Field Test: Trek Fuel EX - Evolution Underlined

dic 2022 · Mike Levy

The downtube storage compartment is on the new bike, and while it seems like Trek has put all the things onto the latest Fuel EX, there's one that they didn't: Knock Block.

Pro
  • Wide range of effective geometry adjustments

  • Just as much fun on smooth trails as it is on scary trails

  • Great climber, efficient pedaling

Contro
  • One-piece handlebar might be too stiff for some riders

  • Paint chips easily

nov 2022 · Matt Miller

The latest Trek Fuel EX trail bike grows in travel and geometry, but still dominates the climbs.

Pro
  • Capable and adaptable mid-travel trail bike

  • A lot of adjustability

  • Great price points, and alloy version

Contro
  • Too many options for adjustability?

Trek Top Fuel Review

  • Suspension remains active without climb switch

  • Comfort and traction

  • Excels on undulating terrain

  • Hard pedaling rewarded with velocity

  • Solid chassis descending

  • Confidence inspiring progressive rear kinematics

Contro
  • Higher bottom bracket and shorter headtube reduce confidence on steep, rough terrain

  • Lower stack height requires conscious effort to stay centered

  • Not as confidence-inspiring in steep terrain as Transition Spur or Santa Cruz Tallboy

  • Very efficient suspension feel

  • Durable Shimano kit

  • Excellent sizing options

Contro
  • Heavy frame

  • No internal storage

  • Press fit bottom bracket

  • Top Fuel is more playful

Trek Fuel EX 9.8 GX 2021 in review - Trail performance over bling components

giu 2021 · Peter Walker

The Trek Fuel EX has proven itself as an excellent all-rounder in the past. This year, the American brand enters the race with the € 5,999 Trek Fuel EX 9.8 GX, which combines a high-end frame with a mid-level spec but still features Trek's Thru Shaft shock technology. So does it always have to be top-spec? How big is the difference in performance and how does the Fuel EX 9.8 GX fare against its more expensive peers?

Pro
  • Very comfortable uphill

  • Intuitive handling

  • High-quality frame with integrated storage compartment

Contro
  • Tires are very puncture prone and generate little traction

  • Brakes don't do the bike’s potential justice

Trek Fuel EX 9.9 XTR Project One in bikepacking review

ott 2020 · Benjamin Topf

The Trek Fuel EX 9.9 is an absolute classic in the trail bike segment. Could it also be the perfect bike for the next bikepacking adventure with its modern geometry and spare parts compartment in the down tube? We put the Fuel EX to the test.

Pro
  • Maximum fun on the descents

  • Intuitive and good-natured handling

  • Storage compartment in the down tube for tools or snacks

Contro
  • Too sluggish on easy terrain

  • Too much bike for long straights

  • Chain slap
