Field Test: Trek Fuel EX - Evolution Underlined

dec 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.

Hoogtepunten
  • Wide range of effective geometry adjustments

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

  • Great climber, efficient pedaling

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

  • Paint chips easily

Hoogtepunten

Trek Fuel EX 9.9 XTR Project One in bikepacking review

okt 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.

Hoogtepunten
  • Maximum fun on the descents

  • Intuitive and good-natured handling

  • Storage compartment in the down tube for tools or snacks

Dieptepunten
  • Too sluggish on easy terrain

  • Too much bike for long straights

  • Chain slap

Mountain Flyer
First Impressions: Trek Top Fuel 9.8 GX

okt 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?
