r/MTB

Trek Roscoe. About the same pricing and same components as the grand canyon. Just got one for my wife yesterday who Started mountain biking.

Roadie here looking to get into MTB after already getting into gravel.  

Sorry, I know questions like this have been posted before. But just looking for any new input since most of the posts I found in search refer to 2021 or earlier Model Years and it seems like new tech/bikes/builds come out practically weekly.

Looking to spend not more than $1500 or so. Riding around where I live is probably split between "Trail"/"XC".  Probably a more "trail", but gotta climb everywhere.  Ideally also looking for a bike that I won't be itching to spend money to upgrade components. (I know nobody "needs" to buy upgrades, but come on... we know what we are...)

The [Grand Canyon 7](https://www.canyon.com/en-us/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/grand-canyon/grand-canyon-7/2617.html?dwvar_2617_pv_rahmenfarbe=BU%2FBK#all-components-section-tab) comes in around $1300. SRAM SX, Dropper Post, Judy Silver Air Fork. Not sure how Canyon works, but on the Canada site the also list a [Grand Canyon 8](https://www.canyon.com/en-ca/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/grand-canyon/grand-canyon-8/2619.html?dwvar_2619_pv_rahmenfarbe=GY%2FRD#all-components-section-tab) which I don't see listed on the US site.   Looks like the upgrades from the 7 are SRAM SX to Shimano Deore 12, and the Judy fork to a Fox 34 Rhythm.  Price converted to USD is just over $1500. That would actually probably be perfect for what I want. From what I've read SX and the Judy fork are "okay", whereas Deore and the Fox would be a definite step up. But, I don't know if I can actually buy it.  Canyon Canada also gets a [Stotic 3](https://www.canyon.com/en-ca/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/stoic/stoic-3/2660.html?dwvar_2660_pv_rahmenfarbe=GY#all-components-section-tab) at about $1400 (converted to USD), wheres the US site only lists a Stoic 2 ($1200 but 10sp &amp; no Dropper post), or a Stoic 4 ($2000= more than I want to spend).

The other option I see around is the [Polygon Xtrada 7](https://www.polygonbikes.com/product/mountain/xtrada-7-4/). Their US dealer BikesOnline has it around $1k. Comes with Deore 12 and thru-axles. But the fork, Suntour XCR32 Air, (from what I've seen online) seems to be a bit of a let down. Though not sure if it would feel like that to me, who's used to rigid road bike.  Also it isn't  15x110 spacing like the Canyons.  So any Fork upgrade I assume also means you need new wheel/hub as well. The Xtrada also has 27.2 seatpost and doesn't come with a Dropper. So, $1000 upfront, but get a Dropper (what are they like $150 give or take?) and it inches closer to the Grand Canyon7 in price while not having as nice a fork (but does have Deore 12). Not sure what a fork upgrade would cost/if there are any Forks worth upgrading to that would have the same 15x100 spacing.  

As an aside, what does it take to upgrade from something like a Deore 10/11sp to 12?  Just cassette and adjust the Deraileur?  Or do you need new hubs, Deraileurs, shifters, etc?

Anyway, apologies for the wall-o-text.  A bit bored at work here on Friday and maybe I got a bit carried away hahah. Thanks in advance for any input!

Edit: Canyon basically said &quot;That&#39;s rough buddy&quot;. No potential option to buy the Stoic 3 or GC8, unless I meet a friendly Canadian who be my bicycling smuggling mule.

Edit: Have been convinced to stay away from SRAM SX. Have ordered the Xtrada7.

Is there a better "budget" MTB out there than the Grand Canyon 7 that is available in the US?

Just got the bike a couple days ago and today (July/9/2022) I went to Culham Trails in Mississauga and had a blast. 

I would buy the bike again

 My only complaint of the 2021 Roscoe 8 was that the front was a little heavy. Other than that, great bike! I think the 2022 model will be even better. 9/10 would recommend.

 I have taken this thing to downhill parks and 25 ft+ jumps. Really sturdy bike. My only complaint of the 2021 Roscoe 8 was that the front was a little heavy. Other than that, great bike! I think the 2022 model will be even better

Roscoe is an extremely good bike

 Um. For a start, it seems like a sensible approach. You know, given the kind of thing this bike is designed for and as well as that, most of us, myself included, don't batter along at 45 kilometers an hour on the flat anyway. So a bike - that's specifically designed to be aerodynamic at slower speeds - seems like a pretty good idea for the mass market

. Now, at the original point of the amount launch, the delineation was simple: the madone was the aero bike and the demane was the comfortable bike and the emonda was the light bike. Now things aren't quite as simple now, because in case you haven't noticed, everything needs to be aero, so the new demane, which was launched last year got more aerodynamic at the expense of a bit of weight gain. And you know the same kind of thing is happening here, although it's not exactly the same thing sounds a bit complicated, but it's not really that complicated

 So, instead of that, trek has picked the climb of alp dues. Now the benchmark test used during the development of this bike is a notional 70 kilo rider putting out 350 watts up the 21 famous hairpins uh. The thinking is that if the bike is quicker on the climb on that climb, then it also be quicker. You know on a bunch of other climbs too right, because road speeds are lower when climbing trek has mostly concentrated on what it says are unsteady airflows during development, so, rather than turning up the wind tunnels to 45 kilometers an hour for all those

