2017 Trek Stache vs 2019 Raleigh Talus

The L is the Raleigh Talus size closest to your M Trek Stache. We match frame stack and reach. This is a geometry comparison, not a fit recommendation; stem, spacers, handlebars and saddle setup also affect your riding position.

What changes on the Raleigh Talus

Compared with the Trek Stache in M, the Raleigh Talus in L places the top of the head tube 10 mm lower and 13 mm further forward, relative to the bottom bracket. Its wheelbase is 18 mm longer, which can contribute to stability at speed.
