For This Bike
Oct 2020
My history of mountain biking started with a little wooden trike, with no pedals and wheels bigger than my head. I moved forward as any child does onto a bigger bike with bigger wheels and pedals. My parents always encouraged me to get outside and ride a bike, although I didn’t like the idea of mountain biking. I knew how to ride a bike; why go any further?

A front-heavy ride position and not-so-grippy tyres are the only limiters on this all-round speed demon

SRAM Level brakes prioritise weight over power

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.

Trek's new Top Fuel XC race bike comes stock with 2.4-inch tires and a dropper post. A proper dropper. And while these are just a couple of the parts choices made by Trek's mountain bike development team, they're strong indicators of what this new bike is all about: more.

A few days before the Riva del Garda Bike Festival we were invited to the official presentation of the new Top Fuel, Trek’s full-suspension XC / Trail weapon. You read that right, I also entered the word “Trail”, as this is how the bike was presented. Compared to the previous version it is defined as a more versatile bike, made with more balanced geometry and a lower weight. Let’s start with geometry. In the following images you can easily pick up on what the actual changes made to the frame were. It is easy to understand how they wanted to change the soul of the bike,
