For This Bike
Oct 2019 · Brandon
The Top Fuel is Trek’s endurance cross-country race machine built to conquer climbs and inspire confidence on descents.
Oct 2019 · Trev Worsey
This year, the Trek Top Fuel has had a ground-up makeover, adding more travel, slacker geometry, more clearance, and most importantly a change in attitude.
Nimble and involving handling
Happy to step-up to tough terrain
Lockout is niche and adds complexity
SRAM Level brakes prioritise weight over power

The new Trek Top Fuel Pulls the XC-race stick out of its butt and joins the trail bike party.
It's super light and fast as hell.
It's versatile—adjust the Mino Link and stem angle to fit your riding style.
TwistLoc system quickly gummed up and functioned inconsistently.

This is a XC race bike, and I should ride it as such without a dropper.
May 2017 · James Bracey
Swing a leg over the Trek Top Fuel 9 and the first thing you notice is the suspension is keen to get working. It’s a seriously rapid bike on the trails.
Rewarding ride provided by the Re:aktiv suspension.
SRAM X1 groupset performed flawlessly.
Handling is marred by the miniscule bar width.
Tyres are inappropriate for most British conditions.

Trek's carbon fiber Top Fuel ruled in mountain biking’s mid-naughties heyday, and now it’s back and better than ever.

Who wouldn’t have expected the updated Trek Top Fuel’s shining point to be climbing? Its predecessor was a World Cup-winning XC race bike and the Top Fuel has now replaced the company’s other race bike, the Superfly. With larger wheels, improved suspension and other updates, the Top Fuel is poised to carry on Trek’s XC race heritage.
