We've long been big fans of the Moustache range of bikes and the Samedi 29 Trail 2 ("Trail 2" for short) is no exception.
The entry-level model to the range, this keeps the costs down by pairing the same high-end frame and powerful Bosch Performance CX drive unit (and 625Wh battery) as the rest of the range, with relatively inexpensive drivetrain, brakes, and fork.
No corners are cut and the tyres are the same high-quality Maxxis tubeless-ready folding tyres you would see on a bike double the price, as is the shock - Moustache's own - to keep the suspension working as the designers intended.
An 11-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain, is - quite frankly - more than good enough for anyone and means that the cost of replacement parts is reasonable. The wide-range cassette gives a great spread of gears.
Basic Shimano hydraulic disc brakes are reliable, and with a four-piston caliper up front, powerful enough - and would be an easy upgrade in the future if you find yourself riding steeper terrain at high speeds.
Similarly, the Rockshox 35 Silver fork is a good-quality entry-level bit of kit which will serve the beginner and intermediate rider well, and is easily upgraded to something fancier in time, once you know what you want.
Condition -this bike has been well-used and, cosmetically, it shows some signs of wear. It has recently had a new drive-unit under warranty from Bosch. Battery has been thoroughly tested. The bike has had a comprehensive service in our professional workshop. Quite a substantial list of parts have been replaced with new. So - aesthetics aside - you're getting a bike which has been thoroughly prepared. Please take a look at the photos to get an idea of the cosmetic condition. We're happy to answer any questions about the bike's history and servicing.
