Just found out that the same fork offered on the new Stache 1120 will be sold through Trek as a stand-alone option. They are on backorder right now and go for $400.
Good news for older Stache frames or even other 29+ frames looking for a better carbon fork with extra mounts!
My main concern on this new model is how it compares to the current stock Stache fork in geometry. Is it taller, making the HA steeper? I do like all the mounting options, but would not prefer a longer fork. Tough to get actual fork numbers through Trek. :madman:
The 1120 has a new fork, the 1120 Adventure HCM Carbon.
Unlike the 2016 Trek Stache 5 that came with a rigid carbon Bontrager Bowie fork in the standard 100mm width, this new fork uses the BOOST 110mm spacing. All of the 2017 Trek Stache models came with suspension forks using the BOOST 110mm, no rigid forks were offered on any of their plus bikes.
The 1120 Adventure HCM Carbon fork allows for mounting of the proprietary front rack as well as accessory mounts that allow for bikepacking accessories such as the Widefoot Designs Liter Cage, Salsa Anything Cage, or Blackburn Outpost Cargo Cage. :thumbsup:
