My Trek Roscoe 9 Just Got Even Better 

Should've shown grandma and gramps a sick wheelie! 😆

The PNW grips are my favorite lock on grips, they just feel right

Technical climbing is my arch nemesis !

Marty rock’n the bicep pump

I told you before that with my 9, I moved that 10mm spacer that is on top of the headset under it which gave me 10mm rise of course then I added 35mm rise diety bars and it really put me in a comfortable position. You should try the 10mm spacer under instead of over the headset

My wife and I went to Bentonville today for the afternoon to hang out with our friends and just sightsee. We went to the Bentonville Bike Festival for a couple of hours, and I only spotted a couple of YT content creators. After seeing your pic of you talking with Seth of Berm Peak yesterday, I was hoping maybe to spot you there also. I guess you were only there for one or two days. We got there around 2 o'clock and some vendors were tearing down already. Maybe next time I will get there at the beginning and stay with our friends for the weekend.

I have the same bike. Its amazing... sometimes i think i need electric one but nah... my legs need some work to keep em healthy

I’ve tried at least a dozen or so grips, and the PNW loam grips are by far the best. They’re on all my bikes now. Their droppers are fantastic too.

Sweet upgrades man! I started with the. PNW grips after forgetting my gloves one day and my old ones didn't feel safe on downhill. They are absolutely killer! If I forget my gloves with these I do t worry about my grip anymore. Later i decided to get the bars after my wrists were bothering me and they helped a lot on top of looking cool... helped a ton! about a month ago got the Pedals and like them better than the Chester Race Face. Little wider for the feet to grip! I'm a massive fan of PNW. Kyle Warner from Kyle and April's RU-vid Channel is part of the PNW company and he helped create those bars!

PNW makes quality components so I think you will enjoy you new stuff. I use the bars, stem, grips, dropper post, dropper lever and pedals on my Timberjack. I like their stuff so much I also use them on my gravel bike.

I’d like to make one comment on the rattling from your cockpit. I’ve done this with my RM Instict C50. That an old inner tube and wrap the cables on both ends. Your left would be the dropper and front brake, your right would be your rear derailleur and brake. Makes for a clean sounding cockpit

I took a leap of faith and got a pair of Spank Oozy pedals. I love em so much, i got a pair of grips and bars from them too. Not a huge fan if composite pedals myself, but to each their own

I’m a long time Chester pedal lover. But I got Pnw pedals and grips on my new bike. I definitely like them!

I use PNW bar, grip, pedals and dropper lever and love them!

I added those PNW bars and got their stem to upgrade my 2023 Roscoe 7. I went with the 35mm bars and stem. Love the upgrade so far!

Those were the same upgrades I made to my Dual Sport 4. Total game changer for my back. You just gave me the itch to go out ridin' on the trail. Great content Matty, no bs or droning on. Keep it up!

Dude, I LOVE Three Sisters!

Nice bike, bro. I have a Trek hard tail XC bike and am looking at changing to the Trek Roscoe 9. Appreciate hearing your feedback on the bike.

Awesome video bro . Man I wish I had a Roscoe 9 maybe one day😊

Niiice! I fully decked out my bike in pnw as well. Love their products. The bars are awesome and the fat grips changed my grip preference

Nice job with the multiple camera shots, I know that's a pain but it does enhance your videos. You're an experienced rider now, you know what you like to ride and how you like to ride, so you're changing the bike to fit that. You'll find those bars more comfortable for the way you ride. Also nice respect for your elders, you were raised right! :)

As a general rule, take your height in CM and multiply it x 4.4. This should give you your maximum bar width. For example if you are 5'10 (178cm) This would put your maximum bar width at 780mm. This bar still looks too wide.. but thats only my opinion. You mentioned that the riser bars might make climbing easier. Generally speaking riser bars make steep descents easier as they tend to move your balance and weight rearward. So they actually take some weight off of the front wheel which can make climbing more difficult as you may find the front wheel is lifting on technical climbs. The PNW bars are a really nice option, with a 10 degree backsweep and a 30mm rise, of course comfort when it comes to backsweep is subjective, as some prefer more and some prefer less. The 2014 alloy in these bars is really suited to absorb chatter and minor vibrations. I run them on one of my Treks (the fuel at 770 mm). As others have said, the PNW Loam lever is a really nice dropper. I had the same dropper as you currently run on my Fuel, and it is a really cheap and fragile piece (trek has to cut some corners somewhere). literally the first thing i replaced!

I like the PNW grips. I put them on all 3 of my bikes. I do not care for their composite pedals at all. The pins bend super easy.

After a few months with my Roscoe 9 I also ordered the PNW handlebars lol and I’m also rocking their grips (but the fat grips version) and it’s so much better! Great handlebar for the price

I ordered a Roscoe frame a few days ago!

Hey Matty, I have also been messing around with single speed. I’m interested in seeing you take the single speed out on the trails!

Loving your videos. I’ve been able to hit a few of the trails from your videos since I started following you, a lot of really nice rides!

I run the PNW bars, grips and pedals myself. I love the Loam pedals, which are the metal ones. They make their grips in a desert tan color that would match the Roscoe's paint job nicely. Also there's a new DH trail that opened up at Lair o the Bear that you should check out called Rutabaga Ride, very fun trail. That new trail is smooth enough that I would call it hardtail friendly too.

PNW also makes a great dropper lever. Once you try it, you will not like any other levers.

Nice up grades Matty 💪🏾 PNW components are awesome 🤙🏾 they have all the colors to match your bike 🔥

Love to see the upgrades / mods on this Roscoe 9 and I really feel like I’ve seen the growth & progression from the start. Super Cool Matty! 😎🏁🏆🚵🏽

I have that PNW bar. Great bargain! I also like a higher stack so it worked like expected.

Im using pnw handlebars in the purple and i use a pnw loam dropper leaver as well that i highly recommend

I bought a Kali fullface helmet and wear it always even if i go 1 Block down the street , i didnt know when i bought it ,but KALI HELMETS HAVE A LIFETIME GARENTEE..IF IT BREAKS THEY WILL GIVE A NEW ONE FREE ..THEY USE THE BROKEN ONE FOR RESERCH ON BETTER SAFER HELMETS 👍🚲

New subscriber from LA, Cali. Keep it up. It’s bike park season and I’m looking forward to see new content

The roscoe is looking nice Matty.

i have the same bars grips and pedals they’re awesome

Nice upgrade! I added some pnw composite pedal to my roscoe 7 and got some proper footwear. Game changer

I had PNW Range bars and they felt really good but I just replaced them with some Stanton Ti bars.

I have those same exact pedals and grips 😂. I may have to switch to metal pedals, though. I live in Phoenix, and it's so rocky here, the pedals have actually cracked thanks to all the stones that get kicked up.

Hey man. Love the content. New MtB here Got a link for your shorts and t-shirt and helmet etc? Looks badass!!

You should do a quick once over of your bike before every ride to make sure nothing is tight that's supposed to be loose, and nothing is loose that's supposed to be tight.

Dude you’re awesome !!

Nice bike

You need a Custom Top Cap bling . ICE Matty or Lets Go or Come on we got this

Dayam, at the start of the video, I had to look twice, thought you had two blonde plaits in your hair, LOL

Got the same set up but different colors

I’m rocking a PNW stem. I have used their grips before and liked them but needed something more chunky. I’d recommend Carbon bars, you’ll never ride AL bars again. Takes all that chatter and dumbs it down. Nice setup you got there bro

I rode 3 sisters this Friday and again today. I tried the PNW bars and they had too much back sweep for my wrists. Other than that, they felt great

You say that's what you get for plugging yourself, but you got a great clip to add to a PNW review vid. That strike was no joke. I definitely want to see the damage or lack of.

Hey, Matty can you let me know your tire pressure on trail and off trail.

How are you liking the handle bars so far? Been thinking of doing the same upgrade but just carbon bars, to hopefully reduce some vibrations on longer riders. Got the same grips, love them.

