They are very good looking bikes aren’t they? I am curious as to why they decided to spec a triple ring crankset rather than a dual ring plus bashguard. It is a long travel freeride bike after all.

So how about geometry???
hello, I’m Philippe of the south of France. I wish to change my bike and the trek scratch seems to be the product that I seek. Is there someone who can give me the weight of the 2 versions scratch? Thank in advances
i think they misprinted the fork specs.
fox dont have a 170mm fork
Trek actually offers 4 models of the scratch. 2 with coil shocks and 2 with air.Weights are as follows
Scratch air 6 – 31.96lbs
Scratch air 8 – 32.10lbs
Scratch 7 – 34.5lbs
Scratch 9 – 34lbs
The coil shock bikes do come with 2 ring, bash, and chainguide stock
hope this helps
