It's right for you if...
You love the serious fun and connected feel a hardtail brings to the trail, and you want one that’s spec’d with top-notch parts that love rough and tumble runs as much as you do.
The tech you get
A lightweight aluminium frame, a 140 mm FOX Rhythm fork with beefy 36 mm stanchions, a Shimano SLX/XT 1x12 drivetrain with a wide range of gears for climbing, powerful 4-piston brakes and a dropper post for room to move around on the bike on descents, corners and jumps. Plus, fast-rolling 29er wheels and wide, grippy 2.6" tyres.
The final word
Rip laps, catch air and crush techy descents on our best hardtail. Of all the rad parts on this bike, the FOX Rhythm 36 fork is the best upgrade – it’s capable of soaking up even the roughest lines.
The Walkthrough
favorite_borderWhy you'll love it
- 29er wheels and wide 2.6" tyres make for a grippy, confident and fast-rolling ride
- Bigger, stiffer 36 mm fork stanchions won't flex, so you can push harder with more precise, confident steering that helps you stay on your line
- The FOX fork's air spring can easily be adjusted for a specific rider weight, and it's lighter than a coil spring
- The dropper post lets you lower your saddle on the fly so it's out of the way on descents

Features
Ready to get rowdy
With 140 mm front travel, trail-smashing 29-inch wheels, and dialled-for-dirt frame features, the Roscoe is ready to get rowdy on your favourite rides.
Progressive trail geometry
A long reach, slack head angle, steep seat angle and short chain stays combine for a ride that's confidence-inspiring, yet still nimble and fun.
The strong quiet type
The Roscoe stays well protected with a double-sided chainstay guard, tough downtube guard and internal cable guides that help your ride stay quiet, even over rough trails.
Complete Tubeless System
Tubeless Ready rims and tyres make it easy to ditch the tubes so you get better traction, fewer flats and less weight. You're ready to roll straight out of the box with the included TLR rim strips, valves and sealant.

Internal cable routing
We route shift and brake cables through the frame to keep things clean and simple. And it looks great, too.
Threaded bottom bracket
More robust than pressfit, threaded BBs hold up in nasty conditions and make servicing easier.
Dropper post
Use the remote lever to lower your saddle so it's out of your way when you're descending and cornering.
Boost148/110
Wider dropouts (110mm front, 148mm rear) give you the stiffness of a 27.5" wheel with all the benefits of a 29" wheel, and Boost148 at the back lets you run wider tyres and a larger chain ring without affecting q-factor and pedalling efficiency.
ISCG mounts
International Standard Chain-Guide mounts offer easy chain-guide installation and adjustment.

Sizing & Tech
The charts below show our recommended sizes based on height, but there are some other factors, like arm and leg length, that determine a great fit. That’s why you’ll see some overlap in our recommendations. Not every rider who’s 5´8˝, for example, will fit on the same size bike. The best way to find your perfect fit is to consult the experts at your local retailer.
