I got this bike a couple days ago, can't wait to get out on it! I didn't order it, just inquired and got put down for it and with some research learned it's a real solid value so couldn't resist buying it. Located in the Yukon too, I feel pretty lucky.
Thanks for this wonderful concise and informative video! I just got my 7 in today and this video held my over through the waiting process which was about 2 months (I intercepted a bike already ordered by my shop but not yet claimed) 😉
@@alexgoriatchenkov Yes, I bought Gnarwahl and a Barbegazi. The Gnarwahl tires are studded. I change them out for the Barbegazi tires the summer. Installing and removing studs is a pain.
@@alexgoriatchenkov I stayed with 4.5 because I want float for summer and winter biking the river bottom when the water is low. Silt and sand are difficult. I figure I can get a bike for narrower tires if/when I need it. I went with, "Go fat, or go cyclocross.". For winter I find commuting is better with wide and low pressure (6.5 down to about 2 psi). Ice ridges left by cars on the road or bikers in the snow are easier with a wide, squishy tire.
Great Bike ! I ordered in July 2021 and was not expecting it until January 2022 so I kept on checking the local shops and found a few here in NY that had my Medium in stock so I bought mine in September 2021 and wow! This bike is great! The drivetrain is great for climbing and coming out of a down hill along with the great fat tires for awesome stability on trails. (Haven’t tried the snow yet 😎). The bike also feels slight lighter than my roscoe 6 (love them both).
I ordered an Xcal 9 in August it was originally scheduled to arrive November 1st just got an email from Trek that it has been delayed till January 31st.... 😡
I had a Farley 5 on preorder but checked my bike shops website and found a Farley 7! I prefer the SCRAM Eagle 12 speed over 10 speed Shimano. The front suspension is a bonus. I didn't think I needed a front suspension since fat tires soak up uneven terrain so well, but I am looking forward to seeing how the
@@goodluckchrisclark I found out buying 45North XL Concave studs will cost as much as one new studded tire. So, deciding on Dillinger 5 or Wrathchild Fat is my new dilemma. Any suggestions?
Just today got my Farley 7 2022, color is phenomenal and drives easily same as regular bike. Found one in stock 109 miles from my place, instantly prepay and picking up same day. Update; my Medium size have front 4,5" , and rear 3,8". Looks strange to me (according Trek site is should be), so thinking make both 4,5 , or 3,8 ? Any suggestions Please?
@@goodluckchrisclark Found and ordered 3,8 Gnarwhal (same as my) , will stay with 3,8". Man was not easy to found, and 4,5 was available for ordering only... 3,8" in front will let me install fender in way I prefer. Lovely looking bike!
Got my Farley 7 about 3 months ago and love it. Great for single tracking down here in NC.

That's an awesome place to have a fat bike you'll love it
I got super lucky finding one at a shop in the states unclaimed. Put the deposit down and am picking it up in 3 weeks!

I have a 2018 farley 7. Almost identical to this one except for the dropper. Such a fun bike.
Not many changes!
With Bontrager XR4 Team Issues (27.5 x 2.8) and Bontrager LineComp 40 wheels, my 2021 Roscoe 6 has almost the exact same look.. Love IT…..🇺🇸
That fork has an air spring. And a medium frame fits a 4.5 tire just fine.
I run studded 4.5" front and rear on a medium Farley 5. No issues.
@@danielmcgowan9534 Did you buy separately rear 4,5" tire? Just got my Farley 7 in M size and thinking about both 4,5' , or both 3,8" ?

@@danielmcgowan9534 Thank you a lot for the quick respond. So, 4,5. OR 3,8 ?

Amazing welding Job. Is it robot welded ?

Mine just arrived, I ordered it in May. I love it and get some strange looks in Texas.

Definitely still nice to have suspension, especially if you use it in the summer

That's a sweet bike there
If only they weren't a unicorn
Cool bike
I just got the 2022 9.6
Awesome that's a sweet ride

Yes we have seen the same, haven't tested to see if it will fit. I assume in lower pressure it will contact the frame

How can they have visible cords on this but not on basically all other models they make?
I have another comment. Why doesn't Trek publish owner manuals for these bikes?
All online
riding experience video please
I need good suspension fork for fat bike in india any suggestions or leads
They are hard to get, if you're 26" the bluto from rockshock is great
I want one , but cant find one in XL
We don't see any until August!!
What's the electric version
Nothing from Trek, Moose or Moustache would be what I referred to
Nice cookie cutter made by Giant.
Lol
