The Top Fuel is Trek’s endurance cross-country race machine built to conquer climbs and inspire confidence on descents.

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

The new Trek Top Fuel Pulls the XC-race stick out of its butt and joins the trail bike party.
