It will no doubt receive a few odd looks but consider what they’ve achieved we forgive it for appearing a little unconventional.

The suspension pivot has been shifted forwards to make space for the wheel and short 427mm stays. We settled on the very general statement that plus bikes are great on sub-2K hardtails for entry-level riders on technical terrain, or on short-travel duallies for riders that require bulk traction for their conditions.Ī stumpy little headtube helps the bars stay low despite the tall wheels. We ranked some of them well, while others were a little too loafy and slow, we found they suited some trails well but lacked overall performance. We’ve seen plus bikes come on strong and somewhat fade away, the high volume 3″ tyred traction hounds barged their way onto the mountain bike scene a couple of years ago to a very mixed response. It won’t take a rocket scientist to assume that 3″ tyres provide gobs of traction, however, with the addition of 130mm of rear suspension could this bike be an un-crashable, go-anywhere bike that you’re after to make light work of challenging terrain? Plus bikes, are they back, or did they never go anywhere? What would 29×3″ wheels do for you? Fun times exploring the boundaries of traction. Check that out here – Trek Stache hardtail review. ![]() We had a jolly good time riding the Kermit green Stache hardtail last year, its 3″ tyres and agile handling promoted very unorthodox riding, it’s a blast.

The beefy 29+ tires makes easy work of the Northern NJ rock gardens common around here. The Trek FS is a blast to ride, a bit like a monster truck. The tires are set up tubeless, recently refilled w/Stans. The bike is in excellent condition with a few minor cosmetic blemishes from normal light use, no major issues.
