I bought a Roscoe 8 from Broomfield store last weekend. Nice people working there, but they wouldn’t let me test ride it like you did. I’m glad KZfaq served up your video.

Just picked a Roscoe 8 up today!! Can't wait to ride it! Love your videos!! 🤘

Thanks for the video, I’ve just bought the Roscoe 8 in blue and have added the GX AXS upgrade kit, it’s awesome. It’s got good stopping power, being a 4 piston brake set and I find it climbs really well. I’m really happy with my purchase and IMHO, I think the 8 is the best value out of the Roscoe line up.

First time I leave a comment but had to. Got my Roscoe 8 (same size and color) a month ago and so glad I did. I had also tried the fuse but as soon as I tried the Roscoe, it just fit. Goes over roots like my fat bike and basically exceeded my expectations. Tested it on a trail called Whitetail in Fundy national park over the weekend...it left me with a smile. Worth it.

Just got a 2022 roscoe 8 a week ago and got my 5 year old son the trek precaliber 20 in 7 speed. Both of us are loving the new bikes so far. Riding daily with the bikes and he’s learning to ride on some beginner trails

Me personally, I would put some coin down on the 2022 roscoe and put the other roscoe up for sale. I watched both videos and you seem far more enthusiastic about the roscoe 8 than the specialized.

Bought a Trek Roscoe 8 today!!! Absolutely love your videos and how you shine light on the Roscoe line. I am definitely out biked for many years to come

Your wheelies are so joyful and you make them look so effortless!

I have the Roscoe 8 in Blue, and ride the heck out of it on hills, rock gardens and roots. You are correct in thinking that this bike is playful on the trails. It puts a smile on my face every time I ride it.

You should definitely pick that 8 up. It's really nice

Good to see the positive vibes coming back!!! I hope you get the bike you sound so happy when talking about it and riding it.

It was fun to meet you yesterday at the Broomfield Trek store. See ya around. - Henry

Hey Matty. Not sure if you bought it or not, but I just bought Roscoe 8 size M today. I'm around 5'7. This bike is a BEAST! I had bought Marlin 7 in March and I was not getting the confidence riding it on trails. I also had an accident while going a little downhill, I actually flipped lol. I'm a newbie though. But with this bike, I'm looking forward to learning proper mountain biking

This is my first mountain bike and I got my '22 Roscoe 8 in Mulsanne Blue in a large. Haven't hit any trails yet but, the way it rides, I like it alot. So I say get it.

The Gold 35 fork on the Roscoe has thicker stanchions and will have less flex. The fork also complements the more slack headtube angle of the Roscoe. The Specialized Fuse Comp however sounds like it would be better for speed on flats and control in climbs but the Roscoe seems lighter and better set up for quick response and descending. Personally I'd go with the Specialized because I've had one too many shoulder surgeries to really take advantage of the aggressive geo on the Roscoe but you look like a better rider than I am.

Hello Matty. My bikes : Roscoe 7, SE Maniacc Flyer and.......just could not resisted two days ago got Trek Farley 7. Was thinking to sale some, but can't , love them all. Thank you for nice reviews and you lucky man have Trek store in right your area.

Your ride feel is spot on for new roscoe vs fuse compared to other reviews I've read and watched. Roscoe more playful, fuse more planted

I have a Roscoe 8 on order - since 04/2021! Initially it was the '21 model and I was very happy to get the dealer call to change to the updated geometry 2022 when that was announced. The wait is painful though. One very cool thing on this bike is the ability to purchase the GX AXS wireless upgrade kit. Although that does make this a nearly $3K aluminum hard tail.

Love my 2021 Roscoe 8. Put a couple minor upgrades: RaceFace carbon handlebars, orange Diety pedals with little spikes to keep your fee locked on. I'm not ready for clip ins yet. And the shop had upgraded the rear derailer. It's an amazing bike.

What up bro . ✊🏾 Respect for your videos and Channel

Yeaaaah man. Get the Roscoe. It has more travel and slightly better spec.

Roscoe is the most fun bike I've ever owned, i agree with you 100%. Front shock probably needs to be set for your weight. That red writing really pops too. #vibesback

People don't get that most hardtails come with essentially hybrid tires. Road and some light trail. Not the roscoe. Love those plus sized tires. Ready for whatever. Love it.

I have this bike in a L and I love it, feels great on the trail and on the road I use it for a variety here in the rockies, personally worth it👌👌

So many good bikes now. I LOVE my San Quentin.. But have to say Trek have finally arrived with this one 👌👍

Great Review.. IMO stay with Trek and get the Roscoe 7 and upgrade the components yourself (The upgrade videos would be awesome)! As you know, I have the 2021 Roscoe 6 and have upgraded EVERY component (ALL SRAM / Rockshox AXS).. Keep the reviews coming…

Picking up a 7 in a couple months! It's my first adult bike. Gotta ride with my little guy.

