Cross-shopping the Roscoe 7 vs the Roscoe 8 was a bit of a challenge due to the 6100 drivetrain on the lower model. It was for a bigger rider so the 4-piston brakes and better hubs on the 8 trumped the NX/GX downgrade. I had no idea about the 35 vs Recon fork, but if there were more complaints about the dropper lever than the fork in this review I guess either are fine?
The spring sales on Trek and Rocky are shaking up the usual best-value propositions.
