Samedi 29 Trail 2022

The 2022 Moustache Samedi 29 Trail is the French brand's 29in Bosch full-power trail eMTB, and this is the flagship 'new TRAIL' 750Wh generation running Bosch's Smart System electronics. Both ends carry 150mm of travel, with the fork paired to Moustache's own Magic Grip Control 150 air shock, a 2-position unit with dynamic rebound control designed to keep the front wheel planted on steep climbs. The hydroformed 6061 aluminium frame swallows the Bosch PowerTube 750Wh battery, and every trim rolls on Maxxis Assegai 29x2.50 tyres.

Power comes from the Bosch Performance Line CX (85Nm, 250W rated, 600W peak) managed through a Kiox 300 colour display and LED Remote with eBike Flow app connectivity. The 750Wh range is a four-rung ladder: the Trail 5 (25.0kg) pairs a Marzocchi Bomber Z1 fork with four-piston Shimano M6120 brakes and an XT mech at 5,499 GBP; the Trail 7 (24.4kg) steps up to a Fox 36 Performance fork and XT M8120 brakes at 5,899 GBP; the Trail 9 (24.1kg) adds a Fox 36 Factory fork, carbon bar and SLX/XT mix at 6,399 GBP; and the Trail 11 (23.6kg) tops the range with a Fox 36 Factory fork, Just_Carbon wheels and an XTR mech at 7,499 GBP. All four run 203mm rotors, a KS dropper and Moustache's own 760mm cockpit.

The reworked 2022 geometry is more capable than the outgoing 625Wh bike: a 76.6-degree seat angle, a 65.6-degree head angle, a low 345mm BB height and 462mm chainstays across all four sizes. Reach runs from 441mm (S) to 512mm (XL). It sits between a pure trail bike and a light enduro machine, which is why 99spokes files it under enduro despite Moustache's Trail branding.

The 750Wh Samedi 29 Trail has since been discontinued and replaced within Moustache's range, and UK distribution was always limited, so second-hand availability here is thin. There is no forum owner data in Greg's records for this model, so the notes above are drawn from the manufacturer's published 2022 specification and geometry only.