The roscoe is super playful! The most fun you can have in the trail !

I would love a 7,8, or 9. I ride a Fuel EX 5 right now. I just bought a Roscoe 6 for my wife this morning she seems to really like it so far.

I just received my Roscoe 8, medium, 2 weeks ago. I absolutely love it!

Hey Matty, that was my comment on your other Roscoe 8 video. Glad you got a chance to ride it! Let us know if you end up pulling the trigger!

I have one just like that and I love it! It's a very capable bike.

Love your videos! After watching your videos on the Roscoe I went and purchased a Roscoe 8 that’s in this bike. It’s my first Mountain Bike and I absolutely LOVE it! Keep up the great videos and thank you for the recommendations!

I got one for Christmas, three rides out and I love it!!

I got a Roscoe 8 about a month ago and I love it so much!

Appreciate your videos. Never owned a mountain bike but I have a Roscoe 9 on order (june 6th) so you are giving me insight on what to expect.

I went to Trek Broomfield for my last bike. Great place, cool seeing you ride around the same area lol. Now I'm eyeing the Roscoe 7. Not sure if I have the courage to hit that staircase but man you made it look so easy!

I got a roscoe 6 that I just got and love. Now I want a roscoe 8 but don't have the money for it. That's why I got the 6.

Hvae the same bike myself in a large waited 6 months for it totally with it I wanted the blue ended up with the green I love it already started with the upgrades with new carbon bars a new stem

Just picked up my 2022 Roscoe 8 today 😁 I wanted a full sus, but can’t afford one. So, traded in my 2019 Roscoe 7. I’m excited to have a 29er.

What made you get the 9 in the end? Nice vids mate

I like your vibe! 😎 Keep it up. I have also decided to stick with a Hardtail. Started on a Cube Reaction C62 Pro and it was a rocket ship 🚀 but to sketchy downhill. currently I settled down for an Orbea Laufey H10 and I love it. If possible, I will get a Stanton Sherpa one day. Or maybe a sour crumble 😊

I’m just getting into biking and could not tell a difference between a good and a bad mountain bike, but the guy in the store made this bike sound so good that I just bought one today for myself. Just hoping it was worth it.

pick mine up tomorrow matty Im so excited!

I like how Trek offers the Roscoe up as a frame only option also

I just ordered today a roscoe 8 in matte black olive!

great video yeah like i said in the last video switch from full sus to aggressive hardtail and have no regrets its fun to climb easier and learn new smooth lines on and hardtail again, just uploaded a new video on my hardtail, still like the fuse a little better though but u should get the trek fits you perfect and its still has the same aggressive style like the fuse comp 29

Glad to see you getting your mojo back! I'm curious if they set the bikes up for your weight when you test them out. You mentioned the Specialized had soft tires, which will change the way it feels of course. The fork on the Rosco looked a little soft to me, but it's hard to tell on the video. I think it's a great bike, and really you only need one hard tail, so sell the other Roscoe and even the Marlin and get the bike you want. You have an e-bike for the road if you want it, a hard tail and full suspension, you really don't need to keep the duplicates. Too much pressure to not neglect any of them!

Looks like it rides great, still waiting on delivery for my R9 next month :)

Great video, thanks! I ride the Farley 9.6 and I had the Stache 7. The Stache was the best bike I have ever ridden, so fun! I would go for the Roscoe for sure. In my Farley I have just one complaint, it is the GX shifter. I will update some day, other than that, the rear derailleur is great.

Nice review :) dont have a roscoe 8 but I have a 9 on order for july :D I hope i enjoy it as im not allowed to demo it because of stock reasons

I just picked up a Marlin 6 after watching your video! I’ve been enjoying it a lot, riding all around Denver on it!! Didn’t realize you were in the Metro area too, until I watched this video!🤣 The Trek looks pretty good, I wasn’t really impressed with the specialized bikes when I checked out Bike Source… it seemed to me you got more bang for your money from Trek. Good luck deciding!

Sliding dropouts on the fuse were a big selling point for me.

I just got the 2023 roscoe 8 in blue. My only upgrades I think it could use is a xo1 shifter for the multi shift. Then maybe some better brakes. Brakes on it are good but could be better. I love hardtails they are so much more fun to me.

Go for it!

Roscoe for sure! Gotta stay true to the Trek gang, but I’d also say it has better tech overall for the money. This review was long overdue!!

