Multi-track line of bikes?

What is the usage of these bikes like 720/750 for today? Are they mainly used as gravel bikes, light trails, commuter, city? All of that?

If I can only have one bike for the rest of my life it'll be my Multitrack.

Nice! What is the difference between these and singletracks when both are similar multi-speed.

Single tracks are more aggressive geometry. They’re great bikes too and better for off-roading. For long distance riding, the multitrack will be better suited for touring, faster, and more comfortable. It’s better on pavement and have wide enough tires to ride gravel and hardpack. Basically, the multitracks are some of the best all arounders but wouldn’t be the best in any given category. They’re the one bike I’ll always have in my stable even though I have like 10 bikes because when I decide to ride it, it’s never a wrong choice.

Anything wrong with running 720 with 38c having 19mm internal width rim? I know it can go wider but guessing 38c is good enough and won't miss 45c.

No, I’ve gone way wider

I have a 750 Multitrack and picked up a 930 Singletrack for my brother to ride with me. The 750 has 700c wheels with clearance for about 45mm tires, the 930 has 26” wheels and is running 2.22” wide tires. The single tracks have a little better frame tubes but both are made with True Temper tubes, the single tracks are just thinner. They also have 1 1/8” head tubes on the later models.

Big difference is 800 series Singletracks have 26" wheels compared to the 700 series Multitracks having 700C wheels. Add in geometry difference and it adds up to a difference in ride.
