Trek Farley EX 9.8 review

Jun 2017 · Russell Eich

The most mountain bike feeling fat bike yet. Buy if you want one bike for all seasons, or an extremely stable trail bike, and aren't concerned about pure dry trail performance

  • Impressive rear suspension, has a very mountain bike feeling, wheelies and manuals with ease

Lows
  • Bluto fork overworked, small tire knobs, busted rear rim
