2018 Trek Stache vs 2019 Raleigh Talus

The M is the Raleigh Talus size closest to your S 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 S, the Raleigh Talus in M places the top of the head tube 38 mm lower and 12 mm further forward, relative to the bottom bracket. Its wheelbase is 3 mm longer, which can contribute to stability at speed.
