When Trek launched the all-new Fuel line last summer, I was eager to spend time on the Fuel LX, MX, and MLX configurations. I’ve spilled a lot of words about that bike here, here, and here, and it’s safe to say I’m fairly smitten with it. But Trek wasn’t content to just release perhaps the most adaptable trail bike of the year. They simultaneously announced a corresponding “+” line that takes the same geometry and features and slaps on TQ’s new HPR 60 motor and a 580 watt-hour battery. That means that you get the same absurdly adaptable platform, that’s easy to swap between a 145/150 millimeter 29er, the 150/160 millimeter mixed wheel bike I reviewed, or a 160/170 millimeter full 29-inch bike. And yes, the secret menu options are still available, although, as I’ll get into later, I actually prefer slightly different configurations with this bike than with the meat-powered version. Trek Fuel+ MX 9.8 Eagle 90 Gen 2, Travel: 150 mm (rear) 160 mm (front), Wheel Size: MX with full 29” capabilities, Size Tested: Large, Build Tested: 9.8 Eagle 90, Head Tube Angle: 64.2°, Motor: TQ HPR 60, Battery: 580 Wh, Measured Weight: 44.94 lbs (20.38 kg), MSRP: $10,199

Although raced by Evie Richards on the elite-level cross-country circuit, Trek’s latest Top Fuel 8 Gen 4 is a bike that’ll cater to a raft of tastes thanks to its impressive adaptability. Despite the meagre suspension travel, it dishes out stellar trail manners up and downhill and is primed for UK trails.
