For This Bike
May 2022 · Tom Marvin
An absolute hoot to ride on all but the gnarliest tracks, a true trail bike even if on paper it doesn’t look it
Shrugs off limited travel figures on 95% of trails
Loves to twist and turn
Fast-rolling rubber helps keep speeds high
Fork can twang under heavier riders
You’re occasionally reminded of the 120mm travel

Freedom of movement downhill
Firm and efficient rear suspension generates plenty of traction
Intuitive handling
Practical detail solutions and clean look
Very wide handlebars

Trek’s Top Fuel delivers superlative short-travel suspension performance but it’s definitely a trail bike not an XC bike
Infectiously agile and playful vibe
Superlative suspension feel
Seriously tight tracking frame
Trail tough kit
Internal storage
Too heavy for XC racing
Simple fork damper
Tight internal storage access
Yawning gap between this and the Supercaliber

For a bike that is so capable on the descents, though, the Top Fuel still packs a mighty punch when it comes to gaining elevation..
Great suspension performance
Frame storage
Strong climbing performance
Knockblock isn't as well executed as other brand's versions
Works well when pushing hard, but might not be the most comfortable for all

New Trek Top Fuel 8 is a short travel - 120mm travel front and rear - down-country trail bike with internal frame storage for both alloy and carbon models.
Sublime suspension, playful handling, fantastic size range, internal storage
Not particularly light for the intended use, inconsistent Shimano brakes on our test bike

The Trek Top Fuel has been overhauled for 2022, receiving an all-new frame with integrated storage, plus key updates to the suspension design and geometry. So how does it ride on the trail? And will everyone be pleased with all the changes? Read on for our Trek Top Fuel review.
Brilliant trail-ripping geometry
Active and supportive suspension
Masses of cornering grip & stability
Refined and practical frame design
Downtube storage is a welcome addition
Dropper post is sluggish
Wheels are solid but quite heavy
Carbon bars are harsh
Heavier than many of its competitors
