![]() Overall, the one word that best describes the Stache 9 is ‘fun’. The front end is reasonably long, the head tube angle usefully slack, and the bottom bracket is quite low – and let’s not forget about the additional stabilising effect of all that rotational inertia. It’s a piece of cake to flick the bike from corner to corner and even though the balance point is higher up off the ground, that ultra-short rear end still makes it far easier to loft the front end for bunnyhops and manuals than you might think.ĭespite that agility, the Stache 9 is still confidently stable at warp speed. That stubby overall length makes the Stache 9 surprisingly manoeuvrable in tight quarters and unlike with most full-blown fat bikes, at no time does anything feel weird through the bars. The rear end is ridiculously short and makes for correspondingly ridiculous manoeuvrability The elevated driveside chainstay allows for an ultra-short rear end – down to a truly insane 405mm if you’re ok with minimal mud clearance: the elevated driveside chainstay allows for an ultra-short rear end – down to a truly insane 405mm if you’re ok with minimal mud clearance In its shortest setting, the chainstays measure a miniscule 405mm from bottom bracket to rear axle – a full 3cm shorter than a full-suspension Trek Fuel EX 29er trail bike with the same decrease in wheelbase. Those big meats are just one of the two characteristics that define the Stache 9’s personality, though the other is its rather unique frame geometry.ĭespite having wheels that are two inches bigger in diameter, the Stache 9’s radically shaped frame yields a hyper-compact and adjustable rear end. The lack of similar movement out back (plus the tyres’ minimal tread) makes the back end occasionally prone to kicking out but all things considered, it’s generally quite controllable and yields heaps of tail-out hooliganism. ![]() Manitou is back!
