The Roscoe 8 is a trail hardtail for anyone looking to have some serious fun out in the dirt. 29er wheels, grippy 2.6″ tyres and a 140 mm suspension fork make it a blast on every trail, from packed singletrack to the loose stuff. It’s a laid-back trail mountain bike dressed in a high-quality spec that’s ready to party.

Who loves a hardcore hardtail? We certainly do! If you’re on a tight budget or simply can’t get your head around the potential maintenance and extra workshop hours of a complex, multi-linkage full-suspension mountain bike then a tough little hardtail designed to handle the rigours of aggressive, gravity-focused trail riding is a great option. TREK’s Roscoe 8 may be a little late to the hardcore hardtail party compared to some of the smaller British brands but the delay was worth it. With TREK no-doubt biding their time and watching how this corner of the MTB market evolved they had the opportunity to let the great wheel-size debate play out before committing to fast-rolling 29” wheels and building a very capable trail bike around them.
The new-gen TREK Roscoe has joined the hardcore hardtail party and we love it!
First off, to be clear, this generation of Roscoe is VERY different to its predecessor which featured smaller 27.5” wheels with super-wide plus-sized tyres. The previous range of Roscoe was aimed squarely at the entry market, with those wide tyres giving plenty of traction and control, providing confident handling to riders just starting to explore further on their bike for the first time; the previous Roscoe also featured more traditional, less progressive frame geometry too. This new Roscoe 8 and all of the other Roscoe’s in the range leave all that behind, giving the new models more travel, bigger wheels and progressive geometry to reinvent it as a legit hardcore hardtail trail bike.
The Roscoe 8 is part of a new sub-range of bikes that are very different to the previous generation Roscoe.