Just upgraded my new Roscoe 9 (50 miles on it so far) with a OneUp 150mm dropper post (size medium says it only goes up to a 130mm, but you can easily run the 150mm OneUp in the frame....and the stock dropper is actually only 125mm of drop, not 130mm as advertised), PNW Loam Gen 2 dropper lever (soooo much better than the stock crappy one), PNW Loam grips (huge comfort upgrade over stock), Race Face Next 35 10mm carbon bars (another huge upgrade in comfort, really cut down on vibration/chatter) cut down to 750mm, Enve M7 alloy stem in 35mm length (my first non-carbon Enve stem, wanted to try it out), Wolf Tooth pedals (sooooo much better than the crappy plastic Odyssey ones I had where my feet kept slipping off), and my favorite seat.....Selle Italia SLR Superflow. I really want to upgrade the tires to some Continentals (Argotal front/Krytotal rear), but the stock tires seem to be adequate so far and still new.

Nice video again.

Hey Matty, I like those bars and pedals. Do you have a name or part number for them?

Hey, Matty! Is the the Range Handlebar Gen 3? Looks like that's the only one they offer, just trying to make sure. BTW, just picked up my Marlin 6, Gen 2 a couple of weeks ago, in large part due to your vids and recommendations. Love this bike!

I love PNW products and the brand in general. The bar sweep really is a subjective thing. I prefer a flatter bend and run Kore bars that are 7 degree sweep. I had bars that were 5 and some that were 9 degrees and I found the 9 too much. So 10 Degrees would be way too much for me. 7 was perfect for me. If PNW made other bends I would for sure get some. :)

This is cool

Matty, have you looked into the RAISED REVERSE STEM from Be More Bike's? Seth did a video on it on his channel, maybe you can get one for review, but it is pricey at $400... :o

I’m glad to see you liked them, Matty. I put the PNW range Gen 3 bars and Loam grips on my old (Gen 1?) gray Marlin 7 and like the rise much much better. I still have my stock stem though so I’m tempted to order the PNW one in 50mm; I currently still have the stock 80mm which has me too far forward on downhills and the steering could be crisper, though I didn’t trim the bars down from 800mm though. Do you still have your stock stem on your Roscoe 9? Is this something you would consider swapping out or is the reach good as-is?

Hola Matty! How do you like the Smith glasses?

🔥

I'm probably on a trek 6500 frame from 2010 and the first thing I needed were oil slick colored pedals with pins. All fun and games until you slip off and lose some flesh cause alloy pedals are hardcore and mine have sharp-ish edges. If you know some plastic/nylon pedals with oil slick color lemme know. Also bought a new adjustable ritchey mtb stem, cheap alloy 25mm rise handlebar with a bit of backsweep and some ergon ge1? evo factory oil slick grips..ofc the upgrades didn't end there. Also bought a new seat, brakes, tyre, tyre insert, tube and before I knew it an almost completely new drivetrain but kept the old shimano XT 9 speed derailleur. So much fun when you hit your new big chainring on a ledge and hear a damaged tooth. Really wish I upgraded to 1x10/11. Bought the damn thing for 200 but spent another 650 on it within 7 months. #itdoesn'tendhere

Lair of the bear has a nice new downhill bicycle only trail……check it out!

Hypothetically speaking: money being no issue, if u were to choose between a Roscoe 9 and a yeti arc c2 which would u go for and why? Anyone can answer and these r ur only 2 options

Which PNW handlebar did you get. I must have missed it.

What was the 2nd handlebar in the other box? Or was that for a different bike?

Why Trek over other companies? Do you feel loyalty after riding them for so long? I used to ride a Trek Marlin 6 as I’ve seen you have ride in the past I don’t feel it was a good or durable bike and quickly outgrew it. What made you stay loyal throughout the years?

Can you tell me what bars you put on, thanks.

Just curious What tires are you running ??

You're looking a little more like Jesus every day 😆

How much tire pressure do you usually have on your Roscoe? Just curious.

By the way, Trek no longer produces Roscoe 9, they will combine or merge it into the Roscoe 7 and 8, whatever that means 🤦‍♂

Your videos look pretty good. Could you please tell me what camera do you use? I'd appreciate it.
