Stache bike rack11/30/2023 However, even though the 1120 shares this feature, it has a slightly longer chain stay than the Stache (440mm vs 420mm on the Stache). The most obvious similarity is the signature mid-stay chainstay layout - designed to place the driveside stay over the chain to allow a shorter chainstay length. While the look and overall design of the new 2018 Trek 1120 shares many of the same characteristics as the Trek Stache, its geometry is quite different. 70.3° head angle, 73.5° Seat Tube Angle, 7.5cm BB Drop. 148mm thru-axle rear end and 110x15mm front.Internal derailleur and dropper post cable routing.Wide range 1x drivetrain with disc brakes and dropper post.Carbon adventure fork with two sets of triple mounts.Front rack cradle for secure front dry bag loading.All-new proprietary rear rack system for two 10L dry bags and top storage.29+ Tires for added traction and floatation.In addition, the rear rack provides an angled upper platform useful for lashing down cylindrical items, such as a tent or sleeping pad, without interfering with the 1120’s 125mm Bontranger dropper seat post. This concept was developed to move weight that would normally be carried in a large cantilevered seat pack down low, also clearing the space between the seat and top of rack for use with a dropper seat post… or for smaller riders who simply can’t fit a large bag between the saddle and the top of a 29+ wheel/tire. It’s designed to secure a proprietary dry bag harness system on either side (fitting up to 10L dry bags) providing a setup similar to two small rear panniers - albeit much more secure - to allow a bit more packing space than that of a traditional seat pack. This unique rack also prevents bag and cable interference and eliminates the need for handlebar straps freeing up valuable real estate on the bars. The front rack is designed to cradle a dry bag and/or other assorted cylindrical objects and set the center of gravity slightly lower than a traditional handlebar roll. The most obvious is the proprietary aluminum rack system. While the Stache is a great bikepacking rig in it’s own right, the new 2018 Trek 1120 brings a few tricks of its own to the table. Now the Waterloo, Wisconsin based juggernaut has introduced a bikepacking-specific rig to this lineage, the 2018 Trek 1120, which many might dub ‘the bikepacking Stache’ due to several design characteristics and the 29+ tire format shared with their popular Stache hardtail mountain bike. First the longstanding 520 and 720 touring bikes, and then the more recent gravel and dirt-road drop-bar tourer, the Trek 920. Trek has an extensive history making bikes specifically for adventure travel and touring. UPDATE: We have published the Trek 1120 full review. Trek has quietly unveiled the latest bike in their touring and travel lineup… the 2018 Trek 1120, a 29+ dirt-tourer complete with a proprietary and thoughtfully designed rack and harness system, and a full mountain bike spec…