 You can see the cable routing is very neatly enclosed here now the slr bikes get a new aolus rsl vrc, integrated, handlebar and stem, which has been designed alongside the frame trek says that that new bar is 10 more efficient than the previous version, and actually that's A significant chunk of the bike's overall aero benefit that new aero cockpit is light too, with weights from 272 grams to 295, depending on the reach and the width. So the cables both for this bike and the slr bikes aren't actually internal but they're hidden as much as possible, so in the aolus bar they run in a channel underneath the bar and into the headset spaces. That means that you can swap the bars without having to cut your brake hoses and re-route everything which is pain. The spacers here on this bike and on the slr bike are split too, so you can change the stem height without any issues as well

Hands on with the brand NEW 2021 Trek Emonda - Their fastest climbing bike ever

 Now the bike is based on an old tiger or 8000 group set. I'Ve said a lot about all tegra in the past, but I gave it 5 stars when I first reviewed. It is honestly almost flawless for a group set of this price and just about as good as it gets for mechanical shifting in terms of the gearing choice, I think it's a perfect match for this bike. They'Ve got a 52-36 crank set with an 11:30 cassette in the back, so you get a gear which is spinning enough, also fast enough for the flats

 You know relatively light weight performance with decent Aero performance. It'S kind of a best of both worlds situation, where you're getting kind of a climbers wheel. Also something that's going to complement the arrow shape of the frame the wheels are. Of course, it is 2020 afterall tubeless compatible

 It is worth mentioning. The bike has a short caged derailleur, which means you are officially limited to an 1132 set. So if you want something slightly easier, I mean, if you're alpine climbing holiday, whenever we're allowed to do those you will need to go for smaller chain rings. If you want an easier gear, [, Music ]

 With a chunky head tube, it does feel really good as you heavily brake into corners and again that I kind of superfast - and I hate myself for saying it but feedback rich ride is, is totally addictive and it's just really fun. Now the only thing that really holds this bike back are the tires. Now the Bontrager are three tires themselves are fine, they feel perfectly fast plenty grit, but I do not know why track aspect 25ml tires on this bike. Other bikes in the amond range come with twenty

NEW Trek Emonda | Addictive! Fun! Uncompromising Disc-Only Race Bike

 I prefer a slightly twitchier road bike. I love the feel of you know of it. You know how it handles and corners and having that direct response, i prefer something that isn't a little bit: uh slacker, i guess yeah, okay, so so that that fast witcher response was something that i really enjoyed yeah and it's interesting because uh i try not to Look at geometry, charts before i ride the bike uh, because i can influence what you you think you feel and this one i could have sworn had a steeper head angle and a shorter trail figure than some of the other bikes were testing. But then i looked at the german sheet chart afterwards and there it was actually quite similar, and then it made me realize that it's the way they've set this bike up

 I thought they climbed really well um and at speed, possibly because of the weight they you know, held their speed, really well. Yeah yeah um, of course, shimano ultegra mechanical, very tough default. It just works. It'S a workhorse! It'S why the bikes of our field test have that group set and it's why it's such a popular price point

 You can pretty much fit any width road tire you want in there and, let's be honest, the the fitting of the 25 out of the box is probably a bit of a weight, saving uh game as well yeah. You definitely want to be riding with 20 28's on this one yeah. I think 28 felt great on this bike and it did help just that little bit with the comfort level without taking away that feedback. So it was a nice upgrade andy

 The trekker monde sl6 pro comes shimano, ultegra equipped and lands at 3799 us dollars. Anyway. All this talk of a light stiff twitchy bike really makes me want to get out and see how it performs in the hills: [, Music, ], [, Music, ] you're joining us today from ringer reef winery in victoria's high country. Now we're in the township of bright, which is a town, that's surrounded by long alpine climbs, and it really is an area that straightaway, when i think of it, i think about riding road bikes in the hills, and that brings us to the bike we have behind Us the new trek, amanda sl6 pro, which just came out and we've previously covered james, swung, had covered and reviewed the higher end top tier model

2021 Trek Emonda SL Pro 6 road bike review: for the climb lovers

 The bike has also endured some local mtb trails, and is very maneuverable on switchbacks for a drop bar bike. 

 This bike has been very durable and the carbon fork does a great job off soothing out gravel surfaces. Prior to this bike I used an old Trek X01 cycle cross bike with an added lower gear ratio and this bike is night and day more comfortable and stable. Coming from a mtb background this is all I have to compare it to. In addition to being comfortable and stable at speed, the bike is extremely durable

 During one race in the desert, I came down a couple different steep plateaus traveling between 40 and 50 mph and hit numerous washouts which had dried out and were as hard as concrete which created some really hard hits during the race and surprisingly the rims never needed truing (although I had the whole bike checked out following that race). The bike is stable when hitting loose sections of gravel/sand. The GRX group set is outstanding and is so smooth shifting, and the clutched rear derailleur does an excellent job of keeping the chain from getting dropped during high speed descents on rough roads. The GRX hydraulic brakes do an excellent job keeping things under control during the many steep gravel descents in this part of the country; my old caliper brakes on my X01 used to fade and the entire rim would get too hot to touch

Yes I would buy this bike again

 If you are entry level rider and can afford this price, I say go for it as you will be very happy! Shoutout to Bicycle Central in Glendora for always the great service.

 I was debating between this and the domane al 2, with the major difference being the components and brakes. Price point is relatively steep for someone getting into cycling but definitely worth it! I feel that I can grow with this bike and enjoy it for years to come! I also enjoy the disc brakes and more tire clearance which can allow some versatility. If you are entry level rider and can afford this price, I say go for it as you will be very happy! Shoutout to Bicycle Central in Glendora for always the great service.
