. Unfortunately, google doesn’t tell you if a youtuber cares about his subscribers or not. But hey, you keep kissing hiney because that’s what you seem to do best 👍

@@maxhenry1977 Yep thought you might be a clown... thanks for confirming.

Most likely overkill but if you want to hit more trails on your own or with friends then get the Roscoe!

Same boat here, same age too haha.... Haven't owned a bike since a teen and was kinda set on the new Marlin 8 before nerding on the specs and checking out the Roscoe linup. From the majority of reviews and comments on many many videos, the consensus seem to be that for the money the Marlin 8 should have some more modern upgrades that are basically all found in the new Roscoe 7. Better (more modern) frame, thru axels front and rear, tapered head tube, dropper post, better crankset and bottom bracket, etc. I think I'll likely just go this route (Roscoe 7) and have maybe too much bike for my needs and skill vs. buying inferior parts that I may need to upgrade and some of which are not possible with the Marlin frame and wheel set.

same.. but no kids 😁

Buy a Marlin 6!!

@@bacard100 that’s what I’m thinking.

Congrats on your bike

Ratio

yep, the same. Also I wouldn't call a 73.1 a steep seat tube angle... in fact it's quite lack...

@@Jacob99174 Effective seat tube angle is 74.7

Same

What about the back of the bike is not stout?

@@Jamesthebikeguy it's the same thickness tubing as the Marlins . I would've liked to see something a bit more robust for what you are spending on the bike.

The 7 and 8 are on sale through March.

@@matjj676 I saw that, still quite pricey for an aluminum hardtail with mid-range components…

@@guitarlessonsnow3431 I think so too. Love the Miami paint on the 7, but think I may have to look elsewhere for more value. Watching tons of videos... Lol

@@matjj676 waiting for the Specialized Fuse 29 to go on sale…

There is always a discount brand on the market...

Different strokes for different folks I guess

I agree