The brake levers are just generic levers but the actual brakes are 4 piston brakes so good stopping power! Don’t over think it

I just bought the 8 from the same store. Didn’t realize it until I was on the test ride hahaha.

You can get the 7 add 3 paws and spring you will have the same hub , sound and all

I think you're mistaking the sound the hub makes for the derailleur dude. The hub makes that sound when you're not pedaling. Thanks for review

Im picking up a roscoe 8 yomorrow for 600 bucks dude has neck issues and moved to full auspension ❤❤❤

Just found one of these on facebook marketplace for €650 and im gonna message the guy tomorrow cuz if it isn't heavily messed up then it seems like an absolute steal

I returned my roscoe 8, I loved it (especially the frame) but not enough top speed for me and the fork is too heavy imo. You should def get that Roscoe Matty

The bounciness of the fork can be fixed by adjusting the rebound knob on the bottom of the fork.

Well I think the supply chain shortage is being caused by Trek employees using WAY too much cable on that front brake and dropper. Also be sure they always set the fork suspension up for your body weight using appropriate psi and compression/rebound settings when you're out demo'ing bikes.

So I have the fuse because it fits my type riding and I have my enduro bike for the crazy big rides. So I would say that the roscoe would be a great for the type of riding you’re doing. Good upgrade from you’re other bikes.

Roscoe 8 with 29's!

Sick 😎

I put money down on this same color R8, im 5ft7 and i feel good on the medium size. You cant tell in these videos but that black turns olive green in the sun...I would sell your old R7 and get new R8...when will you ever choose to ride r7 over r8 if they are sitting next to each other?

The 7 needs to many upgrades. The 8 is probably the best deal. If people can't swing that price the giant fathom 2 is another that rides great and is a good price.

Love this Roscoe 8!! Had gone with Fuel Ex 5 but couldn’t adjust to full suspension for type of riding I do.

That bike is possessed, It doesn't want to be in the shop. You took it out for a short run and it made you do shit that you didn't think you were going to do.

You are 5.8' What is your inseam? I am trying to determine if the med/large is what I need to go with and I am right in the middle of the sizing chart of the M to M/LG size bike

Personally I love the specialized fuse expert.

I have roscoe 7 and it's excellent bike 🚲

What would you recommend between this and the roscoe 9? And Is there a noticeable difference between the two?

Just ordered the 8 in blue yesterday.

Prefer to support smaller bike brands than Trek or Specialized.

Im hopefully picking mine up this Saturday in the U.K. Going to get fitted up and take it for a blast. Would you go Tubeless on your set up if you take the plunge? 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Get it! Sell the Marlin and add this one to the stable.

watch out for them golf carts bro lol. where is the polegon bro

I am biased considering I own the 2022 Fuse Expert and probably has more of playful and aggressive feeling that you're looking for. I think it rides like a dream it wants to go. I do like the geometry on the Roscoe 8 however.

Nice shirt bro.

I live near you! And also interested in buying a new bike. We gotta meet!

You should try the giant fathom 29

Hey, great channel!..from Toronto 🇨🇦 Badly want the 8 to finally replace my 2009 Specialized Hardrock. Is the $500 increase from the 7 to 8 worth it? (Better brakes, bigger forks etc) Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Right now here in the UK, the 7 is full retail at £1200, but the 8 is discounted to £1350! Also, the 9 is £1550 so bargain time.

I have 2021 fuse love it

Get that bike its a nice looking bike you deserv it

Buen video :)

Nice choice.

Specialized Fuse Comp, but I am more of a Specialized guy. I ride the Stumpy EVO Comp.

I fucking loved my Roscoe 8

Here in 2023 these are the EXACT two bikes I'm stuck choosing between. XL Fuse Comp 29 or Roscoe 8.. both have great sales right now. Please help me pick; LBS for both in area. Will be my first bike and hitting local trails with small jumps here and there. I'm 6'3 240lbs. Which do I pick???

I too bought a hardtail for the stable. I went with the Santa Cruz Chameleon. Nice ride. Climbs like a goat! Check one out for comparison.

You said you are in Colorado? Isn't it very dangerous there with mountain lions? Do you usually ride by yourself?

Can you do a wheelie tutorial please.

They have a sale right now on Roscoe models, so I'm in between the 7 and the 8. The 6 I initially looked for was sold out. Do you have any idea which one I should get? I'm a beginning mountain biker who wants to get into it.

Hey Matty I'm curious my man, so how many Roscoe's have you had in total...

Bruh would you consider getting a Canyon Dude (stiff fork?) to review that? PLEASEeeeEeEEEeeeEEeE ya mean?!
